Thread Name: Software to compose like the masters
Subject: RE: BS: Software to compose like the masters
Thanks, Ivor, obscurity is the word for it, even though, as I say, we have had some successes. At the moment, I only have two of his piano compositions online and the quality of sound leaves a lot to be desired. (Note to self: MUST get digital recordings uploaded, etc!) Anyway, you can hear their rather muffled, pre-digital recordings, as played by the composer at this spot. He used to get standing ovations when playing Mozart, as he does with his own stuff, and gave up a world-class pianist career offered to him when a teenager in favour of composing. In those days they had no classes at university on marketing, the business side of it, etc.:-)
