    Yeah Dom, Beethoven has no PC, no Recording Machine and so on.
    He has only a pencil and many sheet music.....
    All the Arrangements are in his brain.
    What a Genius.....
    Today we can playing alone a big Orchestra on PC...
    What an evolution....

      @@marcelcouture5373 he was going deaf at the point he wrote this but he wasn’t totally deaf. One critic said he it was proof Beethoven had lost his mind, while Friederich Wieck said he must have been drunk when he wrote it…
      Oh and he had a piano to go with the ink pen and paper.
      The piano was being developed during his lifetime and he was sent new models to try out, which is why his music started getting louder and more complex. There’s some disagreement about whether his music developed to use the new more powerful instruments, or the piano developed to keep up with his demands. Late models had metal frames. You couldn’t play the Hammerklavier sonata on an old fortepiano as it would break 😂

    Bravo Dom! I've been blessed to play Beethoven's 7th symphony countless times in my 38 year career as a violinist. Your timing and artistic vision are impeccable. The subtlety of your playing and skillful use of the sample libraries really brings out the majesty and pathos of that opening melodic statement. Truly brought a tear to my eye. Again, bravo.

    I appreciate your respect for the music, and you have my respect for that respect. If you would like a suggestion for another piece to demonstrate/orchestrate, I'd suggest Bartok: Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta, could be very interesting! Oh, and Brahms, Piano Concerto No 1. And Britten, Four Sea Interludes, and that's just a few "B"s... Then there's... no no, enough already 😉Wait - can I add Penderecki, Threnody? Ligeti, Requiem? All very challenging to DAW. I'd love to see what you can make of it.
    Given music of sufficient quality, the musician does not play the music. The music plays the musician.

    Be honest Dom. How much do you wish you actually had this giant "monitor" floating right in front of you and it wasn't just edit magic? 😅
    The fact that Beethoven was able to compose this while having already gone completely deaf at that point still is the most mind boggling thing to me. Also must have been absolutely soul crushing to be a composer and only ever get to imagine how your work would sound like without ever actually hearing it.

    Some notes of the library sound monotone as if there were no roundrobins. At 21:45 the basses sound like bagpipes. I think this kind of orchestrations need more MPE. A Roli Keyboard would be fine to put every note in a different feeling. With the usual keyboards every whole accord is with the same intonation. I can not do it better, but I recognize the samplebased sounds. May be that SWAM string sections are more alive.
