2 versions of my instrumentation of Robert Schumann's enchanting romantic Lied "Mondnacht" after Eichendorff.
In my concept, a lyrical soprano should sing the text, however, in this mockup, I replaced the singer with a soprano saxophone.

Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra's Principal Cello Allan Steele has been playing cello since the age of four, but this weekend will be his first time to play Schumann's Cello Concerto. In this feature with WRR's Amy Bishop, he talks about his favorite part of the work, and the enduring popularity of the other piece on the program, Berlioz's Symphonie fantastique.

This is my transcription and arrangement of Robert Schumann's Album for the Young, Op. 68: No. 10 The Merry Farmer.

The melody was famously used in the 1990's children's television show "The Animaniacs" song "A Quake, A Quake."

This track has become a part of the 2nd. half of my suite "Qazaqstanda", published on MixCloud. https://www.mixcloud.com/MadMusicologist/qazaqstanda-2nd-part/.
ThereforeI am going to remove this track from this fine platform next week.

I play clarinet, guitars, and so on. Klezmer, Manouche Swing (Jazz), Originals, sometimes arranged in a rock manner... This account is a sort of raw materials toybox.

I am an accomplished amateur pianist with a deep-rooted passion for music. My journey with the piano and music theory spanned a decade of dedicated study during my formative years. However, as I embarked on my university education, my musical pursuits took a back seat due to time constraints.

Fast forward three decades, in December 2019, I made a pivotal decision to reignite my passion for the piano. With unwavering commitment and the guidance of an exceptional piano teacher, I embarked on a remarkable musical journey. Through daily practice sessions lasting at least one hour, and the privilege of playing on my beloved Steinway grand piano, I continue to evolve as a non-professional pianist.

Exploring the vast and enchanting repertoire of piano music has become a source of joy and personal growth. I am excited to share this ongoing musical adventure with you, as I strive for excellence and celebrate the beautiful sound and intricate techniques that the piano has to offer.
