Notes on this transcription:

I made a note to myself to make a transcription for this piece when I first heard it a long time ago. However, a lack of commitment and resources meant that this project never got started until now. My hopes for this project are twofold... to add to the solo pianist's repertoire and to demonstrate that this piece can sound just as beautiful, albeit a little different, on the keyboard.

As much as possible, I have tried to preserve all the voices in the Ferdinand/Charlier scores while ensuring that the piece is playable. As a result, the required technical skill is inevitably high. However, I assure the intermediate level pianist that the transcription is definitely playable with a little investment in time and effort. The advanced pianist will find it easier for sure.

I have opted to play back on MuseScore because I am certain that the amount of time required of me to make a decent recording on a real piano for a piece this long would mean that this transcription may never be published. I have chosen the Salamander Grand Piano soundfont because it is the best option available for MuseScore. I have adjusted the velocities for every single note in order to get better dynamics for a more lifelike playback.
