The Promenade is not traditionally considered a separate movement, but the first (and longest) Promenade in the piece got a separate video. The other Promenades are all attached to the movements that follow them.

This is the 6th of 11 videos. The remaining ones are:

7. Samuel Goldenberg and Schmuyle

8. The Market at Limoges

9. Catacombs

10. Baba-Yaga

11. The Great Gate of Kiev

Of these, I'll be in 8, 9, and 11. I've already recorded "The Market at Limoges." I'm recording "Catacombs" this week and "The Great Gate of Kiev" later in the month.

Just out: Part 8, The Market at Limoges. There's paint everywhere, even on the musicians!

I'm in this one, and if you look closely, Persia makes a cameo too! This movement was a real challenge: lots of going back and forth between pizz and arco in very little time, and even some left hand pizz.

Thanks, everyone.

Funny thing is, I didn't realize Persia was there when I was recording! She wasn't there when I played my first take, and was when I played the take that I submitted. I was standing where I was to avoid being backlit.

BTW, the keyboard player was playing the celesta part. It's really rare for someone to have a celesta at home, so an electronic keyboard fills in for it. (Many community orchestras have to do that too.)

Bob, since you mentioned it before, I hope you caught the Ballet of the Unhatched Chicks just before the page break. It's easy to miss because of where it is in the thread.

I'm getting ready to record "The Great Gate of Kiev" this weekend, and then I get to sit back and wait for the rest of the videos to come out.

Next picture: Catacombs (With the Dead in a Dead Language).

The string parts are pretty sparse in this movement, but I'm floating around upper left when playing.

Also, look for the visual pun!
