Hey guys! I recorded this piece, with live string quartet and and oboeist. It was a blast!
Working with musicians is cool because it gives you so much feedback, and there's always mistakes to learn from.
What I have learnt this time is that if most notes are staccato, and some aren't, they would probably play staccato if not noted.
So, I should really have marked tenuto on the notes that I wanted to lengthen. So on this video they re-recorded the whole piece with my intended articulation.
Also the high notes in bar 32 and 33 for oboe. I thought it would be hard to hit the notes, but it was rather that tuning it would be a bit hard. But she also fixed that in the second take, as you hear in this video.
Otherwise it worked very well. The string quartet even added some crescendo in the first 8 bars, which I liked, but in this second take they kept the dynamics more plain. So that got me thinking, maybe I should try more dynamics from now on.
Thanks for some of the feedback you have given before. This is just for fun, don't want any feedback on this video 😄
