Topic: Debussy Arabesque No.1

https://youtu.be/Na8vZtkobIU

Tuning: "Vallotti & Young Scale, A=432"
Preset used: all Pianoteq modern pianos

Musically, this is a colorful piece.
So I use a picture of Picasso and tell AI to draw a picture from it.
Together with some musical elements and a piano.
Then we have this colorful picture.

Best wishes

I used to come home from school and relax with this music after working with pupils not focusing.
I love Reverie, Arabesque and Clair de lune. Could you try Clair de lune again with kind of these settings?

This sound in this piece is probably your best so far! Love it. It is delicate, colorful and rich. Listened several times to this one too and found out:

Several very nice sections all over the piece - 1,08 - 1,40 with changing tone color from pp , p.  f    very nice this section. It is like left hand rolls and dreams, right hand is singing. And the bass tones are perfect, nothing wrong there.

1,49 - 1,57 nice color changes here
2,10 - 2,40 the sound, it is the same ”piano” but tone color changes in relation to your nuanced playing - very good
2,51 - 3,09 nice section with good sound on lower tones
ending 3,50 - 5.13   can’t comment it - is so enjoyable, I was in a dream, perfect ending.

Well, you have really come far with this your system. Probably your best sound so far, in my opinion. Congratulation!

Thank you k c Paul!

And therefore I can say that this playing/sound deserve many listens. We all need people that are listening and giving comments. Then we will be inspired to work even more. Please listen to this several times. It's worth it.
Perfect for relaxing.
Thank you k c Paul,

Always my best to you,

Stig

Stig, thank you for your detailed description of my recording.
It helps me a lot and encourages me a lot.
It's interesting that I am already working on Clair de lune.
Hope you will enjoy that later.

Beautiful playing and I am interested to hear the use of Scale and Tuning settings. 

This really makes the piece sound in some way authentic.

I must try some classical pieces on the historic pianos and try different scales and tunings.

I haven't had Pianoteq for long but I am becoming addicted to playing with it.
