The performance sounds as though it is a midi file whose notes were step-entered, or was created by scanning the sheet music into a musical notation program (such as an older version of Finale) and then "playing" the resultant standard midi file and rendering the audio through a program such as Hauptwerk.

Hello Joe!
Thank you for your interesting answer, and your solid arguments that explain your opinion about my performance. . Compared to me you are a master, a musician, and I admire your playing (many demos) and your opinions in this forum. I’m just an amateur, an old retired school teacher, for many years already, that began to play again 2013 when I found Pianoteq (and now Organteq).
Well, I don’t understand step enter, scanning sheet notation program finale?, render audio and such things. I’m just playing.
Here is how I did Fuge: I have Organteq in Garageband, DAW, in Mac Mini, late 2014. I play/record on track 1. I don’t have pedalboard yet, (try to afford one, and a two better keyboards some day), so on track 2 I use ”one keyboard split” and play bass with left hand afterwards, as take two. In this piece I couldn’t play as fast I wanted for the piece, so I had to increase the tempo in the DAW a bit.
I think that A) increasing tempo + B) the fact that I have very difficult to keep rhyhm (my teacher said when young, I will never be a player, anything…so I sad stopped and didnt play for years) are probably the reasons for your feeling about the music and performance.
Thank you for comment, critic is always welcome. I continue to play and try to be better. It is never too late to improve - Rubinstein gave his last concert at 89, blind! I don’t have so much time left but I love Pianoteq and Organteq. And, I never buy Hauptwerk, it’s sampled.(although sound good….)
How do you use to say,
Cheers,
Stig
