Brilliant! You are a remarkable "performer" indeed. The ending especially, I thought was absolutely incredible, and I do mean incredible...

Ahhhhh I've always been terrible at crossing rhythms... The ending especially took me off guard, lol! I'd love to hear more playing from you.

My "performance" of Brahms Exercise 1f. Enjoy, and I am eagerly anticipating your comments, especially if you are totally in awe of my stupendous achievement, but otherwise, not so much... Brahms Exercise 1f I did enjoy, and you picked the right spot to post it!

It's weird, but I thought the cross-rhythms were not being played correctly at the beginning. I did too, oddly enough. Part of it may be that the accelerando starts with the very first note, although it's not really all that noticeable, but it is there and is distorting the rhythms just a bit. Thanks to everybody for the kind comments - I worked SO VERY HARD on this. (BTW, if anyone is wondering, the Steinway samples are from the Garriton library that came with Finale 2010, which is what I used for notating the exercise. Finale has a way to do a MIDI-driven tempo change, where you just set the BPM for the start and end points, and it does a smooth transition between them. So I did that, then exported the audio to Sound Forge for the pitch bend and fade, and MP3 conversion.)

Gee, for some reason it won't play for me - I just get the eternal spinning circle.  I can't think of why it wouldn't work, other than a very very slow connection (and maybe sunspots). If you are really curious, you could always try the "Download" option.

Think you're right about the connection. I'm having a better day today. It worked. Awesome Cool. I was wondering if there might be some problem with Box.net.
