Topic: "Schmaltzy Waltz" (I love setting condition to 0.25!)

Hi, here's my latest piece, "Schmaltzy Waltz", using the Steinway D Chamber Recording preset with condition set to 0.25:

If you'd like to watch the video with a real piano (not mine; really out of tune, too!), here it is:

I've moved to an apartment and left behind my grand piano and upright piano, and all I have left is my keyboard and Pianoteq. I don't feel like I'm missing much. Pianoteq is a beautiful instrument.

Comments and criticism welcome! Enjoy!

P.S. I wonder what Pianoteq "Instrument condition wear and tear" value would be equivalent to a freshly-tuned piano--I'd be surprised if it's 0.00. If that's the case, wouldn't Pianoteq be somewhat unrealistic just because of that one factor? Don't get me wrong, it sounds good with perfect tuning.

That's really nice! Inventive melodic line, nice rhythmic motifs, interesting modulations. Thanks!
