  • Beautiful programing Jay! Your ear is in sync with what you do. Congratulation!

  • I just realized from that last post I'd better supply my credentials.

  • Hahahaha, William: you really are a wit. Hahahaha; excellent stuff.

  • Jay, how did you find programming Ravel with all the infinite details as oppose to other composers? Was it more difficult?

  • Fine, fine work, BTW, Jay. Beautiful realisation.

  • Very pretty, very pretty, very pretty. Great sound.

    I am extremely interested in the colors of the orchestra and Ravel is perhaps the supreme colorist. So while it was a ton of work, it was mostly a pleasure. If anything it was perhaps easier since Ravel can achieve (as William notes) so much more with so much less. But I am cursed with the desire to make each performance more expressive than the previous, to wring an extra drop of emotion out of the cold hard samples. So each piece often takes more attention to detail than the previous. But I'm hooked on the challenge. If it ever becomes too easy, I'll probably lose interest. [:D]

    Best,

  • Helo Jay,
    Thanks for sharing your talent..Sometimes ago I posted a topic about a passage of Ravel's works I can't reproduce..so if you have some advice?!!

    Is that possible to do the effect of harmonics like in the sonata for violin and cello from Ravel:
    It's on the second part ( très vif) section 5 in 3/8 ( on my record it's at 35s from the beginning of this mvt. The harmonics on three strings of the cello.
    I tried but I can't reproduce it , it doesn't do a beautiful background!
    I upload the music passage and the scan of my partion (also the exept) at this adress:

    Could be great to have an answer from a specialist or a lot of specialists

    Best regards
    Dup

  • BRAVO! Jay... and VSL! (...and Ravel, of course!)
