 | Music is Beethoven's piano sonata No 23, Op 57 "Appassionata", 3rd
 | movement, a more demanding piece of music than the previous Für Elise
 | test.
 |
 | 1. IMIS acoustic piano soundfont. Please listen the complete piece
 | of music; your ears will get used to the sound and will be easier to
 | notice the differences latter.

 | 2. The same file, rendered with a proprietary soundfont. This soundfont
 | is similar to our free soundfont in size, and it is also made from mf
 | (medium-loud) samples only, but it is supposedly finished and well
 | balanced.

 | Comments are appreciated. First impression to me is that most important
 | differences in quality are beetween G2-B3 notes aproximately. I don't know
 | why.

I just notice the more brilliant sound into the non free sf2, and the more 
ambient (or chamber) sound

Yo sólo noto la diferencia de sonido más brillante en el sf2 no libre.

Por lo demás, me parece que está muy bien tu sf2, de hecho lo estoy usando 
para ensayar, ah: y también noto una linda resonancia de caja en el sf2 no 
libre, probablemente porque es lógico que los samples más brillantes y FF 
produzcan esa resonancia extra.

Adelante, yo por ahora estoy a full con Musix, pero tengo buenas noticias: en 
Serbia lo están utilizando mucho en las escuelas de música:

 Hello Marcos,
 
 
 Muchas gracias :)
 
 We will do our best and help Musix be present in schools.  We distributed 
more than 60 copies and as we know kids are using it by themselves which I 
appreciate very much.
 
 be in touch and please feel free to contact me whenever you want :)
 
 
 Best wishes,
 
 
 Vedran Vucic"

Quizá si le escriben un mail a él pidiéndole ayuda para armar soundfonts, se 
sumaría al proyecto freepats, parece gente muy amigable, y hay decenas de 
estudiantes utilizando Musix, entonces no debemos desaprovechar estas 
oportunidades: sugerirles hacer los sf2 como parte de la enseñanza!!

Regards,

 | 3. And finally a real live piano performance by an experienced pianist.

 | the sound is far more pleasant, natural and smooth that the other two.

 | The music is from Hyperion Records' listening room:

 |
 | Pay attention to the expression that the pianist gives to the music. Soft
 | and very loud notes are used to communicate feelings, and the difference
 | with computer renders is quite noticeable. I hope the soundfont will be
 | closer when more layers are used.
