w000. More people who love Einaudi. He's awesome. Currently working my way through Questa Notte. So far so good 
And yes Le Onde very nearly brought tears to my eyes too. Hehe I did it for a concert when I left school in year 11 and the head of music wanted me to shorten it because in his view it's too long (the fool), so I pretended to agree to shorten out. Then played the whole thing at the concert itself 
- the hall was packed, 'twas great 
- Einaudi's music is brilliant. Sure, its a bit repetitive but that means its easier to learn

Sure, its a bit repetitive but that means its easier to learn Lol, yeah a lot of them are stupidly hard to spell. I've only really come across the pieces on the Le Onde album. I love the faster bit with the triplets in Questa Notte - it sounds quite hard to play, but I was really pleased when it wasn't actually that hard at all - I may pick up Music as an AS next year - I reckon I'll play some Einaudi for the performing section of the coursework
- I may pick up Music as an AS next year - I reckon I'll play some Einaudi for the performing section of the coursework Yeah that was kind of what I was thinking. Ah well, I'll cross that bridge if/when I come to it
so erm yeah....wooo Einaudi! lol.
My piano teacher was on about how they sound better on the recorder! :| Apparently she and her daughter who plays recorder played around with the piece so her daughter played the main tune on the recorder and apparently it sounds really haunting. Thought that was quite an interesting little story anyhoo but she said they sound better on recorder. I was shocked! lol

but she said they sound better on recorder. I was shocked! lolCoolies. Hmm I've never tried arranging pieces for different instruments. Sure it could be interesting though...if I played another instrument properly. I mess around on guitar, but not played that in years. Want to pick up a new instrument at some point. Brass or woodwind maybe. Hmmmm...decisions decisions. Don't really fancy strings. Did violin for a bit in year 8...or year 9...one of that two, didn't like it - but then I probably didn't give it much of a chance....hmm....I'm rambling now lol.
Edit: Years = Weeks

I used to do violin!!
Yeah arranging is good fun, and it makes you think.
Le Onde wouldn't be too difficult to arrange,- just get the melody line and transpose it for another instrument.
Or I might if I get lots of time arrange it for a varied group of instruments...it could sound interesting!!

I probably didn't give violin much of a chance to be honest. I felt it was taking too long to get past the 'strangled-cat' sounds that I made.....but I was young and muppet-like at the time. Some things never change though lol.
I could probably arrange Le Onde if I wanted to - then have a piano accompinament in there just to make sure at least some of it is still being played on the right instrument hehe.
How varied a group of instruments were you thinking?

Sax quartet would be uber-interesting - might not really convey the idea of a wave much though. (at least I think Onde means wave....I'll check that...) Hmm sax is another instrument I wouldn't mind learning. I know 3 people who play sax and they all love it. Well, I dunno if one of 'em is still playing - but I'm sure at least 2 of them will still be playing it.
Guitar, flute and recorder would sound quite nice I think. Try it!
