Скачать или смотреть Sailing (Modified Version) by Bethany Robinson - Modifications by Hans Roosenschoon

This is a different version of my original composition, "Sailing," which has been modified by South African composer and professor of music, Hans Roosenschoon. This is not a performance of the piece, but rather a software generated audio from the sheet music.

At first, I was unsure whether I would like the piece with modifications -- I wondered if it would still feel like my piece -- but the changes that Prof Roosenschoon made were small in reality, while still adding quite a lot of depth and interest that the piece did not have before. Simple things like adding variations in rhythm and dynamics, and rearranging the order of the baseline notes (while not going out of key) every so often made all the difference here. I certainly think I've learnt quite a bit that will improve my future piano compositions (all from one modified piece!), so I am very grateful to have had this opportunity.

I still plan on learning to play this version of the piece -- deciding what changes I truly enjoy and thus making it more my own -- and hopefully someday I will be able to record my performance of it too! But for now, here it is, with a similar stop-motion animation, also with minor modifications.
