This is indeed a beautiful piece of music. As you and william indicated so eloquently and with precise and an educated fervent. If i may add that whenever william does give his opinion it is always right on the money, but whenever one tries to re adjust those mixes, they seem to always never fit quiet right as the original mix. Maybe being as one starts an atmosphere and has to go with it all the way to the end by its sensual realistic mix. I don't know, it just seems that the original has so much time and effort spent from the beginning that to re-mix something is as using a good capture with a microphone from the beginning and out performs having to re fix a bad capture. The same with phillips Bach's flute concerto, william suggested to set it back some, and rightfully so of-course, but it wouldn't quiet fall in the pocket as if it was from the beginning mixed in that perspective just the same. Anyway, having said all that, these pieces of music keep me coming back to this forum and just keep one's everyday life all worth it. from any mix. At this point any of us would give anything if we had written anything of this magnitude and professionalism. Not that no one can do it, but it takes all that much of living the previous lifetime and falling through those cracks.
Also, if i may add, the brisk simplicity in which is so describes Scarlatti, and rightfully so is in comp-arising to Rameau's level i suppose. But only in comparison to Bach, Beethoven and the rest. These masters that came before anyone else are a handfulhandfull that are in a league all of their own. The premature keyboard instruments they had at the time in return gave us the advanced orchestral arrangements to follow, rich in contexts and detail and aesthetically highly experienced and correct as you eluded. What a treasure to reach for.
Having said all that again, This should have gotten Ericos corpuscles to boil somewhere at this point. For i might have stepped somewhere on his suggestive commandments:
Criminal Over-Doubling, Notation: Yes! It was meant for Musicians, How to Compose without Electricity (not for the fainthearted), Composition vs. Con-position (aka Organic Growth vs. Crazy Glue), The Unbearable Lightness of Being Hans, The Incalculable Difference Between Actual Composition/Orchestration Lessons at College or Privately vs. Compostition/Orkestration Online "Courses" for the Deaf/Blind, Composters or Orchestrators: Who Actually Deserves the Music Credit Today? P.T.Burnam's Circus Bluetooth-Mouse and Compostitional Techniques for the 21st Century of Great Music.
Hilarious and in its class all on its own. lol
Do we give credit were its due anymore?
If i had it my way, i would just buy me a computer, buy samples, make noises with it. paste it all together. create a market to say. Yes you can do it. listen, its car horns honking and hot air blasting from the rear end. Anyone can do this, therefore buy the cd. And tell all your friends, when they buy the cd then its a million dollar market as opossed to one or two falling through the cracks. I tell you, its a mega multi market. Yes you can do it too. Oh and turn it up loud at the trafic jams and the trafic lights, stop signs, cross intersections. Turn it up, yes you can do it too. 350 million people buying the cd. Everyone falls through the cracks... Go to your nearest dealer and buy the computer and samples and be somebody. Do not let any of those old funny named composers scare you. This is the real world we live in..
My oxycodone's are starting to wear off ... time to take some more ...
