I physically can't listen to the whole mass in B minor. The orchestration is very lush and I'm very autistic, so it's physically painful to listen to. However, I love the melodies and I would love to be able to listen to it all. Do you know of a version with reduced orchestration, whether it be a piano reduction or an arrangement for a chamber ensemble ? There's plenty of piano only covers, however I'm searching for a version that keeps all (or at least even one !) of the vocal lines from the original. Thanks in advance.
