  •  Comment - I agree that a version with singing would be even more valuable, but I think that band and orchestra versions of national anthems are completely legitimate and commonly used. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:48, 21 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I certainly respect your opinion. I think that at some point, when we have a lot more really high-quality material, much of what we elevate to Featured status may be downgraded to Valued. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:32, 22 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment - Found this Lviv Conservatory .pdf with her Cyrillic name on it, by looking up her Cyrillic name. Unfortunately, Ikan, I can't seem to translate the article with Google Translate. It automatically downloads the document to my phone, and I can't seem to copy the text. Do you know of any Ukrainian-speaking Wikimedians who may be able to be of assistance to us? ― Gerifalte Del Sabana 08:15, 13 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • The guidelines state that the names of the performers are necessary only if known, though. Now that we have that, perhaps further details are unnecessary? I'm not sure. ― Gerifalte Del Sabana 08:18, 13 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • In a case in which the performer doesn't have a Wikipedia article, I think we should require some biographical information. In this case, we don't even know whether she's faculty or a fantastic student performer. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:41, 13 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Ikan Kekek: Point noted and agreed. The most substantial piece of information about the performer that I could find was the document I linked above; it may provide information. I'll try to find someone to translate it in the meantime. ― Gerifalte Del Sabana 08:46, 13 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Ikan Kekek: I managed to come in contact with a colleague of the performer on Facebook — the performer of Category:Sonatine (Ravel) who was also part of the collaboration of the Lviv Conservatory with Wikimedia Ukraine. She gave me a short biography of herself, and proceeded to provide me with the contact information of the performer of this piece, i.e., Olena Havyuk-Sheremet. I have contacted her and am awaiting her response. I believe it is not necessary for me to include a citation for a short and concise biography of her, do I? I have also managed to ascertain that the performances were considered student performances as part of their education at the Lviv Conservatory. ― Gerifalte Del Sabana 04:06, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I can only confirm that Olena Havyuk-Sheremet was a student when we made the recording, and it was a student concert. The linked article is by Olena, but not about Olena - it's about Mariya Krushelnytska, a famous Lviv pianist (pinging GerifalteDelSabana) --Yuriy Bulka (talk) 09:29, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • @AKA MBG: You should not vote purely based on your opinion of a historical composition. This is a discussion and a nomination based on the technical audio quality and the skill level of the interpretation, not a discussion about the structure and taste of Ravel's piece. It is a composition from the early twentieth-century, and it has been flawlessly performed as it was meant to. If you would like to criticize the composition of the music, I suggest you to invent your own time machine to transport you back to 1904 in order to intervene and stop him from notating it. Cheers! :-) ― Gerifalte Del Sabana 14:46, 13 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
But thank you, nevertheless, for not immediately jumping in with an oppose vote. :) -Gerifalte 16:26, 13 May 2019 (UTC) [reply]
  • Thank you for this fun comment :) But I think that during selection and discussion of featured sound candidates the principle "WOW" (which is often encountered in discussions of featured pictures) also works for audio composition. So the personal attitude and subjectivity may influence to the overall result. --Andrew Krizhanovsky (talk) 17:31, 13 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment - Interesting, and I read w:Melomics. Fascinating. I'm very surprised that a computer can compose such coherent music by itself, though it does trail off illogically (to my taste) at the end. However, the source link, http://geb.uma.es/melomics, produces a "Server Not Found" error for me. I also think that the Wikipedia article should be linked in the file description. Also, is this really accurate? "This media depicts a musical concept or technique, which is considered too simple to be eligible for copyright protection, or which consists only of technique, with no original creative input." Isn't it more that because the music was composed by a computer without human intervention other than the program which the computer itself used, that no human being can copyright the resulting music? Or is it just that the company chose not to try to copyright everything and litigate that claim? A quite inexact comparison is the monkey selfie, which since it was taken by a monkey and monkeys are deemed not to have copyright rights, the photo was ruled to be in the public domain.
I also have another thought: Is this a typical Melomics work, or does such a thing as a typical Melomics work really exist? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:34, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Ikan Kekek, I added a way-back machine link in the source and linked to the en-wiki articles. I don't think it is in public domain just because it was created using a software, softwares are not living things to own the copyright + the software is itself created by the that University, so anything produced by that software is actually work of the University itself IMO, maybe in future when AGI will be a reality these computer can copyright the work.

  •  Comment - No-one said that the melody is of low quality. It's a very beautiful melody. That isn't the issue. But it's really best not to assume and assert that no-one could possibly hear anything you can't hear. There are bound to be people who have duller and keener ears than any of us. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:42, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose low bitrate does not inspire confidence, sorry. Vulphere 16:06, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support — Given that there is only human voice (no background music or other non-vocal sounds) in this recording (and each person’s voice does not encompass a huge bandwidth of frequencies), I believe the low bitrate is sufficient enough to capture the whole song without seriously compromising its understandability. The 128-kbps minimum is only required for full music and other sounds that cover very wide frequency spectra – which may not be reliably picked up with low bitrates; but here, this is not the case. Thus, I would exempt this performance from the 128-kbps bitrate rule; I believe such bitrate rule should be split into two or three separate standards (with different minimum bitrate requirements) for various different types of sound content. ‐⁠‑🌀⁠SilSinnAL982100⁠💬 23:35, 20 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment - I don't think "understandability" is a good minimum standard. It's great to understand the lyrics, and her diction is extremely clear. But what about the sound quality? And when you talk about a small spectrum of frequencies, I think you're ignoring upper harmonics too much. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:25, 21 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment - Yes, of course that option can be taken. As a flutist and sometimes a piccolo player, I know what doing that does to recordings of my instruments, and it's not good (a great advantage of digital over analog recordings of those instruments, when analog recordings are limited in the upper frequencies), but you might want that sound in certain situations. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:57, 21 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose upon re-listening and reevaluating it. The technical quality of the recording is definitely existent, but per Mr. Fish, the intonation and of the performer is noticeably subpar to that of a well-trained professional. ― Gerifalte Del Sabana 16:51, 18 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support No complaints here. Cmao20 (talk) 18:22, 13 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support. Vulphere 13:39, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose - The violinist and at one point the cellist have shaky intonation, so I'm not sure whether we should feature this as an example of a great recording - the quality of the rendition has to be relevant to whether it's a great recording or not. Can we have a Valuable Sound category analogous to Valuable Images? That's where I think this should be put. However, before I'd support that nomination, I also have a problem with the documentation. If you're going to list the names of the instrumentalists, you need to make it clear who is playing which instrument. The composition date is given as "[19--]", which is strange if Glinka lived from 1804-1857, and no year of release is given for this recording. Perhaps the abbreviation "B.v." is significant, but I have no idea what it means and I seriously doubt it's a standard discographic abbreviation. A bit of web searching hasn't turned up any obvious relevant meaning for it. Bound volume, perhaps? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:18, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Ikan Kekek, why you did not try the site of w:National Library of Latvia? See this page with information about recording. --Andrew Krizhanovsky (talk) 08:08, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, but: (a) that page should be linked from the file description. Expecting people to look it up is like asking them to Google to find out the name and artist for a painting, rather than clearly documenting it on a file page for a reproduction of a painting. (b) How about copying the basic information from there to the file page? (c) Who is Braga Gaetano, and how is s/he relevant to this recording? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:15, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks, much better. However, the performance date is still given as "[19--]". Also, I'm sure you'll understand that I will still oppose because of the disturbing performance. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:03, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Question - Who is JCZA? That should be made clear. Also, it's quite odd to hear flamenco with cowbells and so forth. Shouldn't it be made clear that while this is a flamenco melody, the accompaniment is not traditional? I think a kind of program note is really required, for this to be a really useful file. Andrew, I hope you don't feel like I'm crapping all over your work. I really appreciate that you're putting forth so much effort to start this project, and I'm a performer and composer, not a recording engineer or programmer, so I am taking on the role of trying to encourage everyone to do better, rather than actually contributing content.

  •  Support - Good quality performances (one could quibble here and there, but the overall quality was good, with some impressive flashy sections). The overall sound quality for this combination of instruments was pretty good to my ears. And I like the historical context for these works, which I didn't know in spite of having previously played in woodwind quintets and studied with Samuel Baron of the New York Woodwind Quintet and his sub for 13 years, Thomas Nyfenger, for over 13 years. A couple of smallish quibbles now: Of course this is a woodwind quintet, but "Quintetti Concertans" does not mean "Wind Quintets"; winds are "instruments à vent". Instead, this is a French translation of the Italian "Quintetti Concertanti", meaning quintets in the concerto-like concertante style. In other words, these are pieces showing off the virtuosity of each instrumentalist. Compare Mozart's Sinfonia Concertante, which features violin and viola soloists. My second quibble is an even smaller point: I think the 2nd and 3rd movements of the first quintet should be combined into one file, so that there isn't a hole where the 3rd movement was evidently played attacca (with no break after the 2nd movement). -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:46, 22 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Ikan Kenkek: I could probably arrange the latter. As for the former - I'm presuming that "Three Wind Quintets" is less of a translation and more of the common English name for the piece, like how "À la recherche du temps perdu" might be given as "Remembrance of Things Past" in English. Adam Cuerden (talk) 14:56, 23 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      • That makes sense. However, I think the concertante nature of these pieces is worth a brief description. You need virtuosi on every instrument to play these quintets. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:04, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support. Vulphere 13:45, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose - I'm sorry, but I see no identification of the performers, unless Ray Adams is the hornist, but then who is the pianist? Also, where was it performed (I presume this is not a studio recording)? Moreover, the hornist's intonation even in the theme is weird, plus quite a few obvious and sometimes jarring wrong notes as it goes along, and there is an unpleasant amount of background noise at times (though that would be acceptable with, say, a recorded performance by Sviatoslav Richter or someone else great). Finally, this is not just a folk tune, but quite obviously a composed set of variations that need to be attributed to someone (again, Ray Adams, perhaps?). But I ultimately found it too painful to listen to this recording past 4:25. I would have to strongly oppose featuring this, even if the documentation is made much clearer. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:21, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Ikan Kekek, sorry, I thought I had fixed that. The default template for creating a nomination causes all sorts of problems like that when one follows the rules and puts a '/2' at the end to perform a renomination. Should be fixed now. Looks like the information you are looking for is there though. Cmao20 (talk) 06:46, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you. Yes it is, although I had to click a couple more times to find out who and where the Advent Chamber Orchestra is. I think this, from the Category:Advent Chamber Orchestra page, should be included in the file description: "The Advent Chamber Orchestra, a conductorless orchestra, is based in Bolingbrook, Illinois, and usually performs in the Chicago metropolitan area" [slightly edited for grammar].

 Description Torn Apart - Single by Neffex


Lyrics

I’m feeling like I’m torn apart
like I might be nothing
you’ve been leaving all these scars
on everything you touch and
you got me like
woah oh oh
woah oh oh
woah oh oh
yea

VERSE 1:
lets go
they tell me keep on running
keep on throwing and punching
I know I gotta go
but I’m holding onto something
in my mind I know
that I gotta keep on shoving
even when I’m low
yea I gotta keep it coming
and I’m gone
always been wrong
never could look away
never took it slow
kids never learning from their mistakes
got a 40 ounce
if you wanna count
gonna get it now
shatter loud
tell me are you proud
always had your doubts
it’s too late it’s too late
I’m fucking done
with you so far away far away
from what you want I’ve been
doing my thang let em hang
leave me alone it’s a trap
try to get me on the phone but
I’ll never go back it’s been too long yea
it ends here with the words in this song
and I’m gone and I’m gone and I’m gone never coming back again yea
I’m never coming back again

I’m feeling like I’m torn apart
like I might be nothing
you’ve been leaving all these scars
on everything you touch and
you got me like
woah oh oh
woah oh oh
woah oh oh
yea

VERSE 2:
cold in the cut your cut stuck up give it up
wasn’t enough the cuffs left blood thin enough
I gotta go
told you I gotta go
running away from your drama always put on a show
and I’m gonna leave now I believe now everything that my friends said giving me doubt
in my head know we’re dead now like a bleed out
shoulda listened what I said now but you freak out
and I see it cuz ya
sold out you sold out
all your friends run that cold mouth
in the end still all about
everything to do with clout
I know I know ur always right and I’m wrong uh
I’m sick of listening to this same old song uh
thought we were close you just in it for the gain I ain’t here to play these games so leech on another name uh
it’s all good im alright I’m so fine
lll cut ties with your lies a new life
look away
you don’t wanna see me ok
I got thru the pain
youre still stuck on being too vain uh

I’m feeling like I’m torn apart
like I might be nothing
you’ve been leaving all these scars
on everything you touch and
you got me like
woah oh oh
woah oh oh
woah oh oh
yea

  • As far as I can tell, the main difference between the two is that in the original file there is some background noise, which sounds like the call of a bird, at 0:16. This has been cut out in the derivative file. Cmao20 (talk) 06:49, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

File Location  File Location  Description Two ex-J. S. Bach minuets arranged in electronic berceuse musical box format, merged without ritornello. Unique work.

So I'll wait for the others' advices to consider making an alternate proposal. Millennium bug (talk) 01:53, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
By the way, side point, but is there ever a ritornello? Do you mean no da capo to the first minuet? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:06, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
In the original form each minuet have two parts, both with ritornello. Da capo either. Millennium bug (talk) 20:32, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I used to play this piece, and of course I've also heard it performed many times. My memory is Minuet I (Maggiore) - Minuet II (Minore) - Minuet I da capo. Ritornelli are normally in fast movements of concerti (think of the famous opening of the "Spring" concerto in Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons", which is repeated in part in different keys throughout the first movement, interspersed with solo passages) or some portions of cantatas sometimes (Bach's "Wachet Auf" has a famous example in a movement that features chorus and orchestra), never in minuets (unless maybe if Monterverdi or someone else in the relatively early 17th century wrote minuets, as the style was quite different then than in the 18th century). Are you really dead sure you're using the term ritornello correctly? For anyone who wants to understand what a ritornello is and how it relates to the rest of a concerto movement, here's a good explanation you can listen to and look at. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:35, 8 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Alt version[edit]

New file without trills, improved sound quality and a second fraction before starting. Let's try if it works now. :-) Millennium bug (talk) 06:07, 8 June 2019 (UTC) [reply]
File Location  

  •  Oppose - The style is better, even if still a bit robotic in giving the 1st beat of each measure the same weight many measures in a row. However, it has two wrong notes in the left hand in measure 15 - you have A-B-D instead of C-D-D, a mistake that makes the left and right hands play in parallel octaves for 2 beats, totally unacceptable in this style. I think that what you mean instead of "ritornello" is repeats. Minuets normally have the form AABB or AAA<superscript>1</superscript>A<superscript>1</superscript>, and you've reduced that to AB or AA<superscript>1</superscript> in both minuets. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:43, 8 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment - In fairness, since this is such a famous and often-played piece, I doubt I'd support featuring any electronic version, but if I do, it'll have to be really fantastic. So if you want to try to impress me, aside from fixing the two crucial note errors, think about which measures are stronger and weaker and calibrate the accentuation accordingly. One really common pattern in measure accentuation is STRONG weak STRONG weak, but that's not the only pattern. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:47, 8 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Ok. Thanks for now. Fixing the mistakes of classical music harmony canons would not be a problem. But the other disagreementes (weighing tempos and restoring repeats) are out of the inicial purpose, of emulating a simple berceuse music box (and you probable reject this principle). Thus, in order to avoid changing the proposal kernel, I'll wait the others' advice previosously to a possible third attempt. Thanks again. Millennium bug (talk) 13:12, 8 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't say you should change the tempo or restore repeats, but you need to correct the glaring wrong notes. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:07, 8 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I've just checked the original Petzold's manuscript and he himself has written the "mistaken" parallel octave. So I'm in a dilemma, don't you agree? Millennium bug (talk) 23:01, 8 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
No, no real dilemma. It's an obvious scribe's mistake. Fix it to the notes everyone uses. The idea that whatever is in the text is always right is an erroneous 20th-century idea. 18th-century and even 19th-century manuscripts often exist in several versions, all somewhat different from one another, and even printed versions can have errors. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:23, 9 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
So it seems that people that identified the scribe's mistake haven't show this thesis because all available scores (see, e.g. in Google or Imlsp) simply repeat it. Nonetheless, I'd agree in changing if there were more editors in the discussions to endorse it. For now let's wait. Thank you again. Millennium bug (talk) 17:15, 9 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
In these kinds of instances, basic knowledge of 18th-century style in written European music is sufficient to understand that a careless scribe wrote 2 notes a third too low. I feel sure the modern edition I played from when I was 6 had the correct notes, because I played them, but I have no idea what happened to that sheet music over the years. What I do know is that those parallel octaves are ugly in this context and unacceptable, and could not possibly have been the intent of any composer of the period with any degree of musical knowledge or understanding at all, including a 6-year-old. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:35, 10 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I've understood and I trust you so I will take care of your advice in the next proposal. Millennium bug (talk) 18:50, 10 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

[edit conflict] By the way, I'm sorry if I sound abrasive. I'm a professional musician, have a Doctorate in music and taught all kinds of music courses for years, and I also compose, so it's my expertise speaking. I don't have universal expertise on all aspects of music (I imagine some of you know more about hip hop and electronic music than I do, for example), but I know some things very well and don't shrink from speaking confidently and emphatically about them. However, I don't mean to be disrespectful or assholish. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:52, 10 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Of course you're not at all disruptive. You've opened my mind about scribe errors and misconceptions of the "composer-loyalty-school" (of which I've already aware of). I'm an amateur musician and even though I know the interdiction of parallel octaves (and other rules) mainly in cases like that, because we have two voices. I feel thankful for your contribution. I will play the minuets on piano (much later than 6yo) and if you want to visit Brazil you are invited. :-). Thank you for all. Millennium bug (talk) 20:38, 10 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I very much hope to visit Brazil some day! One of my most important teachers was Keith Underwood, who's based here in New York but spent a year in Brazil on a Fulbright grant studying a virtuosic form of traditional wooden flute music while giving concerts and master classes on modern flute. He's been back to Brazil many times and speaks fluent Portuguese. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:41, 11 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
