This is the most Star Wars sounding non-Star Wars piece. Lucasfilm hire him!

I think the second mvt sounds like narnia! Deffo all the harp

It sounds like a piece from one of the knights of the old Republic games

The opening bars are The Empire Strikes Back, literally verbatim. Verbarim?

Let's see what twoset thinks of this.

Not killing 2nd violins' ears, eh?

[@justanotherpiccplayer3511]

@@serafimaafanasieva9536 hate to break ur heart but all of this is consistently not super high, and also the trick to playing in front of the piccolo in orchestra is to be a first study piccolo player and a second study violinist ;) (and use earplugs)

[@serafimaafanasieva9536]

@@justanotherpiccplayer3511 I know, I'm a picc player myself. To understand what I meant I'd advise to watch 2set's video about the piccolo, it's pretty funny

[@justanotherpiccplayer3511]

@@serafimaafanasieva9536 my guy I am a piccolo player and I sit back of seconds, I am well aware it murders your ears from like years of experience, I've prolly seen that twoset vid at some point too, it's a joke abt being both a picc player n also sitting back of seconds, everyone asks how I deal with it 😂
