Marius van 't Kruys - Symphony nº 2 op. 38 for orchestra (demo)

Van 't Kruys (1861-1919) was a Dutch composer, organist and conductor. Whenever he is remembered his organ pieces come to mind, but he wrote also many works for orchestra: opera-fantasies, overtures, suites, an organ concerto, and two symphonies. He wrote in a style that is similar to Richard Strauss and Strawinsky, but you can hear a great deal of Mendelssohn also in this 2nd symphony.

Thank you for doing these demos. Would you consider posting the score in the video so we can follow along with your demos?

I actually haven't a clue how to do this..

@@mdmusics9410 I did it once and it's hard. One has to have a PDF file of the score or scan the paper score and create jpg's of each two pages. Then assemble them into a video, and sync the pages with the music. I did one symphony and it took about 8 hours of work scanning the score, cleaning up and straightening the pages, then using video editing software (Premiere) to create a video. Maybe other people have a faster way. I don't know a better way to do it. Thanks for your efforts with the music!
