Free Toccata (Grand Piano)

Audio Recording 1135, recorded on september 20, 2011

This has to be be my weirdest piece to date. Totally going for the sound of the (albeit virtual) piano's, I went for the bass notes and staccato playstyle. Freely hammering away I played for 7+ minutes. Also recorded the midi. Which was a good thing because halfway during play I was interupted by a phonecall from my daughter. With one hand on the phone and the other on the keys I said 'I am busy playing' and hung up. Finished playing. Checked the midi recording and deleted those 4 bars of 'phone call interuption'. Ran the edited midi through the VSTi grand pianos again, but now on 132% speed and voila ... You have been warned ... Free Toccata.

It's a bit of a gamble to play this, record it and put it online. Because there is a fine line between 'good' music and chaotic nonsense and I sure was walking that fine line:)

Enjoy:)

@classicUG Not for free use. I'm planning to do a new version based on the recorded midi. And eventually I might also do a score.

@maxqubit Does classified mean that you don't write out scores or that you don't release any freely? I am actually not sure what you mean.

@classicUG The midi is 'classified' ... but if you can decipher the sound note by note you are free to do so

I listed to the whole thing and I don't think its weird at all. I tried to post a response of my keyrig49 playing with an organ sound.

Did you say you wrote out 'Qubit' or something you did in D minor. You think you could send midi/music/whatever so I can read through some of it?

I don't have any piano scores I've written myself since all I have put on the computer so far keep getting messed up with viruses or hard drive failures. AArgh...!
