This is a piano arrangement of "Bastian's Happy Flight" ("Flug auf dem Glücksdrachen") from the "The NeverEnding Story" ("Die Unendliche Geschichte"). 

When I was in school, there was an outstanding musician, who used to play this on the piano. His name was Andrés Atala-Quezada (my, what a name...)  When I asked him to write down, what he was playing, he said he wouldn't for no reason. In 2005 I remembered  him and this fantastic piece by Klaus Doldinger. So I sat down and wrote my own version heavily influenced by what I could recall of his playing at that time.

Hello fellow music addicts!

I love to listen to every kind of good music. Good music for me should be unique in its rhythm, harmonies, sounds or interpretation. Good music should captivate the listener from the first note on and never let him go until the last.

I write my own music in a mostly contemporary classical style, which is inspired by the great composers from the past as well as from the 20th century (like Prokofiev, Shostakovich, Strawinsky, Bartók, Strauss, Eisler and many more).

I'm looking for artists, who want to interpret my music. I send sheet music for free to anybody in the world, who is interested in performing my music live on stage, in studio, in your music class or anywhere. The only condition I have is, that you record it in any possible way, so I can hear your interpretation.

I hope my music captivates you as it captivates me.

There's a nice youtube tutorial on orchestration approach by Thomas Goss, I highly recommend to watch.

For me it makes perfect sense, what Thomas says.
