Centre08_Sissonnes-Valses Nobles D969-9_Schubert10.22.22.pdfChanges made in arranged score:
Used only mm. 1-16 of the original piece.
I added a four-count introduction using “oom-pah-pahs.”
The actual composition is unchanged for the combination.
Be careful not to use the music after m. 16 because it is not in square phrases. I chose to add a repeat after m. 16.

Reactions while playing the combination:
Because there were multiple groups performing this combination, the teacher asked me to have a four-count transition between groups. I ended up needing to play a full 8 counts between groups: 4 counts to change and 4 counts of preparation.
