I am always frustrated because it is supposed to end in a wild frenzy but never gets fast enough.

i feel that way 'bout lots of pieces, so for several years i have been using soundforge software [a comprehensive .wav editor] to adjust tempi and dynamics to suit my tastes. you could put your music on sf and modify it to your heart's content. i recommend sound forge very highly. plus it is fun to use.

It's between the first choice and the second choice, it's okay and I listen to it once in a while. Thank You Aunt Blabby!

Love, Taupey :)

who here on WP really likes Ravel's Bolero? [you know, the theme to the movie "10" ]


Most Brits would more likely recognise it as the soundtrack to Torville & Dean's gold-medal winning performance in the 1984 Olympic ice-skating competition. :)

Me, I think it's nice enough.

It probably was, but I didn't see it, although I think I've got a picture of Bo Derek on my hard drive somewhere.

Torvill & Dean are kind of national heroes here though.
I'm just taking a guess here, but play Ravel's Bolero to most Brits over the age of 40 and they'll probably say "Torvill & Dean"!

it is always fascinating to talk to somebody from another country.
