Ampico 53664, Minuet, by Luigi Boccherini
By Mike Thies

[ Ref. Allen Ford in 26.09.30 MMD. ]

This title is in my MIDI library filed under Boccherini:
Op-011 String Quintet no 5 in E mv 3 - Minuet

It gives the "appearance" of being a roll transcription but since it
was "wild found" all metadata was already scrubbed (as is very common.)

While I have not altered the sequence, I have "normalized" velocity via
a simple shift as indicated in the .txt file.

My "reproducing" piano uses a PianoForce Performer player system and I
normalize velocity such that the "average peak" is around MIDI-velocity
86 which -- when played on my system with "volume" set at 23 on a 1-30
scale -- results in "average peak" expression on the high side of mezzo
forte (mf) in standard notation.
