I used PianoOne (free vst), Vocaloid 2 Prima (it's the only solution I found since unfortunately I cannot afford to pay for a real mezzo-soprano or soprano; I found the software at a very low price and bought it a few days ago), the voice is so-so, it is still synthetic, and the available phonetics are in English and Spanish, anyway without killing myself too much I "managed" to do something. I recorded the piano first, then transposed it by a minor 3rd, that's why the sound is muffled; even the tempo is intentional, anything faster would have been a problem for "the vocal performance," so this is a middle ground; I intend to improve the piano part, I have identified some points where I can embellish it without changing the structure:

Very delicate and at times quite heartfelt... the piano module seems excessively repetitive to me and I struggled a bit to get through the 5 minutes and change of Lied.

In general, I didn't hear anything excessively strange.

I most likely "played" it too slowly; by increasing the tempo a little, it could have reached about four and a half minutes.

The vocal part sounds a bit strange to me listening to it this way; with a real voice, it would be something else entirely, but now I will see if

perhaps it is worth changing something (if possible) in order to make the whole thing more pleasant.

What pleases me more than anything else is, without a doubt, the fact that not only this piece, but also others give the feeling that at certain

points it is truly felt (or at least as much as for you in this case).

Don't worry, it already feels strange to me even though I wrote it, let alone to others; it definitely needs improvement.
