Topic: Sad and beautiful, quite simply (Steinway B Late Evening)

Sad and beautiful, quite simply (Steinway B Late Evening)

Recently I couldn't help thinking of loved ones who had passed away. Music can be a great comfort in times of loss. So here is my piece now with Ptq 8 Pro  ”Steinway B Late Evening”. Five years ago I called it ”Un peu de tristesse”.

I think sometimes music in minor keys can be more beautiful and more emotionally appealing than music in major keys. Music evoke different emotions for almost all of us.

Thank you budo  for liking my playing. I appreciate it. Depending on the music style preset Late Evening is very useful.

Best wishes,

Stig

Hi Stig, very pretty tone and great mood you set. Every time I listen to your Steinway B I have to give it another try, but I don't quite manage to get the presence you are getting for whatever reason. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you ken for kind comment. To get the presence - In this piece I use reverb Room 2. You might try it...

Best wishes,

Stig

Thanks for the hint, I do like it more with the Piano Room 2 reverb. It is definitely a sweeter tone than that Bechstein which I almost always use. Almost good enough to my ears to sway me to using this on my current work in progress, but something about the clarity of the Bechstein in Painoteq that remains my fav.  I will definitely explore the model B more.

Beautiful. I very much like that Late Evening sound and I've tried it with Piano Room 2, as you suggested - great! So I'm going to use it for my (rushed) competition entry - which is going to be in a rather different style to this piece.
