I am a bit unhappy, that beside those in parts more than emphatic discussions, the very subject of the thread is so poorly mentioned by some of the people who post here.
I don't want you to feel unhappy. Here let me write something uncritical because my debating might have made you think I hate everything you do.
I think it is a service to the community that people can listen to your samples, some works are rarely recorded and also listening to your samples might give them the general idea of what the notes of a piece sounds like. For those who do not want to be influenced by musical interpretations your samples might give them an unbiased overview of the piece (although they must ignore the evenness of the playing and try to decipher the layers of sound).
Before mp3s came out I use to listen to only midis of piano pieces on the internet. I liked this because they where so small to download and in the days of dial-up it was very important but also the fact that they didn't influence my musical decision making so much opened up a plane to understand the notes but not be fed any bias towards how it should be expressed. I think this is a good task for developing pianists so that they learn to craft their musical expression without being spoon-fed how it should be done by recordings from masters at a real piano.
... others seem instead criticising the music prefer to discuss just my certain approach to produce it, without any concrete relation to the interpretation, better recordings, the repertoire quality of the rarely heard composition etc.
How one produces the music is very important if they say that what they produce is of a unheard high standard or requires special music knowledge. I juxtaposed your Liszt sample with Arrau as analysis to your work the start of this procedure and following discussion is found here:
https://www.pianostreet.com/smf/index.php?topic=35977.msg413898#msg413898We do not have to do this with every single one of your samples that I did it the first time was because I wanted to really show you the differences. The result of that discussion made you explore the music in a lot more detail than I have ever seen from you before however your interpretation of the results was not orthodox which you admitted.
"Yes for sure my consequence in following the interpretation advises of the composers might appearear some points unorthodoxed, when it comes to deviate from conventional traditions of Interpretation, as it is likewise the fact that I try to work musically serious with sampled pianos. I know that this is experimental, and risky and irritating for many. "

The day that we consider midi and musical samples or computer playing on par or above real pianists playing on real pianos is the day that I quit performing and playing piano for real and start playing piano through a computer. But it just will never happen, you cannot replace the real piano keyboard, the physical connection with it cannot be replicated (even the best digitals don't come close), the sound is as various as an individual human, each piano has its own character.
@lostindlewonder
Since I nowhere found any hint that you might have ever performed anything on the piano expect three not very convincing midifiles......
Obviously your ability to search the Index of the Audition room is pretty poor. If you think midi is all I have presented I'm sorry but your opinion there is completely wrong just like many of your other ideas on my critique.
Since several reactions on my music there already seem to indicate, that it is possible to enjoy it, what means this great loss might be defenitly threatening.
Your samples are not threatening at all, they are just very irritating and computer like. Some people might like it but the majority see straight through the unmusical minded rendition.
