Very nice, and welcome to the forum.
Hope to hear/see more of your work here. I've just subscribed to your Youtube channel and really enjoyed Faure apres un reve pour violon.

Hi winxart!
It is such a joy to listen to you!
I'm curious, if this is a hommage to Maurane - do you ever play along with a track of her singing?
Thanks to you I looked up a video of Maurane siinging this (beautiful). Is it wrong to think you'd sound wonderful with her voice track vs. the piano?
I'm an adult beginner, but I love to play along with singers and groups I admire. Usually a musical score isn't available so I have to figure it out by ear.

Thank you BillyG and ELCB.
Emily ,no, i don't play with the track while she is singing.
my idea was to substitute the voice by a violin melody
it's a difficult challenge because there is a lot of emotional charge
in the words used in the voice track....
so i made my own piano track (i found some help with a version Musescore
i have adapted for the violin ..other tone .. modifications in the solo part ..)
i use The software Make music Finale for all my piano backing tracks .
transcribe by ear is a difficult work .

Nice - MuseScore is my "go to resource" ( even for fiddle tunes which are new to me - normally I play "by ear" - or better said, "by how I hear it in my head" - for tunes I know - and of course MANY, MANY fiddle tunes are "scored" (if you can call it that) only in ABC notation, but MuseScore has an "import ABC" facility to get it into real notation - then you're free to edit the score however you want to... LOL and I usually do!)
And yes, when it's dealing with just "some tune I want to play" and there's nothing available - sure as you say "to transcribe by ear is difficult". But, the more often you take that challenge on-board - the easier it becomes - and ( well for me ) the most interesting thing about doing that is that the end result can be quite "individual and unique" to the performer but still communicates the original piece very clearly.
Interesting, indeed....

winxart and BillyG
I understand. Thank you both for the info! I enjoy training myself to play the violin by ear - probably because my eyes are shot and I'd eventually like the freedom to grab my fiddle, go anywhere & not depend on sheet music.
On the other, this conversation has made me realize I can see the need to become familiar with the software/program you suggest.

BillyG ,i agree with you when you say :
"the more often you take that challenge on-board - the easier it becomes - and ( well for me ) the most interesting thing about doing that is that the end result can be quite "individual and unique" to the performer but still communicates the original piece very clearly. "
that's why any classical trained musician should be interested about folk an traditional music because, often (if there is some scoring sheet music ) he can find only a basic scored music...and then he has to be inventive and forge his own version .that's indeed quite interesting.
Emily ,if you are newbie in music ,i think ,when you use a software as Musescore or Finale Make music ,you can learn a lot about the fondamentals of the music :intonation and rythmic .for me rythme is a math exercise ,intonation is an ear training exercise...you can practise the both with these softwares.
