later this week. Sorry for any delays. I have a large rush order for a
certain list owner (and proud father) that I have to get out by tomorrow ;)

David, could you take some time to describe your products? We promise we wont
view it as shameless self promotion! (JOKE)
I truly am interested.

Ok, you asked for it. Here goes.
I create Piano Accompaniments for Clarinet, Flute and Sax with Custom tempos on
Audio CD (no computer needed!). The service is titled "My Tempo
Accompaniments". The works are fully Digital, and sound spectacular. They are
concert versions, and use digital samples of 9 ft. Grand Pianos of both
Steinway, and Bosendorfer. I have several demos on my page of what they sort of
sound like (they are compressed files). I have over 250 works that I have done.
My Pianistic background includes University studies with Alexander Fiorillo -
one of Vladimir Horowitz's only 5 students, and the Concert Pianist Natalie
Hinderas who wanted me to be a Piano Major (but I value employment, so I
didn't). At the age of 12, I played the Grieg Piano Concerto (1st mvt) on the
Radio for the Norfolk Symphony Marathon (Va.).
The cost of the pre-made pieces range from $8 to $12, and custom (I do the
resequencing, and they take quite a while to re-tempo) are from $12 to around
$25. I am also in partnership with John Cipolla (CATS, Radio City Music Hall)
who has recorded extensively for Music Minus One to offer the Baermann Etudes
on CD - Custom Tempo from the files he used on the Music Minus One series.
My most popular ordered Clarinet pieces are the Schumann Fantasy Pieces,
Debussy Rhapsodie, Mozart Concerto, Weber #2, and the Brahms Sonata #1. I have
one guy who has ordered 4 different times. If you have seen (heard) my free
midi page, there is no comparison to these. These were done by much more
advanced programs, and a lot more time was invested in them. Not that the free
page is all that bad.....
My Flute orders outnumber Clarinet by about 5 to 1. The Natl. Flute Assc. is
doing an article featuring them in the Summer Issue. I really haven't
advertised them - yet.
The page address with free samples and order info is http://www.mytempo.com
My phone for orders is 610-356-7686 (toll free # soon to come)
Sorry if I was long winded.
