Here's a solo piano neo-classical work that I recently completed. You might hear some pop music influences in this. A slight diversion from my recent output.
I'm using the Garritan CFX Concert Grand.

A simple, effective bit of pop / light classical piano...works very well overall.
The only moments that grated on my ear were when you add that 7th note in the bass and then it didn't descend further as expected...obviously rules are there to be broken, but in this straightforward harmonic context I just wanted it to go there every time.

melodic-ly rich. i think the note volumes are alittle too similar.
not sure if its from compression bringing up the quiet ones
up with the louder ones. whichever, IMO it would sound more natural
with more volume variance and dynamic range to them. enjoyed regardless

Yes that missing 7th note stuck out like a sore thumb in this instance so I removed it. Either it has to do with the CFX Grand Piano or the sampling. A little bump in the road on a pleasant ride.

I’m glad you liked it experimental. crow.experimental.crow wrote:i liked this one ...

The verb was a piano recital hall in EW Spaces. Yes, not exactly front row seats.

Thanks for the comments and appreciation lazer. I didn’t spend too much time adjusting individual note volumes or sections after playing it in. I’m a little rusty with the piano playing and the Garritan CFX Concert Grand is a pretty dynamic(touchy)virtual piano.

Listening to what I assume is the updated version and I enjoyed this, on the whole. It was nice, light and elegantly done.

Easy listening in the literal sense. Very easy to listen to.
