Hello, Q,
I join those who preceded me in congratulating you for a lovely and well
executed piece. Romantic? Definitely, and in more than period! I find
the piece very melancholic, but beautiful; much the same way I feel
about some Chopin.
But... well... I just don't dig this piano sound... Maybe it's the
sample, or the way you EQ'ed it, but it sounds stuffed with cotton to me
and just doesn't come alive, neither in my monitors nor in my
headphones. Also, I think a nice room reverb would have complimented
this piece beautifully.
Keep posting!
Cheers,
S.M.

Hi
Here's a short piano piece that I've written (I haven't come up with
a suitable title as yet). It was recorded and mixed in Ardour.

I just wish I could play it more to my satisfaction, with better
control of the dynamics -- my left-handedness really gets in the way
of an even balance. But it's most of the way there and I eventually
did a take without hitting a wrong note, so I'm fairly satisfied.
I started writing it almost exactly three years ago. I delved back
into it a bit in the winter of 2010 and then picked it up again a
few months ago and after a concerted effort and a lot of work have
finally managed to complete it.
Comments welcome. Enjoy.
Q
