Doug Lauber replied to Jage Halperin's discussion First Professional Recording!"Wow- what a difference a change in tempo can make. No comparison. Mr. Finney's new version rids the piece of a monotonous plodding feeling and makes it lighter, more airy. I like it a lot now. :)"
Jage Halperin replied to Jage Halperin's discussion First Professional Recording!"Mr. Finney had the idea that it might sound better at a much faster clip than I originally wrote...this is what he sent me ths morning. What do you think?"

These are just his initial run-through, but…See More

Hi again, composers!

Thanks again, Zach.
