Hello all,

I've uploaded a youtube (Noteperformer sampled) video of Draeseke's Feenzauber (WoO.36), a concert piece for Harp and orchestra. In this delightful concertante piece the harp has a mostly decorative role – none of the principal melodies are featured on the harp that much, and all the musical development is carried by the orchestra. I think that some of you might enjoy this sensitively expressive work by Draeseke, with many beautiful passages alternating between its fiery and accentuated orchestral interludes.

I already typeset the score this past summer while waiting to set aside some time to make the instrument parts too, which I never got around to. I wonder if there is any interest in having them available as well?

Hi Tuomas: I thought this piece deserved a thread of its own.

Thanks for your work on it!
