Hi everybody!
This is the final result of my first attempt writing a sonata (2018).
The intention behind this piece was to write something simple/pleasing to the ear and wrap it into a sonata form. The creation process took nearly 6 months from start to finish.

I must admit, I clicked on this with extreme skepticism. Gosh, how surprised I was to find a beautiful, melodic highly textured piece. With flavours of Scriabin and late romantic piano works. Please, sir. Continue composing, the world needs a revival. Thank you!

Very rich and colorful piece. Wanted to listen in for a few bars and ended up enjoying the whole thing. For me it had touches of Ravel, Scriabin, Kingdom Hearts (lol) and even a little bit of Prokofiev (in the beautiful chromaticly modulating runs). Thank you so much for this!

I wish I'm more comfortable writing these more (so-called) "French" harmonies instead on clinging on the (so-called) "German" composer styles...

Knowing the French language definitely helps. French is a language of vowel, German is a language of consonant, the language is reflected in the music.

Thank you! I studied in a small town of Kazakhstan, in a college full of talented teachers.

Absolutely love it. As a classically-trained pianist who reveres the legendary composers of the past, it is such a damn breath of fresh air to hear a new piece written that’s actually enjoyable to listen to from start to finish. I hope to one day also compose a sonata (I never had university musical training just a private teacher) but have to study composition on my own. Wouldn’t mind some help! 😆 but please keep composing. Will definitely anticipate your next work

A big THANK YOU, Nik. I totally enjoyed the trip. Now it may seem anachronistic to say this but feeling the real sonata structure in a contemporary piece is exhilarating. At some point I even thought he is going to crack a fugato, or even a fugue" 😉 Your subjects would be strong enough for this ! Now about how your work sounds like, I will not go there and stick to the Chinese saying "he who compares, depreciates" 😅 but of course i would concur to all the references mentioned before me if I had, too. All well deserved. Keep composing and sharing ❤. BC

Undoubtedly very pretty, but I don't think it's very successful as a sonata form. There are numerous little quibbles I could make, but fundamentally, the piece just lacks that dramatic tension that you find in successful sonata forms. There's a general lack of thematic, textural, rhythmic, and harmonic differentiation that tends to make it all sound like a wash of sound with occasional detours rather than a dramatic narrative of opposing ideas that eventually come to a resolution. Again, it's certainly pretty and you have quite the ear for this sort of late romantic inflected piano writing. But if you wish to write in this idiom, I do think your sense of structure and drama could be refined.

This is so original (and good, but I think I don't have to point this out...), and sometimes, it slightly touches on Ravel. Moments that very softly tickled my brain while listening. A slight inspiration that is not unoriginal but quite the oposite. Just like Mozart looked at Handel for some moments of his Works.

@@leif1075 I don't really know how to answer this honestly. All I had in my mind is the intention to write something beautiful and soothing with a clear goal to finish the project (even if I'll be struggling with self-doubt and tempted to quit). The music came out of nowhere, and the rest was just letting my body and intuition do the work without getting in the way too much. There was a battle in my mind however. It was using my own theoretical knowledge to sabotage and mess with the project so it would't sound the way I wanted. I won the battle because I knew that will happen. So, I thought if I can predict my sabotaging behavior and manage it through emotional regulation and self-awareness, I can navigate my creative blocks without feeing stuck in one place.

People are uploading a lot of rarely heard pieces, and when you hear them, despite people heaping braze on the piece in the comments, you know exactly why no one's heard the piece... it's trash. What you wrote, however, is amazing, and better than a lot of works by semi-well known composers. What you wrote does not sound contrived at all.

May i ask, what is that beautifull chord progression on 3:20 where it modulates to the sharps?
@nikriedel
@nikriedel Год назад
Bb minor: VI - IV - I - minor V, VI - VII - Alternative VI (F# min/A, since there's no Gb minor), and then the same sequence in C#minor. The F# chord created a simple opening to modulate into the sharps. I chose C# because it sounds interesting in relation to the Db major/Bb minor axis. It kind of creates a subtle yet noticable contrast between the keys and doesn't mess with the ear too much🙂

The first theme is so beautiful. Love the way the lines overlap. Your lines are so clear and sing on their own so beautifully, a lot of times the music I write sounds muddy because of the business of voicings and a lack of clear direction of inner lines. I would love for you to explore denser harmony inside your lines. I think it could add depth to some of the lines in places. Keep up the good work, looking forward to see more of what you produce in the future!
@nikriedel
@nikriedel Год назад
Thank you! Well, adding more density and working with it definitely sounds enticing. But I don't know where to find motivation for that without arrogantly butchering the initial melody and harmonic structure that comes out in the creative process. I do have other pieces with denser harmonies and complex counterpoint that I'll be posting soon however
