I am posting a piece of mine that I wrote last year, for an unusual ensemble: piano, violin, and soprano sax... the request was for something that connected Mozart and Spain, and what came out is a sort of fantasy on themes from Don Giovanni with sounds between early twentieth-century chamber music and jazz... forgive the casual reference to Mozart
What I am attaching is the MIDI demo that I sent to the musicians to give them an idea of more or less how the piece was supposed to sound, let me know your impressions, bye
I am listening now, great job, at first listen a very good impression, I imagine that with real instruments it sounds much better (I specify because it is not always so).

Thank you Piccinesco, a very fair observation... sometimes a real performance highlights flaws in the instrumentation, other times the mockup is better simply because it corresponds more closely to the phrasing and the composer's intentions. It has happened to me several times... in this case there were talented performers, it's a pity they didn't make a recording. Sonig Tchakerian, Pietro Tonolo and Paolo Birro...
A while ago I thought of something, theoretically feasible (provided that the proposed music is liked), crowdfunding: especially for those who truly do not have the economic resources to be able to have some of their compositions recorded, they could propose it in MIDI or soundfont version, even better if with VSTs, and if it were to meet with a certain appreciation, benefit from the contribution of several people in order to reach the necessary sum.
I have read about people who, despite having a job and being able to count on some acquaintances in the musical field who sometimes make themselves available for performances and recordings, ask for money to record the same pieces, which (for me) is even more justifiable if one does not have sufficient money.
