   This is Hershey Kay's orchestration of Louis Moreau Gottschalk's
Grand Tarantelle for piano and orchestra. Later it became the basis
for the Cakewalk ballet. I've sequenced it for the Proteus 2 (orchestral
parts) and a Korg P3 piano module. I play it on a multiport MIDI interface
so I have no polyphony problems, but if you play it on a single synth with
only 32-note polyphony you may experience some problems.

   Some notes:

   I've used various Proteus 2 French horn programs: 36 for soft horns,
37 for loud horns, and 38 for Section (mixed) horns.

   To keep it down to 16 channels I have the pizzicato and arco (bowed)
Violas sharing a track, so you'll find program number changes embedded
within the tracks (7 for arco, 15 for pizzicato).

   Since the Proteus 2's pizzicato strings are somewhat sonorous, I
generally sequence them a degree softer than they are written (e.g.
mp instead of mf; this is about 24 degrees of velocity on a 0-127
synth).
