Final Fantasy? With a fugue?! Gosh I can't wait to listen to it! It's too bad the file is removed. :[

Lol, sorry I mistook it for a video game >.<! Even though it's midi the quality's actually really good. Not just tolerable but enjoyable to listen to.

Man this was really cool to listen to, how much time did you spend working on it? Really loved the trills and the parts at 1:10-1:20, and the final 30 seconds. Probably one of the dopest compositions I've heard on this site, so congrats!

mjames - Thank you so much! Im glad you enjoyed it .. i tried to make the rendering to be as expressive as possible.. It took about 4-5 days to complete.. Which for me, is quite quickly with something like this.. Last one like this took about 2 weeks..
  Glad it is dope :)
Thanks.

Ah, so this thread is not about Ronald Stevenson's Prelude Fugue and Fantasy afer all, then.

Never mind...
