Dear all,

This track is a wonderful collaboration I did with the Greek composer Fivos Valachis:

I got a lot of inspiration when I first heard “A Greek in Vienna” so I first tried to play it by ear. The melody sounded then again in my mind having more acoustic orchestral elements, and then I thought about the idea of re-orchestrating it. I studied the recording he did in more detail (to try to reconstruct the piano), and I ended up adding some orchestral bits that seemed nice to me.

I hope you like it. Your feedback is appreciated.

I liked it. The orchestration is a bit flat. It could use a bit more variation in registers, in instrumentation and in dynamics. Perhaps it needs to be somewhat sparser. But overall it's a pleasant arrangement.
