Recording of Sibelius playing back a string quartet score

[Deleted]

Here's the URL to the playlist for a string quartet that I recorded via Sibelius as a scoring editor for Presonus Studio One (its the actual playback). (Three movements are available, and a fourth is coming.) string quartet 1

Carnavale with Clown (6'09")
Variations and Theme (5'02")
Lentessa (4'04")
Country-dance (Allegro assai) (6'47")

I offer it for feedback, although you should know that I haven't implemented the mixing and mastering tweaks yet. The sound reflects simply the compositional technique of assigning (custom) dynamics and appropriate string articulations. BTW, take the score in the video with a grain of salt.

for sure there are some interesting moments Al, but as I was trying to follow the score I found all of the editing information distracting. Can you not hide all of the superfluous information?

Hi Al

Quite interesting, but I agree with Joe here, very difficult to read the score with all that text all over the place. Not a score a musician would like to read.

Thanks for your comments. That you foujnd the music listenable and worthwhile was all that I wanted to achieve. Of course, I mention where to find a clean score in my original post. Were you not able to download it? That I don't use that clean score in the video is not to confuse, but to give to those who might want to use my method insight into how best to go about it. Unless I post two versions of the same music, I really don't know how to go about satisfying both the visual and auditory needs of people.

When I clicked on the link I got the same score that was in the video, Al.  Joe

Yep! Same this side of the pond. Same score as in video. Not easy to read.

Arggghhhhhhh! You're right about the first movement! I thought I uploaded the clean score, but obviously not. The other movements are correct, but not the first movement. So, I uploaded the correct score and it may take a day or so before it appears ready for download at the link above, but it should be correct this time. My apologies.
