Hi! I'm writing from Santiago, Chile and would like to participate with my little contribution. I fell in love with this piece many years ago and never been able to play it until now (after months practicing, of course...). It's the first section (Sinfonia) of the second Partita for keyboard, in C minor, by J. S. Bach. I'm a Pianoteq 5 user since only a few weeks. I'm using the Blüthner Studio Recording with some slight modifications on action and dynamics. I'd like so much to get a coupon so I can purchase the Hans Ruckers II Harpsichord pack! Hope you like it.
Thanks!

I thought I would have some fun with the contest this year.  I missed out last year due to illness and time in the hospital. One of the first things I wanted to do when I got home was fire up Pianoteq and play some music! I lost some vision capability but fortunately I can use the large GUI in Pianoteq and still navigate pretty well.   I rearranged some music I had composed a few years ago. I'm calling this version, "Cold November Sky".  I wanted to get an ambient, icy effect from the Harp, so I used Valhalla Shimmer to get a pad-like afterglow.
  All of the instruments used were from Pianoteq.  Blüthner Piano, Concert Harp and Tubular Bells.
   Thanks for watching!     -Perry-

Studiocat - very nice including preset GUI images.

Good luck,

Greetings, fellow pianists and composers! Here is my submission for the Pianoteq Video Contest 2016. I have a real fondness for the Steinway B which I used to perform this original work entitled "Warsaw by Way of Paris". Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pUILxkf25g

Hello everyone, and this is my video. I'm playing the first movement of Beethoven's 8th piano sonata (Pathétique) with the J. Broadwood pianoforte (customised) in the Kremsegg Collection 2 within Pianoteq 5 Standard. The diapason is set to 427.47 Hz (one quarter-tone lower than 440 Hz) in order to make the performance closer to Beethoven's period.

The Pianoteq screen in the video shows Binaural but it was finally rendered as audio with Sound Recording mode. I have two mics from a relatively close distance (but not that close) to the piano, one mic as an ambience mic and one under the soundboard. 

Hope you'll enjoy it :)

Here is my contribution. It is a slightly bitonal improvisation.

Hi there,

I had much fun taking part last year that it felt natural to do it once again. So there it is on a more bluesy note based on famous Hoagy Carmichael's "Georgia On My Mind" rendered famous by the great and late Ray Charles.
I used Pianoteq 5 K2 concert with a bit of fine tuning and a touch of equalizer.
Once again Pianoteq top quality engine is responding to the call !

Catch you later

Hi there!

I use Pianoteq for several year but I didn't know about this contest until now. I found the idea really fun so I decided to do my own video!
I recorded an original composition, called La Chute, with Pianoteq 5.7.1 configured with the Blüthner Concert Recording preset (and not "Model One" as we can see in the video). My piano is a Casio GP-300.
I hope you'll enjoy it!

EDIT: The piece is on of the 'Drie Romanzen' by Schumann. This piece is very special to my wife, Sally and I as I learned it at the tine of Sally's mum's passing. Whenever I play this romance it reminds us both of mum.

I used a tweaked version of the Bluthner Concert Recording AB preset. He piece was recorded in pianoteq and rendered to .wav at 44.100 / 16bit. It's not perfect by any means and I'm not used to doing much recording, but I suppose it doesn't need to be - it just reminds us of mum.

Thank you all so far. Just a reminder: please add a few words about your video entry if possible, such as the title of the composition, what Pianoteq instrument and preset you used and whatever else you find might be of interest. The information will be included on the voting page. You can edit your post by clicking the Edit link at the lower right of your post.

Sia - Cheap Thrills transcribed by ear on to the piano by me. I had an amazing time playing this, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did playing it.
I used the D4 - Classical Recording AB (modified) with a few parameters which have been altered, in accordance with the screenshot at the end detailing the settings in the video itself.

I did use the Demo Mode, in aspiration of the €20 coupon I'll probably get to purchase the whole product later. There are some amazing submissions here, and I hope you just enjoyed mine and since I love the product so much, I'll definitely be buying it later, and using it on all my pieces from then on my small-time YouTube channel for Pop Transcriptions as well as other genre's. I'm just amazed at how a software like this can replicate a fully-fledged grand piano right down to the sound of the sustain pedal. Every fine detail, I am amazed by it, and it is only second to actually being physically present and   playing the instrument there.

It's been a pleasure to contribute to the contest, and I wish all the contestants the very best. Let me know your thoughts on my submission! I'd love to hear feedback!

Hello everyone, here is my entry for the contest.

I'm playing Frédéric Chopin - Waltz Op. 64 No. 2 in C Sharp Minor.

What you are hearing is the blended sound of 2 instances of Pianoteq (which I could do with the help of my DAW) - the first one with a modified "Playel Recording" preset and the second one with a modified "D4 Impressionist" preset. The modifications are mainly on the velocity curves, voicing and effects (such as reverb).

I hope you enjoy this one!

Hi to all!

Use Pianoteq since August 2016!

My Video was made using a Nikon D5100 camera,
Sound comes from Pianoteq 5 STD Piano D4 Daily Practice running on a simple Windows 7 Notebook from 2009
MIDI Keyboard Casio Privia PX-330

Hope you will enjoy my selfcomposition and my (very first!) Video on YouTube!

Hi everyone,
My entry is the first movement of Robert Schumann's Piano Concerto in A Minor, performed with two Pianoteq pianos.  The video shows me playing the solo and I previously recorded the accompaniment using a midi sequencer, called Qtractor (which appears briefly in the video).  I used the Pianoteq D4 piano for the solo and the accompaniment uses the Pianoteq K2 piano.  I used two different pianos to provide more contrast between the two parts.  I hope you enjoy it and thanks for watching and listening.

Okay...so "Happy Birthday" is my favorite.  The only composer missing that I would like to hear is Rachmaninoff.  But the Beethoven is so over-the-top, that it might be quite similar to what Rachmaninoff would write.

Super-well-done!  Almost like PDQ Bach without the Bach.  I guess it's PDQ Other-Composers.  Using such a light, common theme was genius, rather than picking something serious.  This way it lends quite well to everything from the 'flip' Offenbach to the 'heavy' Beethoven to the dreamy Satie.

Again, well done!

Hi,

Here is my entry for Pianoteq video contest. An improvisation of a theme that came to me a few days after I imagined the waves of the ocean called Melodic waves in C major. Hope you like it

Hey everyone!

I was always looking at the entries the previous years but this time I decided to participate!
I wrote an original piece of music using mainly chromatic percussions:

https://youtu.be/XheLYaDbDCo

I hope I'm not the last one, October was really a busy month for me!

For those who are curious about the way I used the W1 and the Electra-piano instruments: I recorded single notes and put reversed recordings of them through some gate.

Imagine ...
Johann Sebastian Bach in CUBA ...
where he meets with Compay Segundo ...
playing his C-minor Prelude --- merging into Compay´s "CHAN CHAN"
playing the PIANOTEQ BLÜTHNER MODEL ONE ...

Hello, my video for the contest.
Since the last holidays, I don't work the piano so I play a little piece for four hands. I wrote this piece perhaps in 2002 for a student.
For this contest I play with my software Videostudio from Corel, I hope you smile with it.  )
