At the suggestion of several members, I have added some requisite screening questions for newly registering members. Registrants' responses will remain private.

David replied to Gerd Prengel's discussion 'Fantasia Farewell' for Piano
"incidentally, there do not appear to be any pedal markings in the score, though pedal may have been inserted artificially as your audio is often quite reverberant. I have not so far added any to my mock-up although I'm sure a few would be helpful…"

"so here it is. There was no tempo marking on your original file for some reason so I calculated the correct tempo from your audio. I deleted all the MIDI dynamics and just let Dorico create them from the score with its polyphonic dynamic balancing…"

"I can only try, Gerd -- perhaps it won't make much difference. Anyway, it looks like your link is just to a web page and not a file directly as I can't open it. I suspect you should use the file attachment icon here and simply upload the MusicXML…"

"Dear David, I listened to your nocturnos and I like your piano very much, but I cannot quite imagine how that would sound with my piece since our styles are quite different. Would your piano sound really that different than mine? "

Rowy replied to Gerd Prengel's discussion 'Fantasia Farewell' for Piano
"I use Finale too. You can choose a base key velocity in the playback settings. It's best to keep it low. I set it at 72 when the piece needs to sound brilliant and 66 when I want a softer sound. Furthermore, you would benefit from a DAW. In a DAW…"

"Ah, I know of people who generally are quite happy with NotePerformer but avoid the piano. I don't find your Aria piano that bad in tone -- but as things stand, it does seem to lack some expressiveness in places and getting the balance right is…"

"Thank you, Rowy, it is not midi but AriaPlayer from Finale. The left hand partly indeed was too loud and I had reduced it already but apparently this was not sufficient ..."

Gerd Prengel replied to Gerd Prengel's discussion 'Fantasia Farewell' for Piano
"Dear David, no it is not Noteperformer (knowing that its piano sound is rather bad), but AriaPlayer from Finale/GarritanPersonalOrch) which I actually find rather good, but I would be more than grateful if you could do something better with it: --> …"

Rowy replied to David's discussion string quartet no. 13
"That reminds me of something my teacher once said. He was 60 years old, a former prodigy who had written more than 1,000 compositions. He said something like, "You know, I think I'm starting to understand music a bit.""

David replied to Gerd Prengel's discussion 'Fantasia Farewell' for Piano
"I've been accused of spending too much time commenting on renderings as opposed to the music and, as I guess this is done using the far from optimal NotePerfomer piano, I didn't want to say anything specific here. But it certainly did strike me…"

Rowy replied to Gerd Prengel's discussion 'Fantasia Farewell' for Piano
"Hi Gerd,
Is this a MIDI render? If so, the virtual piano isn't doing it justice, and the MIDI could use some editing. I understand that in some phrases the left hand needs to be emphasized, but overall, the left hand is too loud. It overshadows the…"

David replied to Gerd Prengel's discussion 'Fantasia Farewell' for Piano
"I'm glad you've posted an original work for a change rather than working on material by others, however interesting the results sometimes are. And I think the programme of the piece is very clear with the intermittent sf outbursts and clock…"

"At last I've arrived. Dragged out from the ranks of the instantly forgotten composers to the small select group of the hated. You can't imagine what a compliment that is, Rowy! And no, I've never studied any sort of music at an academic level, other…"

  • Indeed, it has been solved. Thanks for the prompt response!
  • HS, I believe I've isolated the HTML issue mentioned, and I believe it's now resolved. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
  • Thanks HS. I'll investigate the matter.
  • Hmm, interesting. I just noticed that replies under the Discussion Forum do allow full HTML capabilities, but replies under Analysis & Critique don't. Maybe this is a section-specific setting that needs to be toggled?
  • It's been a while since somebody wrote something here. So I thought I'd bring up this request to allow links and attachments in comments, not just in posts. It would make it easier to have in-depth discussions without needing to create a new thread every time somebody wants to attach something to illustrate their ideas.
  • ok - that sounds like a good setting so will be interesting to see what the explanation (if any) is.
  • David, puzzling, because the site's settings at present bar members who aren't "friended" from sending private messages. I'll look into it.
  • As newest member Erica Woodward sent a message to at least one member wanting to urgently discuss something privately, it is to suspected that we have another spammer. If I remember correctly, on the old forum, prospective members had to submit a couple of sentences (which weren't posted publicly) explaining why they wanted to join the forum. I suspect spambots and others who are not serious about contributing would fall at this hurdle and I suggest something like this for possible consideration by the membership.
  • It seems the consensus was reaching a crescendo, so I had to dust off the Gold Codes:)
  • Anyone else having issues posting links/embeds in replies? I can't for the life of me get them to work in responding to Rowy's Halloween thread... I just get an error message each time. Seems to work ok posting a new thread?
