Orchestrating a Piece with only FOUR notes

Orchestration can seem daunting. There can be too many possibilities, and there are a lot of instruments to keep up with. Today we're studying Ligeti's Ricercata III - looking at how he took a piece for solo piano, and orchestrated it for woodwind quintet (flute, oboe, clarinet, horn, and bassoon).

Just getting into orchestration and this is really useful, thank you so much. Don't know if I'll ever be good but at least I'll be having fun

Very helpful to this budding composer. (Actually, I've been writing songs all my life but am just now learning about arranging them, and this was enlightening. Will need to listen to both versions of this piece.)
