"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? "
"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 ..."
"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: --> …"
"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.""
"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…"
"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…"

"I never know what I'm doing until I finish a piece and often not even then......."
"My world is crumbling down thanks to you, but I forgive you. You probably didn't know what you were doing "
"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…"
a piece for Piano which in its intial stages I had brought up here before, but now I feel it is finished: https://youtu.be/ekqplpNC0oA which I haA piece of parting from someone you love - it contains some of the most temder passages I ever wrote - …
"I've read that you're a self-taught composer. I always said that no self-taught composer would reach such a high level and you repeatedly proved me wrong. I hate you.
You must have studied music at a higher level. Come on, be honest, perhaps you…"

"the last movement of my 12th seems to have had perhaps the most positive feedback of any of my works to date but I'm glad you seem to enjoy my latest and I much appreciate the comments. I know my harmonies can confuse those who approach my music…"
