NOW for a Bit of Beethoven

Post by georginasaint » Wed Dec 03, 2008 1:35 pm

OK guys, I was just testing to see if anybody actually noticed there wasn't a link... so many people say "oh wow, great" but do they ACTUALLY LISTEN... so well done everyone... and now... here is the actual link http://www.taximusic.com/song.php?song_ ... tream=true Slow movement of Beethoven's Pathetique Sonata for piano and I'm thinking of submitting it to this listing: ORCHESTRAL INSTRUMENTALS IN A VARIETY OF STYLES are needed by a Music Publisher who has signed several TAXI artists/writers and has secured dozens of great Film/TV placements. This company has fantastic relationships with music supervisors for TV shows/films on ABC, NBC, the CW, HBO, Disney, MGM, Sony, Fox, Paramount plus many others. This company is in need of a vast range of stylistic approaches/eras and the parameters are wide open for this one, as long as the sounds are authentic and the arrangements/performances are fantastic. Public Domain works will be fine, as well as original compositions. There are no stylistic limitations here, but be sure the tracks are at least two minutes in length and that they are recorded at Broadcast Quality. It isn't necessary for these to be "live" orchestral recordings, but you'll want to be very sure that any synth-generated sounds really present like the real deal. Instrumentals only, please.And just in case you missed it up there because some of you seem to be link-challenged, here it is again...http://www.taximusic.com/song.php?song_ ... tream=true Georgie ( )

well you guys obviously have no sense of dynamics.I'm hearing how the tension is building with the silence at the beginning of this track ... the anticipation is half the battle ...wait for it .... wait ... for ... it ..............

I've told Georgie my "George" story (one of my best girl-friend's name was George, short for Georgeanne) so we've bonded (in kind of a forum sense of the word). Plus she's a sweetie with a good sense of humor so I don't think any of us good-natured kidders (wittingly or unwittingly) is in any danger. Actually I don't even really need to listen since I know how good it's going to be but I couldn't resist giving Georgie a friendly little forum tweak for the missing song link.

Georgie, I'm listening on laptop speakers, so can't give you detailed comments. Overall sound was pretty good here. I did hear several times when the strings didn't seem to have the needed "attack"--they lagged what my ears expected for the note starts. Legato when it seemed marcato was called for.Are you using the same sample(s) throughout?Vince

Hi Vince, thanks for listening. Yes, they are the same articulation as it's mostly legato, but clearly I need to rethink that - just the sort of feedback I'm looking for. Thanks!Georgie
