Topic: Waltzin (Pianoteq)

here's a very nice tune from the book that certainly doesn't get a lot of love: Victor Brasil's "Waltzin." the progression borrows heavily from another famous tune, at least through the first 16 bars, but still it does its own thing.

This time, to me, this is just beautiful, excluding all other things, its beauty is pure and overwhelming.

When I listened, at the beginning of your soft playing, I immediately remembered my wife when we first met, and we were dancing far out in the country on a small island in a river on a Saturday night. From the next day we started dating and the rest is, as they say, history    
Together 56 years now.

Thank you budo.

Best wishes,

Stig

All the things are swingy and delicate. Nice ! Did I hear the Steinway B Gentle ?

thank you for listening!  yes i believe you are correct that it was the B gentle preset (with some tweaks).  i really like that one.  and you got the progression right
