Greetings.  I am looking for some downloadable MIDI files that I would describe as background, piano only selections.  Need them soft and quiet as to be able to talk over them.   Have a baby grand that is just too loud most of the selections, therefore, can’t really enjoy it.  Professional technicians have quieted it as much as possible and I’ve already stuffed foam against the back of the soundboard.  I’m wired in to my computer.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 
Thanks,
Dan

you should be able to turn the volume down if you just want background. 
personally, i like to "listen" to music or not bother to have it there 
at all. you can also reprocess all your files to play softer using a 
variety of programs. i wrote one called midimod2 that allows you to 
create "presets" to modify loudness and then to apply this modification 
to all files in a folder. you could, for example make a background set 
of music as soft as you want. you can find the program at the download 
page of my web site.
http://spencerserolls.com/Files4Download.html you can contact me 
directly if you need any help with the program.
