I suspect the people who ask you to write music for their games beg to differ. I'm not hiding in a shell, there's just been very little activity musically in my 'shell', so there's been little to come out of it for.

Thanks for that. If I judge it from using my ears solely, I'd say the italian 6th works effectively. Your playing sounds good too. It's very baroque, which you stated that it's what you intended. The only thing that I think didn't sound as good is the interval of the first note at bar 6th. The compound minor 6th. But then, I'm only using my ears. If I use my eyes I can see that it resolves to something that sounds better, so I guess that's fine.
I agree that the sul tasto didn't show itself in the recording. Well, better luck next time!
Cheers, and nice piece.  |
Thanks very much for listening and commenting, and I'm glad to have introduced you to the italian 6th - it's a great sound, as are all the augmented 6th chords.
