Another feeble attempt at playing baroque music, this time by G.F. Handel.
I love making arrangements for accordion ensemble or orchestra (and people play them all over the world) but I find that there are always errors or other imperfections unless I try to play and record everything and listen carefully to the result.
Over many years of making arrangements for my own ensembles I have learned that the audience does not like very long pieces. The Fireworks music normally takes somewhere between 16 and 20 minutes (depending on repeats and speed). So I shortened it, cut down to just under 11 minutes. I always wonder whether a typical audience for accordion orchestra would notice...
No video, just audio here. (There really isn't much to see when I sit down and play for 11 minutes... and I don't have enough Fireworks pictures to make for an interesting slideshow either.) Just enjoy the music!
