This song I recorded on The Tyros2 hardrive. I used the epic ballad style and the jazz accordion and also added the french musette accordion.

I hope you like it.

Hi,

Very nice piece.

Please allow me to say one negative remark regarding the style you used

What I didn't like was the constant creschendo of the strings (you maybe used slow strings). In reality no one plays like that. I wonder what was the purpose Yamaha thought if this voice.

Regards,
George

I enjoyed it thanks.

Ahhh, it makes me long for the mother country.

Very nice job, Ray.

If you have never been, make the reservations NOW !!! .. Italy is the most AMAZING place I've ever been to ...

Hopefully, once I get past a 'blip' I'm having with ACID 5, I will record a song I first heard in Italy ...

Nice recording Ray.

Hi Ray,

In a recent post on this formu I asked abt T2 accordion sounds. NOW I KNOW!

From a struggling accordionist I think your recording sounds great.

Nicely done,
Don

Ray, nicely performed. Thanks for sharing yet another classic. - Scott

Sorry to trigger such a flood of emotion there..LOL, a visit is on my life to-do list.

I have to get those darn kids out of college first.

Ray,
thank you for recording this beautiful song by Nino Rota.
I enjoyed your rendition and have just a little suggestion: to me the string patch you choose for the left hand sounds a bit too "heavy"; if I were to record this song, would choose a vocal sound (like a Hmmm choir) or maybe an Hammond patch.
Just my opinion, of course.

Nice work!

Enjoyed the song Ray

I like to thank everyone for their compliments.

Some of you commented about the string patch making a crescendo or heavy type of sound. I will agree with that observation and will refrain from using that sound for this type of song.

The song was just an experiment to hear how the accordion sounds. I was more concerned with finding the right accordion sound and didn't worry to much about the left hand sound. The sound that I used for the strings was called Movie Strings and that was the first time I ever used it.
