Hi Guys, I have the original PG Music Prog 'The Pianist which came with Classical Piano 215 Midi Files.
Later about 800 more such files were released but by the time I went to obtain these PG Music had discontinued the whole series including the original prog.
If anybody has the whole series and doesn't use it anymore, I will be happy to purchase the program (or just the midi files) from you for a sensible price.
If you prefer to talk to me outside the PG Music forum my email is ray.kinzler@talktalk.net
Thanks Jim, just contacted the sales team but the files are no longer available directly from PG Music. Maybe somebody here will be able to help me or I might have luck on the web.

If anyone out there has a copy of The Pianist Classic Volume 6 I would be willing to pay top dollar. Volume 6 was only available for a a few months during 2000-2001 before the series was discontinued. I only just recently found out a volume 6 has been released and would like to get ahold of it. It contains mostly early French midis. The midis are numbered 887-1087.
These could be made into a Java GUI or an HTML page that will play the local midi files and read the song/midi number from the text files. These will then work on Mac/Win. I think the pics could be updated, they must be contained in the exe file as I can't see then in the folder.
Here's some updated ones that work on Windows® XP / Vista / 7 / 8 / 8.1 / 10 (32 or 64-bit) Pianist Performance Series Featuring the piano styles of today in over 250 "live-to-MIDI" performances by top contemporary pianists.
@011 Latest Gossip Blues. Against a single-note boogie bass that reaches up to the b7, the county style blues right hand four octaves higher declaims in discreet statements, almost like two old biddies gossiping across the fence. The right hand line becomes more continuous and soon the left hand moves into two-note chords in shuffle rhythm. When the left hand returns to the original pattern, the right hand keeps getting denser-as the gossip get juicier. Level of difficulty: 3. Pianist: Henry Butler. Picture of John Lee Hooker.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
