Topic: Way To Go (Pianoteq)

here's a tune i really don't know much about.  i just ran across it in a fakebook and decided to give it a try.  it does have a fun chord progression, though

Good ending with slower tempo and decreasing volume…

Dear budo, you might get tired of me talking about endings, but how you end a piece of music is extremely important when performing. The ending (outro, coda, or finale) is the last thing the listener hears and the one that leaves the most lasting impression of the entire performance.

So, because of your fine endings, that’s one thing that makes me remember your music with joy. .    A well-thought-out ending makes the piece feel complete and professional.

I read somewhere that ”According to the principle of "retroactive inhibition, people tend to remember the beginning and end of an experience best”.

And yes, what about your playing now - You really made the music come alive, as always. It’s the emotional impact, your unique style and the improvisational skill, these are what I highlight now (instead of saying ”good job).

Thank you budo for sharing your music with us.
And once more, in my opinion, having a well-thought-out ending is thus one of the most important parts of performing music, regardless of genre. It’s how I think about it.

All the best,

Stig

thank you so much Stig for listening and for your comments.  your take on the ending of a song is very interesting, i never thought of it that way before.  makes me think i should pay even more attention to the endings

Truly a great job, Budo!
I enjoyed this piece, which I've never heard before, from start to finish.
A great way to start my day!

thank you Carmelo!  probably almost no one has heard this tune before, it's very obscure!  i'm glad you liked it.
