Backing tracks for

piano

The "issue" about accompaniments for piano is this one being an orchestra alone, the composers, especially the romantics, tended to write long solo passages. I’m thinking of a system other than a simple click to propose these major works...
In the meantime, I limit myself to "limited solo" movements. Feel free to make suggestions to me : )
W.A. Mozart - Piano concerto Nr 21 - K 467 -
1st mouvement (14:46)
Normally, if you stay at tempo in the solo passages, it should go well : )
Play along demo (if you are impatient, the piano starts at 2: 21 ( :

M. Ravel - Piano concerto in G - Mvt 2 , Adagio assai
(7:10 + 2:00 intro) 
Strings and flute start on the 2nd beat of bar 35; I did not leave any "pause" and the sound start immediately: play the intro freely then if you do not have an accomplice to launch the track, give up the left hand bar 35 (Sorry, Maurice!) to lauch the sound on the right hand trill.  Below are:

Robert Schumann - Piano concerto in Am Op.54 - 1st mouvement, Allegro affetuoso (4 : 26)
On request of an Internet pianist who likes Yoursolo, I worked on this famous concerto which has wide ranges  of integral solo... I doubted it was possible to "drop back" with the "orchestra" after these solo passages (cf. page "more infos").
I limited the tempo variations and it looks like it’s working... Pianists friends, want to try?
Below is a demo with piano:
And the same without piano. It's up to you : )

W.A. Mozart -Adagio from piano Concerto
N. 23 - K 488

 
You ideally need an accomplice to play this piece "live". An accomplice who, at your sign, will start the sound at bar 12 (Play the introduction freely on the basis of 84/eighth ). Keep this tempo bars 20 to 25. Stop the sound at bar 53. Then play the intro as above. Restart sound at bar 68 until coda. Have fun!

W.A. Mozart - Piano concerto in Dm - N. 20 - K 466 - Mouvement 1, Allegro
There are rather long solo passages... For final cadenza (bars 368 to 435), you must have an accomplice who will stop and restart the "orchestra". I left 2 seconds : )

S. Rachmaninov - Concerto pour piano Nr 2 - 2eme mouv. Adagio (11:50)
Mythical adagio with three solo piano passages... it’s acrobatic but doable. See on this page the interpretation of Sehong Hui on MP3 Yoursolo.

I'm searching a solution since a long time .... I make here a test with 1 shunted measure of the left hand, in order you can launch the solo passages at the right tempo... Hope it's a good idea... Thanks for your comments : )
