Variationem Für Orchester – Arnold Schoenberg

Variations for Orchestra, Op. 31 (1926-28) is an orchestral set of variations on a theme, composed by Arnold Schoenberg and is his first twelve-tone composition for a large ensemble. I found out this small bit in a book called “Music by the Numbers” by Eli Maor, a book I warmly suggest to read, and I was struck by it.

It is fun to play with tempo and resonance, cutoff and such!

This is a part of a bigger project I am developing, a personal thing I am building, a sorta concept album (man, someone here remember what a concept album is?) and this is a bit of it.

You can download my blank panels for free (they are free and very likely will remain free forever!) following the link here! They are in pure retro 8 bit style so if you are an 8 bit guy (or gal), feel free to spice up VCV with 8 bit awesomeness! ;-)
