Hmmm interesting...

hmmm very interesting... very intersting .... as a listener in the classical portal for years now I have to say that you sound like a begginning great, if you try hard enough maybe you might be able to match music with Winterwind... just maybe. Anyway to the song. Very good, just a few things:
The sound quality could have been better, perhaps a bit more spark to it, sounds too flat.
The song needs drums. Drums, when done well can carry the song and make it so much better.
some of the solo's were a bit long I think, mostly because they themselves didn't mostly carry the essence of the song, which is a must when soloing.
Apart from those things great job. I enjoyed it.

MusicalRocky responds:

Okay.
I appreciate you're trying to maybe give me some encouragement or whatever. But do you know how demeaning it is to be compared to another artist--"almost as good as so-and-so" or "if you try you can reach so-and-so's level." That's not cool at all.
Personally I think I already am as good as Winter. This concerto is as good as anything he's written in my opinion, and I'm sure he would agree with me. Now of course you disagree. You think Winter is far better. Why? He and I have different styles, it's as simple as that. You like Winter's style better than mine, so you like his music better, even though his and my music are equal in quality.

But all that aside.

I've already been told the sound quality could be better; it's getting a bit redundant. I'm fully aware Edirol isn't close to the sound a real orchestra has. I don't know what you mean by it sounding flat though. I used panning and all sorts of volume to help bring out the mastering of a real orchestra.

Drums?! I really don't know why you think drums are needed. The melodies carry themselves fine. Drums carrying this song would be terrible I think. Even in "battle" songs, drums are not needed. Also, if you meant timpani, I might've put some in, but it was unnecessary in this movement; I used timpani in the 2nd and 3rd mvnts.

I assume by "solos" you're referring to the cadenza? Well the cadenza is suppoed to be long! As for having the song's essence, that doesn't matter at all. Cadenzas are merely for virtuosic purposes--"showing off" for the soloist. :)

But anywaysswyawyys, I'm glad you still found enjoyment, and don't think I just cast aside your advice, cause I didn't.

Thanks for reviewing,

Rocky

Nice song.

Nice song, almost sounds like a Russian jig, or that just me thinking like an idiot. The sound quality could have been a little better.
Overall very good.
BTW I play the cello too :)

MusicalRocky responds:

Yeah some of definitely has some Russian sounding stuff. Of course the sound quality could've been better, unless it was a real orchestra :)

That's cool that you're a cellist. I'm glad you like this movement, thanks for reviewing,

Rocky
