Excellent orchestration!!
But... I confess that I missed viewing the orchestra score, because at least for me it is clearer than seeing the midi file.
In any case, I would like to thank you for a class as brilliant as this one!!

Thank you so much and thanks for listening!
In each video I try to rotate between focusing more on MIDI and more on the score. I strongly agree that a score is much clearer, but I know a lot of my viewers here don't work out of scores.
Here's a video where I only work on the score though if you're interesting in seeing me work this way : th-cam.com/video/wb3N6Z7s778/w-d-xo.html

@@adavidcompo Merci..!!

Nice piece and explanation of choices and reasons for those choices. I think we learn as much knowing why someone did something as we learn trying to reverse engineer why Ravel made his choices.

Thanks a lot!
Yes indeed, it’s often helpful to have input from the composer himself !
