about

This is an updated version of the original “Scales (Assignment)”, fixing some minor issues that had been bugging me. For one thing, the horn is now considerably softer, as befitting the track’s mellow tone.

Previous version available on YouTube:

As previously noted: This piece was originally composed in 2018 as a bit of homework for music lessons I was taking at the time. The assignment was to practice scales in a few different keys, with the challenge of using only a French horn, piano and double bass. The result had sat on my drive for a while, until I decided to give it some polish and to publish it.
