These are just amazing. I often work with piano rolls as backing tracks but the quality often isn't there. I have no idea how you can create MIDI files of this quality, but they are stunning.
I'd like to give you a tip, please don't use dotted eighth note swing! It might sound good through your program but the sheet music is ugly as heck and if anyone tried to typeset it for a midi file then they will have to undot all the notes which takes hours sometimes. It's just so much nicer to write "SWING" above or below the tempo text.
Thanks. Your point is correct. But my purpose is to make a sheet music to reproduce the piano roll performance, so I haven't made a practical sheet music.
@@yukimatsuri I definitely understand that, but it would also save you some time if you put in straight eighths instead of dotted notes. I call it notation malpractice but I don't blame you for using it, a lot of people do because it was so common in the 20th century...
I completely understand where you're coming from Piotr, from a notation "cleanliness" standpoint. However the amount of swing varied as it was further popularized through the 20s-30s, so I actually find it nice to see a more exact notation (like this video provides) which allows us to see just how and how much swing was being used in each piece.
@@Maxime_Grisé A more accurate depiction of how swing is executed would be to simply write next to the metronome mark an eighth note = quarter note and then 8th note in a triplet bracket. This would give you 66 percent swing, where the first note is held one third of it's duration longer. Dotted note swing is 75 percent swing which is much too strong for most pieces.
What piano soundfont do you use? It has a very nice sounding bass and in general has overall great tone! I'm also curious about your software that you use to make the sheet music, I've never seen that style of sheet music notation before. The font is quite strange.
Soundfont is "Clavinova Piano 1 V2.0(ClavinovaPiano1V2.0.sf2)". It is available for download at the following link: web.archive.org/web/20050208210818/www.guraydere.com/soundfonts/sfdetails.aspx?kat=1 Scorewriting software is "NoteWorthy Composer". It has existed since the days of Windows95, it worked comfortably on low-spec PC, and printed sheet music very beautifully. I bought this software(version 1.75a) in 2003 and have been using it ever since. I am not sure about the latest version(2.75a).
@@yukimatsuri Nice! What you're doing here is going to probably come in handy when people go to recut piano rolls that no longer exist because of being destroyed, this channel contains easily editable midi files that can cut new rolls!
@@yukimatsuri Wow, that is really impressive, especially considering the number of rolls you have published. I just downloaded about 5 of them from your website for my personal library of songs to learn in the future. Thank you for all the work you do - it saves us a lot of time!
The site I got the midi file doesn't exist now. It is now available for download at the following site: midimi.org/midi-113340-download-charleston-1923-3143s.html There are also midi files on the following sites: www.pianorollmusic.org/rolldatabase.php?showpage=44&sortby=composer
A phenomenal arrangement of this standard. Much appreciated.

Very beautiful music for dancing in this 2024
Many years ago, my Auntie taught me how to dance the Charleston.
my favorite
Amazing job. Thank you.
Thank you very much for sharing!
Brilliant, brilliant!!! Thanks you!!!!!

Very nice.
Never stop, genius!
Ok is this the original
No, this piano-roll was released in 1925.

Note expressions that cannot be input by software are manually edited from the scanned image.
@@yukimatsuri Thanks so much! Keep up the amazing work!

thanks for this transcription! I've been trying to learn this and just uploaded a video of it in case anyone is interested.
Amazing. Great performance!
Same
Do you input the quantized MIDI file into the notation software and then edit, or do you type every note in manually? Great work either way.
I manually type all the notes into notation software.

Are you still here?
Did you call me?
@@yukimatsuri just relieved you're still there
Thanks! James P. was always my favourite (sorry, Zez!) Got Railroad Man?
I don't have it.
great transcription! Is the midi file available?

@@yukimatsuri Thank you very much!
Does anybody has this piano score?
Cut and paste.
