Yes, cool piece !

Why not with the wide preset (maybe with some tweaks) ?

Thanks, hanysz! Much appreciated.

Thanks for the sound advice;
I'm still learning. And I want more piano presence. Any specific fxp's to try?

Nice piece!
For me, the piano sound needs a bit more presence. I think it's mainly about resonance: some combination of sustain pedal and reverb. Especially for the high register, the direct sound from the strings is only a small part of what we hear, and getting the right reverb settings can make quite a difference.

Thanks, budo! This is the third barbaric-ish piano piece I've wriiten since we moved back to the states!

I got the Hyperpiano soundfont from Bill Sethares thru FB back in 2016?? I think?

Yea! I'd really like to see a Pianoteq model of their hyperpiano:

New traditional piano composition, Pazzacaglia for Piano:

https://soundcloud.com/jeff_harrington/...al_sharing

A set of variations on a voice-leading pattern, more of a passacaglia than a variations movement.
Using the Steinway B Gentle piano.

Any comments welcome. This piece will not bite! Score available shortly...
