Reviews for Long Story Told Short

[Haggard]

Sounds good

Well, the pianos sound pretty good here. And I like the "story" you are telling with them, it sounds very interesting.

I also like how both pianos have something to "say" in this track. Maybe the darker piano is a bit too loud for the other piano, but that's how life goes. The sad/cruel/evil stories are heard and the happy/cheerful stories are overlooked.

Only thing that bothers me is the long silence at the end. Is there no way to edit it out? Audacity is a good way to edit sound files, for example.

Hey thanks for the review! Not long time ago, I found out that there is a way. Well it's too late now, if I shouldn't delete this and upload a new version, which I won't.

Interesting duet

Ah, the clash of two parts of the piano played alongside one another. Could this possibly be played on the same piano at the same time? Or is it a more modern duet that is played by two people on two pianos?

I like the way that the clash compliments the piece. Perhaps a change of instrument would be a more "disturbing" change - have you considered changing the lighter parts for a harpsichord? That could add a little flair to the piece and give you some other area of contrast.

Yes, I understand the concept is to tell the story short, but perhaps a minute longer for the track wouldn't make that much of a difference to the overall impression that the piece gives.

Yeah maybe another instrument would be nice. I am not sure it can be played with two hands on a piano... gotta try to learn my song on piano! And yes perhaps it should be longer. Anyway it's not short because it should be a short story. It's pretty much because I felt I had used all "prospects" of the melody.. idk how to put it. Anyway, thanks for your review!
