- In this video, I analyze a four-measure excerpt from Rachmaninoff's Symphonic Dances (1940), and then compose a brief excerpt of my own, borrowing both compositionally and orchestrationally from Rachmaninoff.
You can find the midi files, music xml files, Dorico, Cubase, Studio One, and audio stems for this video on my patreon page: / alexheppelmann

I always learn so much from the analysis of pieces by great composers like Rachmaninoff! This is really helpful. Fantastic work as always Alex!
Thanks!!
Because you like Joe Hisaishi's music, I would love to see you dive into his 'A Town with an Ocean View' score that was released 4 weeks ago. It was beautifully played by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Even the version of the arrangement is the best one yet. The first 50 seconds of that video is very addicting. Or, you could try a different path this time and dive into the world of Disney from Alan Menken's music :)
Is that score available for purchase?

Brilliant once again
Congratulations!!
Symphonic dances is one of my favourites. Would love more videos on it!
One of my favorites too!
Love these. Please make more! And what a great idea for a short exercise at the end. That’s the kind of exercise I’ve been looking for that’s short and not deeply commitive
Wonderfully done!!
Thank you very much!
Great video as always, Alex! This format is fantastic. I’d love to see more videos were you break down and reverse engineer great orchestration examples.
Thanks, Karl. Let me know if you have ideas for short excerpts to break down!
Great video. Appreciate the insight into your thought process.
Thanks, Steve!
Amazing teacher
Great video Alex! If i may, would be really great and helpfull if You could adding somwhere in description in future videos some short list which sample libraries You use in video. Anyways thank You ;)
Will do! Most of the time it's OT Berlin Series!
Going off topic a bit!,,,,, hello Master..a question,...I have seen in several places how you can get the appropriate place from the!! golden zone! ,...but this once the piece is finished...and with the last bars of the count in hand,....ok! ......but how is the golden zone determined a priori? ,...one knows where it starts,..but not where it ends...number of bars ???.....how does Bartok come up with...create that zone,,in some calculation from the beginning? ? ......I did not see this anywhere! ...a hug Master!!
Great questions -- I learned from a Bartok scholar in graduate school, but the emphasis was always more on pitch content, and not as much on form. I don't yet have an answer to how to determine the duration of the golden zone, but maybe in future videos I'll discuss this in relation to Bartok's quartets!
