Re: [disklavier] Original Artist Music Software

2005-07-16 by Robert Welcyng

For the JSB Well Tempered Clavier, I heartily recommend

Das Wohltemperierte Klavier J. S. BACH performed by Mehmet Okonsar
which you can find on Amazon. �

This complete version comes in a set of 3 CD's. CD #3 contains, among other files, the MIDI files and they play beautifully on a Disklavier.

Hi,
I am not exactly a newboy, but I am astonished that
someone hasn't recorded the great repertoire for the
instrument in complete volumes. Eg Where can I find
the Well Tempered Clavier in its entirety, or the
Chopin Waltzes, Nocturnes, Polonaises, indeed all of
the great works of this composer in complete volumes.
I am gladly willing to pay for these.
Can anyone help me please????

I'm a newbie and was wondering if anyone else is as
frustrated as I 
am at the lack of Original Artist Music Software for
the 
Disklaviers. Could someone explain what the problem is
and why this 
cannot be rectified? Why can't any Artists make money
off of 
Disklavier Software just as they would if they sold a
record?

I am quite disappointed after purchasing my Disklavier
that artists 
like Billy Joel, Elton John, etc. have PianoSoft
titles out but 
performed by some other Pianist who naturally does not
have ANY of 
their style and/or sound. This seems true of the
majority of music 
available for purchase.

Does anyone know if it's possible to convert/format
Commercial Music 
CD's to be able to play the actual piano parts on the
Disklavier?

I understand there are PianoSoft and PianoSmart CD's
available but 
this is also either very limited or using another
"play along" 
pianist's performance with the actual commercial
performance and not 
the real original artist.

The closest I have gotten so far to hearing pure
artistry from my 
Disklavier has been from the "Gershwin plays Gershwin"
Software that 
was actual Piano Rolls performed by him and converted
to Disklavier 
Technology. There must be others???
