Topic: Pianoteq Workout

I was browsing my collection of classical piano music files (hadn't listened to all of them), and came across an interesting arrangement of Mozart's Turkish March.

It sure isn't like the version we had in our piano books!!  Almost reminds me of Horowitz's version of Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No.2.  Plenty of high notes and some interesting harmonies.

It will give Pianoteq and your computer a good workout.

When in this site, click on "T" in the alphabetical listings and look for Amy Toscano.  This was recorded during the competition round.

This young lady has some obvious skills.

Re: Pianoteq Workout

Thanks for this Glenn! First of all, I wasn't aware of the site. A fine place to peruse complex (piano) MIDI files. I was commissioned to write a piece for the Disklavier about 15 years ago. I processed the MIDI output in a bunch of ways and brought it back into the piano. Suddenly lots of notes : ) I'm  going to re-do it with the Pianoteq later this year.

The particular piece you pointed to is a great little test for performance settings. Didn't work too well with my original setting of 48K  64 samples and no multi-core lol. I'll play around and see what (minimum) combos of settings still allow me to play it. thanks again.

Ah, Volodos (the transcriber) doing his best Godowsky impression.  Souped up the ol' familiar piano warhorse a bit, he has!
