"Actually, if you want a stately sound, maybe you could consider writing full 4-part counterpoint. Recently I discovered in my own experiments that 4-part counterpoint, especially strict 4-part counterpoint, somehow automatically imparts a feeling of…"
"Maybe contact Kris, the site admin, about changing the default font size?

"I agree with what Raymond suggests: use less block chords for the piano part, break some of them up into pianistic figurations like arpeggios or bass interspersed with chords. Or have the right hand occasionally double one of the melody lines of…"
"Your insistence piqued my curiosity enough to start a little sleuthing of my own. Probably also against my better judgment, but the result was interesting, to say the least.
I had recently just finished an order with another Fiverr pianist (whom I…"

"What device are you using to access the site, and what screen resolution?"
"Hi Raymond, thank you for listening! I'm flattered that you think so highly of this fugue... it is one of my earliest "successful" fugues, after the previous one I wrote got panned (probably rightly so) for its many beginner flaws. This one also…"
"Your insistence is paying off, I'm starting to question myself too about Polina's purported playing. :-P
The reason I pointed out the missed accidentals, and noted that the mistake was never with the pitch class, just the accidental, was actually…"

"I'm on the fence, actually. David's version has the dynamic curves I wanted, so it's closer to my original intentions. But it does have noticeable artifacts in a few places. Polina's version, possible manipulation aside, has the nice quality of…"
"Haha, this is probably partly my fault -- I did ask David for a rendering in a concert-hall type space. So it's more like comparing apples and oranges."
"You seem quite dead set on this issue. ;-)
Now, since you have gone to such lengths to prove your point, let me provide some, shall we say, counterpoint? :-P Not that I'm siding with Polina or anything, but I wanted to provide more information so…"

"Oh dear, I seem to be on a streak of self-embarrassment here. Didn't even realize that it was a clarinet part, not voice.
Just looked over it again; the only thing I'd note is that the low register of the clarinet may not be as strong when…"

"I didn't look at it in detail, but from a cursory glance over the piano part I didn't see anything obviously unplayable. In fact it looks like it would be quite simple for an experienced pianist to perform. (Definitely an order of magnitude simpler…"
"Added recording by Ukrainian pianist Hanna Horokhova. Let me know what you think!"
"If I were to write something representing a society of secret agents, I'd have the tempo a bit faster than you have here, with a stronger rhythm from the percussion, representing the heart-pumping excitement of infiltrating a secret society. What…"
"I'm also constricted by the soundfont technology of a bygone era in my own orchestral works, so I fully sympathize with this situation. :-)
Having said that, though, my standard advice is to write two separate scores: a "proper" score representing…"

"In fact, I haven't heard about Switched On Bach until you mentioned it. Wow! Brings back lots of old memories about the first Bach I've ever heard -- the minuets, the musette. Now I'm wondering what it would sound like if I set one of my fugues to…"
