(icherpillod@urbanet.ch / ohne Homepage)Dear Mr Krueger
Your recordings are great. I've just listened to some pieces (some Brahms, Chopin and Rachmaninov)and I consider that both the interpretation and the quality of sound are among the best for this kind of media. I have bookmarked your site!
Thanks for providing us the possibility to (re-)discover many piano pieces!

Mit der rechten Maustaste und "speichern unter" bzw. "Save as" lassen sich die Midi Files downloaden.

(rmjc@datarecall.net / ohne Homepage)Thank you so much for sharing your gifts and talent with all of us! I would request you consider American Charles Ives, in particular "The Alcotts" movement from his piano sonata No. 2 "Concord". I have written a play about the "last southern gentleman" who spent a lifetime trying to save his ancestral plantation home and am developing a web site to publicize the play. I would like to use two of your Chopin Preludes (No.s 8 & 9), with proper credit, of course, and a link to your site.

(prodserv@boltnail.com / ohne Homepage)Hello and thank you
Your website was the first I came across from the warm heart of Africa when wanting to try out my new sound card; I was lucky; I particularly enjoyed Schumann's Opus 15 Scenes from Childhood. Having now seen what the rest of the world has to offer in midi files, I shall return to your site more often and look forward to the possible reinstatement of Chopin's piano concerto No.1 ?

Simon Carter
(simon.carter@legend.co.uk / ohne Homepage)These MIDI files are quite remarkable given the medium that you are working in. If you haven't already heard them on the Soundblaster Live with the ambiance set to 'arena' I suggest you do so. This is as close to a live piano recital as I've ever heard.

I found your site quite wonderful! Understandably some people will not appreciate the music without the subtle nuances that are evident in an actual live piano recital. That being said, I realize that to achieve those dynamics in this kind of a medium is extremely difficult and I applaud your efforts to bring classical piano music to this kind of site!

(bkrueger@csi.com / http://piano-midi.com)Answer to Mr. Quingge Shi
Usually I use 2 tracks: One for the right and one for the left hand. Only in special cases I use more tracks, for instance in Chopin's Prelude No. 8. The right hand plays the main melody as well as a accompaniment. The emphasis of the main figure is much easier done in a separate track.

only one question:why 3 tracks(even more) showing after transcribing your pure piano solo MIDI-FILE ? It will be very good if the notation is similar with which I buy from shop. I think that Excellent pieces...particularly liked "3rd Moments Musicaux by Schubert" and "zwerge by griege"

Do you, by any chance, have "Rhapsody on a Theme of Pagianini" by Sergej Rachmaninoff. It is my favourite piece, and I'd love to put! it on my home page. If you do have it, would you share it? If not, thanks again for this wonderful visit. I'll stop by again. Moira

Bernd Krueger
(BKrueger@compuserve.com / http://ourworld.compuserve.com/Homepages/Bkrueger/)Dear visitor of my site,
as I have noticed, not all people are pleased by my work. I am concerned about this and want to remark the following:
I am creating my Midi-Files by step-sequencing and spend much time to adjust velocity, dynamics and te! mpo. However, it is not possible to reach dynamics and interpretation of CD-recordings or realtime-sequenced Midi-Files. For all that I try to create sequences that doesn't sound monotonous or synthetically. Several people have said, that I have done a good! work.
Chopin's piano concerto No. 1 was one of my first works and indeed not optimal, because in the beginning I had not much experience. Therefore I have removed it from my archive.
I want to emphasize, that I am neither a professional musician nor ! a pianist. It's my great love to classical music, which causes me to do this.
Your opinion about my sequences is very appreciated.Bernd Krueger

(dss@po.cwru.edu / http://www.geocities.com/Vienna/3275)Dear Mr. Krueger,
I just visited your page
(http://ourworld.compuserve.com/Homepages/Bkrueger/)
and was impressed at the projects you've undertaken. However, I have
several reservations about your sequences. I always bore a grudge
towa! rds you because you posted a sequence of the Chopin 1st piano
concerto which (I'm sorry to say) was suboptimal, with frequent wrong
notes (both in the orchestra and piano), incorrect tempo and
characteristically "unpianistic" step-sequencing. I thi! nk that in
general with the piano repertoire that you are tackling it's much better
to play them live (as with Oguri and Robert Finley), simply because you
cannot get all the "intensity" and pianistic figurations played
correctly, nor can you ge! t the required rubato and pedalling which
cannot be mimicked by step-sequencing. Even with your new piece, La
Campanella, and the Bach Well-Tempered Klavier preludes and fugues, the
virtuosity and notes are noth! ing if not played with some rubato, change
in volume, and correct articulation. (There is a sequence of the piece
played live on the CMC.) I'm sure that sequencing gives you great
pleasure (as it does for me), but I'm not so sure that all your
l! isteners agree.
I realize that the above are strong words, and hope that you will
compare your sequencing technique with those of Dr. Lubetsky and Robert
Finley, and aim to compare your sequences with what the music sounds
like when played live!

Hallo Lars,
ich spiele meine Stücke überhaupt nicht ein, sondern editiere sie direkt im Midi-Sequenzer "Cakewalk pro Audio". Danach treibe ich allerdings erheblichen Aufwand, damit sie nicht synthetisch klingen - am meist! en arbeite ich an der Tempokurve. Cakewalk bietet die Möglichkeit, die Lautstärke der Töne sowie das Tempo graphisch zu bearbeiten. Die meisten Ersteller von Midi-Sequenzen scheuen diesen Aufwand und dementsprechend schlecht sind auch die Ergebnisse - oder ! sie sind hervorragende Pianisten und machen "realtime"-Aufnahmen, wie z.B. Robert Finley. Ich selber bin kein Pianist und möchte hochwertige Sequenzen auf diese Weise erstellen.Bis dann

Endlich mal eine Site mit klassischen MIDI-Files, die - so mein erster Eindruck am PC - nicht so synthetisch klingen wie viele andere. Ich werde sie aber auch noch am Keyboard ausprobieren.
Meine Frage aber: Da Du ja wahrscheinlich (?) nicht! alle diese Stücke selbst am Keyboard fehlerfrei eingespielt hast... - welche Nachbearbeitungssoftware benutzt Du oder kannst Du empfehlen?Ciao,
