Sibelius Symphony No. 2 piano transcription

This is something you've obviously put a fair bit of work into, so I'm reluctant to critcise, especially when in reality I'm not criticising your work per se.

My impression is that there isn't enough depth to the sound, nor enough colour. I strongly also suspect that my impression is highly influenced by the medium through which your score is being reproduced. I would very much like to hear this done on a grand piano and by someone who would be attentive to the various different orchestral colorations Sibelius generates. I can sense this issue even within the first minute; there isn't enough delineation between the warmth of the D maj introduction and the bustling vivacity which immediately follows. I do however want to be scrupulously fair and say that I am not finding fault with your arrangement. I hope you can find someone who will perform this. I don't see any arrangements listed on the opus transcribisticum database ( http://www.pianophilia.com/ot/ ) so you are definitely performing a worthy service by constructing your version.
