I'm alive (mostly).
Been pretty busy.

I found this site early 2020, and the sheet music has really helped me improve my playing. Thanks to everyone who has contributed, it's been really great.

I started arranging more for orschestra and different ensambles/quartets. And it has had me changed up a bit when it comes to articulation. When I arrange for piano I really like putting a lot of slurs a bit all over the place, as sort of phrase lines. But when it comes to orchestral instruments like strings or woodwinds. Marking things as slur actually has more of an implication. Meaning it's supposed to be played with a certain technique. For example playing some notes in one breath or playing certain notes in one bow stroke. Rather than on piano where it is more loose as it could be meant to be played as legato but could also be more a general phrase mark. As of such I started using the dotted slur more in orchestral arrangements when I want to show the phrase, but not neccessary have the legato effect (like playing certain notes in one bow/one breath). And the legato slur more sparingly, only when meant.
