robotmay Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Finally got around to recording this tune of Paul Sartin's that I transcribed something like a year ago. I never could get it sounding good on the melodeon, as it's really a very pretty fiddle tune and requires a bit more smoothness than I could give it. However it works much better on the Maccann duet, so here it is in C on my Bb duet (nice key for it actually): https://soundcloud.com/robotmay/princess-waltz I've been trying to learn the chords for the most easily playable keys, and I think I'm finally getting the hang of some of them Also got a new microphone setup over the winter, so this was a good excuse to play around with that too. Think it's picking up a bit of noise from the PC nearby so I might have to play with positioning for recording a bit more, but it's a nice step up from the naff little mic I was using before.

John Adey Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 That is beautiful! I love your subtle dynamics; so expressive!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robotmay Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 Thanks John! I spent quite a lot of time playing it along to the Faustus recording to try and get the phrasing vaguely correct. Think I'm still playing it a little faster than they do; playing slowly is really tricky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Molkentin Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 playing slowly is really tricky Yes, but your quite advanced (not just) in this respect Robert - lovely take! Best wishes - Wolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
