Reviews for "A Piano's Testimony"

Very nicely done.

This is my new favorite. Hands down. But I wouldn't call it "Cuban" percussion. Latin is the more correct term. I really like the use of pitzicato (sp) strings and the use of marimba/xylophone (I'm thinking it's marimba because of the timbre) is excellent along with the piano. I don't know about the overtones you hear when you listen, but if this was acoustic, and it very well could be played at like a coffee shop or something, those overtones in all likelyhood would be the natural harmonic notes. That's the best way overtones are explained in live music. One little thing I would add is a djumbe to add a little bit of bass in the percussion. Those pitzicato strings really add to to the piece. This feels like a very well done piece that could easily be done at something like Individual and Ensemble competitions. I know you work really hard on your music and it really shows in this piece.

Gravey responds:

Well I called them Cuban Percs....because that is what they are called in my sample pack. Lol. I didn't label them Cuban personally, that is what they are actually labeled as. But in all honesty, is Cuba part of Latin America? So it is somewhat the same thing I believe. ;-)

There was definitely a marimba used, and pizzicato strings. Good ear my friend, good ear indeed. This was not played on an acoustic exactly. I am using a piano sample pack I bought a while back and am now able to use now that I have a new pc. It is very realistic and is sampled from a real piano, but I did not technically record this on an acoustic piano. Wish I had a piano or I could have, but I lack such a wonderful leisure item.

I'm glad you like the strings. I really agree with how they add a lot to the overall mix. They really bring out some color in this little tune.

Thanks for the great review my friend. :-)

A Beautiful Synthesis of Two Worlds!

I've listened to this song every night for three nights now, and I could not keep myself from reviewing it.

This song takes the power of those drums, and combines with the grace of that piano in a truly harmonious way. The way you upgrade steadily and carry on a powerful duet in such a climactic style, just to finish in such a graceful way is utterly impressive.

This to me, seems to tell a story within itself. Truly Magical in itself.
Excellent Work Gravey

Gravey responds:

Power and grace, just like a 1996 Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo. Mmmmmm...Now THAT is true power and grace. ;-)

Glad you liked the tune my friend. I am happy with how it turned out, and to say the least I'm amazed by how popular it has become with the Newgrounds faithful. Makes me smile to say the least to see so many people enjoying my works.

Thanks for the review.
