I thought this thread had gone the way of most that disappear off the first page... thanks for reviving it!

UltimateMusicalSnob - I try not to limit myself to standard classical music structuring (although a lot of my solo piano pieces are simply A-B-A) so most are probably rhapsodies, impromptus, or some other classical euphemism for 'free-form'. I'm chuffed that you like it and I would _love_ to play it live but as I've only played one concert in 25 years it may have to wait a while ;-)

Frank - thanks, glad you like it!

Daryl - almost a pop tune... well, I thought that myself. There are two ways I'm thinking of developing this, one is with drums, bass, rhythm, and lead guitar - the other is with a beat and multi-layered cellos (a la Piano Guys). Then again, perhaps I'll leave it as it is! Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for listening!

Cheers,
Terry.

The first two minutes remind me of Jon Schmidt.  I've always loved piano duets, since listening to Ferrante & Teicher records when I was a kid.  Having four hands on the piano (or two pianos) makes it sound so much more full and fun.  LOVE the part that starts at 5:30!  :)  This would be SO much fun to play!  Mechanical sounding?! Are you kidding me??!!!  :) 

Anyway, another brilliant piece from you.  When I need inspiration, I often come back to listen to some of your pieces.  

Now that you've played it, you'll have it transcribed, right?  Or is it just plain ol' too much editing, getting the hands in the right staves and all that jazz?

Anyway, so glad I stopped by for a minute.  Wonderful!  :)  Encore! 

 I didn't notice anything missing as a result of playing both parts yourself. Enjoyed the listen and "feel" of this tune. It did seem a little loud  even turned below halfway. I'm no expert in mixing piano music so maybe this is the norm. I think I was expecting a more laid back mix with piano, my expectations could just be wacky. I have a few mixes that are the same way but it's too late to go back and correct them now.

  Great playing!

piano had always been my favorite instrument.  This was just beautiful to listen to!!!  And nice to see a waveform on sound cloud that is not just one big block lol, I like hearing all the dynamic changes in this, wouldn't be the same without them.

Janet - yes, you'd think I'd have it transcribed... but I haven't. I've got all the midi notes split into the 2 players and they're all quantised but splitting each player's left and right hands was a gruelling task. I started it and 4 hours later was only 1 minute into the piece so I stopped.  Lazy? Yes!

Starise - I'm not sure what you mean. I kept the dynamic range as best I could to have the maximum volume at -0.1dB and used a small amount of compression/limiting to make the quietest parts more audible. The piano is such a dynamic instrument and when you've got 4 hands playing the loudest parts together then it is going to get loud! Really glad you enjoyed the music though regardless of volume!

ATS - thanks! Glad you enjoyed the music and the dynamic range!
