Kashmir (Led Zeppelin)
Kashmir (Led Zeppelin)
Zeppelin's favorite song originally played with an Indian string orchestra. Has an incredibly driving ostinato and a tremendous buildup. This arrangement was a collaboration between Maximoff and Reed.
I had been struggling with this piece for over a decade. Our cellist, John Reed, became tired of asking me to finish this piece so he graciously offered to help. His major additions, suggestions and reworkings are truly appreciated without which you would not be reading this. Keep the tension by holding back and playing ultra-steady. Varied dynamics will enhance interest and by all means play as marked, greasy.
Arranged by Richard Maximoff and John Reed
