This is my favorite piece of Bethoveen.  Since I was a little kid and this was the theme song for the Huntley Brinkley Evening News on TV.  That's telling how old I am.  This is one of the first albums I bought as a kid.  I still have it.

Well done!

I love the piece.
 
I'm also impressed what you did in order to produce it.
 
It kind of reminds me of when somebody goes to the trouble of recreating something like a scale model of a fine old battleship out of nothing but matchsticks.
 
It always amazes me that people can focus so long on such meticulous detail.  That is so way out of my attention span.
 
Very impressive and it turned out as a nice rendition too.
 
Remarkable.

I love L.W.Beethoven! Your notation work is great and very moving to me. I think everyone who listen this work will agree with me.
Excellnt!! Very realistic touch of woodwinds, expresssions of dynamic, attack, release are too. Congratualtion!!!

I've been meaning to listen to this for a while.  Love Beethoven, the samples are good but the strings lack a little clarity for me.  Particularly the bass.  There also seems to be a couple of off notes, too.  I too make mistakes when sequencing orchestral peices.  By the way I use Notion 3 which is a orchestral, score, sequencing instrument.

The mix lacks a little punch for me too, this has to big and punchy in the loud sections.

But I am being picky and finicky.  This is an epic job and well done.

Peace Ben

We're not worthy :). Seriously, uber samples aside, as has been noted, knowing what to do, and when is what counts. Best pseudo orchestration I have heard in some time.

Cheers,

Tony
