Chambermusic minus one

Do you play an instrument? Do you would love to play chamber music, but no other players around? Other reasons to not being able to play in the same room with other players? Many years ago, there were records of concerts or chamber music performances on which one voice had been muted. You could just play along with this "virtual ensemble" and have fun.

I started several years ago to engrave chamber music with Finale and producing audio to be able to rehearse challenging pieces. With the pandemic, playing together especially with wind instruments became problematic, as wind instrumentalists are producing a lot of aerosols. And in the last few years, high-quality orchestral sound libraries have also become affordable, leading to a significant improvement in the quality of audio recordings.
