Orchestral Texture No.2 | from Rachmaninoff's "Symphonic Dances"
Музыка
In this video, I analyze a four-measure excerpt from Rachmaninoff's Symphonic Dances (1940), and then compose a brief excerpt of my own, borrowing both compositionally and orchestrationally from Rachmaninoff.
You can find the midi files, music xml files, Dorico, Cubase, Studio One, and audio stems for this video on my patreon page: / alexheppelmann

Because you like Joe Hisaishi's music, I would love to see you dive into his 'A Town with an Ocean View' score that was released 4 weeks ago. It was beautifully played by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Even the version of the arrangement is the best one yet. The first 50 seconds of that video is very addicting. Or, you could try a different path this time and dive into the world of Disney from Alan Menken's music :)

Brilliant once again Congratulations!!
Love these. Please make more! And what a great idea for a short exercise at the end. That’s the kind of exercise I’ve been looking for that’s short and not deeply commitive
Symphonic dances is one of my favourites. Would love more videos on it!

Will do! Most of the time it's OT Berlin Series!
Going off topic a bit!,,,,, hello Master..a question,...I have seen in several places how you can get the appropriate place from the!! golden zone! ,...but this once the piece is finished...and with the last bars of the count in hand,....ok! ......but how is the golden zone determined a priori? ,...one knows where it starts,..but not where it ends...number of bars ???.....how does Bartok come up with...create that zone,,in some calculation from the beginning? ? ......I did not see this anywhere! ...a hug Master!!

Great questions -- I learned from a Bartok scholar in graduate school, but the emphasis was always more on pitch content, and not as much on form. I don't yet have an answer to how to determine the duration of the golden zone, but maybe in future videos I'll discuss this in relation to Bartok's quartets!
