I've been happily using Verituner piano tuning software for years. It's expensive, but it gives me tunings as good as, if not better than, what...
Thank you, Kaila. Thanks also for your wonderful website, and finally, for that wonderful account of the opus 14 Waltz.... perfect.
A total digression I know, but piano tuning/regulation/maintenance has become sexy. Steve Brady is a kind of mega-star piano tuner/et. al. guy...
Let-off is soooo important, but very tricky to get exactly the right "feel"!!! I set it too close, first time around. I got occasional...
Palmer advises that Chopin was quite picky about trills (by the accounts of his students) and they "usually begin on the upper note." Unless...
I agree with your assessment. I don't know a professional account of this prelude that I like, except Feinberg's unusual one. All--and I mean...
Just listening to this now. One of the "great" p and f combinations. The recording is professional. A few fingers slipping, but who cares?...
"artificially applied dynamics"? Nope. I recorded this piece on my new piano, which is a little over 7 ft (212 c.) but in a relatively small...
Hesitate to put up YET ANOTHER version, but since it's up at utube, what the heck. This is the same recording, although the mastering is absent...
Actually, I put up an earlier account of the prelude but in a different forum at P.S., about a year ago, I think, which I recorded at my new piano...
Well... if you seriously have the money to contemplate... make that PURCHASE said instrument....????? At that level its really about 1. your...
Yes, heard her play the Goldbergs in Toronto. Correct me if I'm wrong, but she's "risen" in the cut-throat world of solo pianists really because...
Piano sounds freshly tuned. The A Flat Major p and f, book 2, are a terrific combo and you succeed in both, notwithstanding the two wrong notes...
You'll have to purchase either a dehumifier for the room the piano is in; or an air conditioner; or dampp chaser. Best would be airconditioner,...
OK.... using AT4041 Card Mics, here's what I'm starting to think is a fair description of the sound of this piano, which I am starting to...
Apologies for the saccharine account of the prelude. Merely demoing the instrument, and testing out my mics. Listening to Carnevale's Bach,...
New, more accurate recording of my 218: http://www.box.com/s/e17a5a7a621365b8f53d I'm getting better at miking. I continue to ADORE this...
Ditto Jg
Qualification: IF Recorded you are right ... if LIVE you are wrong... that is: ANYONE, even a complete novice, can immediately tell the...
Eddy is absolutely right about splitting up this GV. The fact is that the pro recordings SUFFER from exactly this defect: they sound as if they...
