Playing around in my studio, a working session on this melody about a little Russian girl with a divine voice I composed lately.
The keyboard is a Yamaha P90 stage piano, the piano sound is the VST piano plugin Ivory launched in the Nuendo 3 platform, using the Steinway sound library (to me is perfect for slow, romantic compositions). This plugin sound is outstanding (the good news is that you don't need a real piano to have it, just a computer) although I have found some glitches in the upper notes, specially when keys are hold for a while (nasty digital noise). However, it much worths the few dollars that it costs.
The melody is following a similar modulation structure than 'Romance Anonimo' written for guitar, although the melody and the rhythm are different. The song has a second part, still under development, with a bit more complex chord progression.
Those of you interested in this song and playing keyboards below you have the link for the scores. In this video the real inversions of the arpeggios are not well represented, as in the form I have finally decided to do, but a new video is in its way!
