   Ferrucio Busoni's mammoth Piano Concerto is spread over 5
movements (with a male chorus in the finale!), taking about
an hour to perform.  This is the 4th movement, a Tarantella
("All' Italiana").

   The sequence was done for a Proteus 2 (the orchestral
instruments) and a Korg P3 piano module. The .mid file
has transposed the basses track down an octave and the
piccolo track up an octave, since these instruments sound,
respecively, an octave lower and higher than written.
The Proteus 2 allows for this, but most sound modules don't.
The A Clarinets and French Horns have also been transposed to
concert pitch.

   To keep the orchestral tracks down to 16 channels, I've
had to do a lot of program changes in the Tremolo Strings
track. They're annotated in the Comments part of the track,
but not all sequencers display this information, so I've
given it below:

Instrument                  Bars:

Pizzicato Violins           286-291; 739-742

Glockenspiel                296-308; 614-619

Pizzicato Cellos            353-365

Pizzicato Violas & Cellos   383-395

back to Tremolo Strings     520-577

   Snare Drums: single hits are a C; rolls are an A.
