Shigeki,
Absolutely beautiful, a lovely transition from Classical to Rock. I would pay to sit in an auditorium and listen to you perform that.
time for another listen

I like a bit of Mozart, yes. But I like Shigeki Adachi more!
This is beautiful.
The mix is excellent. The orchestration is excellent. Love the staccato strings. The flute is wonderfully delicate. The piano plays nicely against the orchestra.
This is an "ear delight". So well done that I am hearing each part separately - and as a whole - at the same time. That is impressive!
One of the best instrumentals I've heard on this forum. Worth many listens.
Superb!

Hey this sounds great! Really sounds like a Mozart-inspired film score piece.
Extremely well produced.
Great job!

Shigeki,
I echo the praise from other listeners - this is very, very well done!
The band coming in was a happy surprise and the arrangement just got better from there.
Excellent work.

Alyn Shigeki, I don't think I've heard anything by Mozart that I like this much. I hear some Bach (who I like better). This is WONDERFUL!!! Take care. Greg

Hello, Angelo, Alyn, Charlie, Dani, floyd, David, Robert, Donny, Kenny, Greg and Peter
Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment.
I am very glad to hear your kind comments and very happy you like this composition.
I have loved classic music from my childhood.
I also like Bach best like Dani and Greg.
And I like to copy their each style.
I think Bach is more fitted to Jazz, on the other hand Mozart is more fitted to Rock.
I surely would like to post my song with Bach's style next time.
Best Regards.
Shigeki Adachi

As floyd said "One of the best instrumentals I've heard on this forum. Worth many listens."
We agree. It is stellar. The arrangement is outstanding and you really mixed it well. Every
instrument sits in so well. There's a lot happening but nothing gets in the way of the other.
It just sparkles on our monitors.
Excellent!

Hello, John and Janice & Bud
Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment.
I am very happy you like this composition.
Melody often comes when I go for a walk (usually 2 bars), and I always use piano to develop it.
This tune was also made like that.
And it is always a big fun to search BIAB styles fitted to it.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

Hi Shigeki Adachi,
You've really excelled yourself with this creation. The composition takes musical invention to whole new heights! I agree with floyd... this is one of the best 'instrumental + arrangement' that I've heard on here.
In ways that are uniquely Shigeki Adachi, you have skillfully captured the essence of Mozart. In addition, you have capitalised on those signature appogiaturas that are liberally sprinkled throughout Mozart's melodies.
Very impressive in every way!
Regards,
Noel
P.S. You've inspired me to try my hand at using BIAB to arrange something by Mozart.
