Vltava

I'm using Sibelius 4; whenever I have winds and strings playing at the same time, some of the wind parts are played as string parts (a few of the notes the winds have use the incorrect playback device, on MIDI). Does anyone know how to get the winds to play with the correct device? Edit – Eh, I solved the problem by combining the strings into one channel. Turns out some of the winds were on the same channels as the viola, cello, and bass. Is it possible to have more than 16 channels?

Quite so, but I'm pretty sure Smetana called it Vltava. :huh:

About the left hand dynamics, I had the dynamic as piano, but the crescendos in the right hand applied to the left for some discreet reason. Is there anyone familiar with Sibelius 4 that could help me fix that problem? Oh, and it's a prelude alla Chopin; if you've heard his 24th, it'll be clearer.

Preludes tend not to contain elaborate melodies. When I call a piece intellectually valuable, it means the chord progressions and melodies are complex and lengthy; I would call the music of Britten and Ravel intellectually valuable.

Quick, light, prelude for the virtuosic pianist. Not too valuable intellectually, but a nice listen nonetheless. Prelude.mid Prelude.sib

I'm playing Prokofiev's Sonata for Two Violins in C major, Op. 56, Paganini's 10th and 24th, and Debussy's Violin Sonata in G minor.

I suppose, but mostly, this was an intellectual exercise, testing my counterpoint and modulation techniques, which are quite primitive, I must say. I guess I can bulk this up, scatter some dynamics, etc.

'S a short, sweet, neo-Baroque piece (Bach's two-part inventions, hint, loose ABAC form). My counterpoint isn't perfect, but it's suitable. If you can play this in time, I swear, I'll worship you. Invention.mid

A score would be quite useful, though.

The first movement has a conservative first theme, bold but relaxed. However, modulation and a stronger, more constrasting development would help. Hints of Berlioz and Schubert are sweet. The lyrical second movement is close to flawless. I see a horse at rest, its owner singing a beauteous, flowing melody, then straddling the horse and galloping off, as the second motif says. The lively third movement dances with colour, the dorian flair in the middle mixing a Celtic root admist the spendour. Overall, I enjoyed your work pleasantly, and once you get rid of the terrible .mid, I shall download again.

Exactly what Chris said, but I'm still having alignment trouble. It's like Fantaisie-Impromptu or Chopin's 24th Prelude (runs), but more complex. I can play it along with the midi set at half the speed, but not at full.

First off, I'm not quite sure if this forum is appropriate for my issue, but I failed to another more suitable. Notice the pentuplets in the bass at the bottom, crossing the nontuplets and septuplets (I broke the nines up into five and four). Those are extremely tedious to count. I've tried counting the measure in a slow two, but that begets uneven note values. Advice or suggestions, anyone? By the way, the piece does vary in chords later, rather than the i and V we see here.
