Orchestrating my FIRST piece! (Score Study Composition exercise)

The video tutorial explores the process of translating a piano sonata into a woodwind quintet. It emphasizes three main orchestration principles: maintaining the integrity of the original piece, maximizing the use of different instrument colors, and orchestrating musical gestures. The tutorial demonstrates these principles by applying them to a specific theme, discussing the roles of different instruments, and exploring dynamic changes and cadences.
