September 22, 200817 yr The sarabande started as a fast Central American dance. It later evolved into a slower dance in triple meter with a distinctive rhythm involving a quarter-none, half-note alternation. At first it was banned for obscenity in Spain (1583). Here is my attempt at one. Once again, I am looking for something playable by an older child with a few years of piano with modest ability. Sarabande#2.mid Sarabande#2.pdf
September 22, 200817 yr You know, I really like this piece, and I normally hate basic midi so I can tell you've got something good here, but it felt a little too short to me on my first listen, I really wanted a little more development, specifically right near the ending. I think the way you repeat the intro by transitioning with a pause was a little weak, and also I think that instead of simply repeating the intro note for note at the end it could have been improved by a few simple adjustments, maybe making the melody ascend a little more. All in all though I think it's really good!:)
