About this score

The great arrangement for sax quartet by pcarmich was my first encounter with Musescore - what an excellent piece of freeware! - and it inspired me to try and learn to use the software. I changed the voices to what I experienced as a more orchestral sound, but then I missed the sound of violins. So - with my sincere apologies to Wolfgang Amadeus and all you music lovers - I added a violin score without peeking into any original sheet music, using my ears to my best of ability, while learning to how operate the GUI the last couple of days. Since I cannot give away what isn't mine: I did not bother with the license stuff, but if anyone can stand the sound of this and is inspired to fiddle around with it some more: feel free and share. What an opportunity Musescore gives to learn about composing, if you never had any professional music education. I thank all who contributed to this software: this kind of inspiration imho really is what the free software community is all about! Hope to learn some day, to write something more original.

Genre: Classical
Format: Other

Glad you liked it.

Followed your suggestion and changed the license to a share alike Common License. Thanks for the tip.

Let's see who's next to re-arrange, if anyone.

I got a mail from someone who was going to make a brass quartet with it, though I have no idea if they'll ever post it online. This one came as a very flattering surprise. Thanks again for sharing!

Great job! I really enjoyed it, especially the added violin part!

As a side note, since the piece is in the public domain, you should probably use a share alike Common License. Cheers!
