Topic: Apple Blossom - Robert Caponi

This is an Americana concert piece for solo piano I composed, realized through Logic Pro and the Modartt Steinway Model D physical model. The only signal processing used is stock, “in-the-box” Logic EQ, reverb, and dynamics.

Incredible work Robert! It’s amazing how rich and expressive the Modartt Steinway Model D sounds, especially using just stock Logic Pro plugins. The composition really captures that classic Americana spirit—msterfully written and played!

Thank you! The piece makes extensive use of the una corda pedal, but in PianoTeq I have that dialed back to 31%, so it’s a pretty subtle effect.

Something amusing— the YouTube auto-generated captioning thinks the “lyrics” to this piece are “Heat Heat Heat…” I’ve never had this happen with a piano upload. Maybe it’s something with my customized EQ curve, or the PianoTeq formant structure, that YouTube interprets as the work “heat”!

Working my way through, gotta love The Drunkards Tale. it has a lot of things going on and I could imagine someone stumbling around especially the last 3rd. Great tittle too.
