Sure. Here's the whole thing, so you can go back and hear the earlier movements if you are interested.

EDIT: for some reason it doesn't start in the right place even though it's in the link as per standard YouTube practice.
You need to start at 7:50 for Aquarium.

Obviously too much for two hands - but I wasn't expecting to play it live, I wanted to break it down to understand it better.
Originally written for strings, 2 pianos, flute and a glass harmonica, which is something worth a look at in it's own right! I 'm going to make a separate post on that so as not to deviate too much from this thread. Here's the link: nord-user-samples-nsmp-samples-f14/glas ... t8164.html

Too much for me!

I always liked 'le cigne' but thought it was just one piano plus cello, so go figure!

Anyway thanks
