Reinhold;
This is exquisite!! Perfect in voicing, mix, tempo changes and dynamics. This piece was on the first LP (my parents - for their parties!) I got to listen to, on a Seabreeze portable mono phonograph. I would sit in the cool of the second story screened-in porch and play this over and over. I marveled at the rich sonorities and sometimes pretended I was the conductor!
You have a fine ear, to be able to put this together so well, I really enjoyed it!
....and Happy New Year to you!
Best regards,

Reinhold,
An amazing reproduction!
How did you input the score? Did you scan it in?
It seems like a trmendous amount of work.

Reinhold,
you did a marvelous job with this famous piece!
Dan
Thanks to everyone for the positive feedback!
How I did it: not with scanner - I believe that method would make too many errors, and I think that finding and fixing these errors would take a lot of time.
Instead I played the piece live - instrument by instrument. Well, difficult parts I sequenced off-line with some manual edits in the piano roll. Then I did a (modest) quantisation and drew the tempo map, to achieve a natural musical flow.
Then I replayed the piece again and added live the "expression" (with the mod wheel), individual for each instrument.
The raw MIDI I had done already in 1999 - that had taken about 3 months (evening work); to convert it to Garritan GPO4 took just about 2 full days.

Reinhold:
Another great rendering of a most beautiful Viennese Waltz. You should
be proud of this undertaking as it was so well crafted in your inimitable
style of orchestral sampling.
BRAVO,
Jack

Am I late to add my congratulations?
You are a very fine director and orchestrator: loved those piccolos and the bassoon at the beginning!
And a skilled performer too...
