@@ryacoli what is Zagny?

@@nicksgottheaux6445 Sergei Zagny is a composer…

@@klavieronin thank you for your kind words. I subscribed to your channel! You have wonderful works for teaching and many seem very fun to play. Great use of the extended jazzy colors but you are making it uniquely your own.

@@nicksgottheaux6445 Thanks. I look forward hearing more of your music too.

🤩

And yes, John Adams: this REALLY grooves (unlike your stuff)

@@UtsyoChakrabortyLMAOOOO are you saying im more American than John Adams 😂🇺🇸

@@nicksgottheaux6445 If you go by his f***ed up logic, then sure!

@@UtsyoChakrabortywell Then Toot my Nips and call me Son of Absolute Jest

@@michelprezman51 let me know how a second listen feels after having some Tums. 👈👈😎

@@UtsyoChakraborty I’ve done more of these since then with students, it’s a fun creative venture. I’ll send you this one, but you could definitely write your own.

I’m glad! It’s tiny little pieces, the smallest possible feeling of completeness that I could find. The whole idea behind the microludes belongs to György Kurtág, I can’t say enough times how much his work has affected me.

Oh they also all have to do with 5 beats or otherwise 5 rhythmic events, to answer your question in brief, which is really the spirit of the whole thing.

@@yat_ii Human creativity is indeed an unlimited resource! The hardest part is seen as how or where to begin, but one must accept that any random choice is going to be as good as a choice you thought about, as far as a first choice goes. As long as you can start somewhere, the real work is making subsequent choices that cause a logic to arise. But removing the anxiety of the first choice was a huge help!

@@Teslav2_main no thanks, i engrave and publish my own sheet music! I just happened to upload my manuscript for this one in particular- I did engrave it afterward. I am having the cover for the Doom Scrolls designed right now and then I will release them all as separate volumes. I will also release the Little Note Books as a single volume. I am, however, so honored that you would want to do that! I did not think about uploading these on MuseScore. I’m not really sure if I want to or not, as again, I want to be selling the publications. But if you would like to play them and put them on your channel here, I would really like that!

@@nicksgottheaux6445 I really liked the microludes but thanks for your time

@@Teslav2_main sincerely thank you for the request! I will be considering uploading on MuseScore. Do you often upload pieces by others on there? I don’t really use the social aspect of MuseScore.

Nobody can replace him!!!! But thank you all the same. I do owe so much inspiration to interacting with his work. He healed me in so many ways.

That one has really fascinated me. I put permutations of it in my Little Note Books 1, 2, and 3! Check it out. ruclips.net/p/PL2rG81HiY-eajgnxCdi62SDC0pZKY-AMH&si=33QwN4R6voARqnL_

No, I’m saying that Reinbert de Leeuw solved this particular piece of music. And I’m saying that I made this particular piece of music into a longer work that explores that truth behind it. ruclips.net/video/FKHuqtVO1js/видео.htmlsi=basiPKO1Qny5Nh93

The pieces are so short that one doesn’t necessarily need to have strict metered time. Kurtág also uses notes without stems, and the way I understand this in his piano music is that we can think of a beat as “taking a beat” in the psychological sense of time as opposed to a metronomic one. But if you do want notes shorter than that, then it does require stems and flags. This system is more organized with regards to Kurtag’s rests than his durations. TLDR the pieces are short so there isn’t a need for the strictest time, and when they aren’t short it is done so that the player can feel freed from a strict sense of time. I would recommend you check out some of Kurtag’s Jatekok and my Doom Scrolls no. 32 (in volume 4) for more.

Now that is one hell of a comment to wake up to! I’m absolutely beaming. Thanks so much!

@@nicksgottheaux6445 THE DOOM SCROLLS ARE SO GOOD I SENT THEM TO LIKE 3 OF MY FRIENDS!! I think they'd be very esoteric miniatures that beats Czerny exercises any day :)))

@@phenylalanine7392 well thank you again!! I hope you enjoy all the rest of them and sheet music books will be out soon!

Absolutely! I’m so honored to be compared to that! 🤩

I did upload no. 35 by itself! ruclips.net/video/OaDWPKaaHUo/видео.htmlsi=A2dGIewUvzNo7IIx

You’ve got it exactly! Thanks for watching. I hope you saw my other sets as well! This is my follow up to my first set of 6 second microludes, and I have other sets as well. You know what I’ll just make a playlist!

ruclips.net/p/PL2rG81HiY-ebhZ95OnNoEqwKIrBLwTX05&si=YcMF_ogkCQAREdqj

Ugh I read this in your voice. I miss you! I don’t know the duolingo sound bank but I do know they’re going to expand into music education soon!

The less music made for nationalism the better! The nature of existence and time is to change. If you want some longer and more standard sounds you can look at some of the other doom scrolls! Maybe you would like my nos. 35 (Sonata da Scarlatti) and 37 (Hommage a Schubert). Not sure why this one is getting attention but I’m happy for it. There’s no need to be so wild as to say there’s no good music after 1915, especially since Pierrot Lunaire is from 1912! 🤩 I’ve even got a fugue in here dude! It’s the one right before this one! Be not afraid 👁️👄👁️

Thank you so much!! Please stay tuned for the sheet music books!

Hahaha, Carl Vine?? I love him! But the description refers to the old app Vine, where the videos couldn't be longer than 6 seconds. Still, that would be cool to talk to him!

Wow you hate Debussy? Opinion discarded. I’m so happy to piss you off! 😊

TWO. BAR. FINGER. BUSTERS!!! What a title!! I'll have to try that and credit you. I definitely have one of those in my microludes set of Doom Scrolls No. 40! Check it out. ruclips.net/video/0WHMdUwCvkQ/видео.htmlsi=_f8916rZaVQpo4y7

A great combo! I'm quite honored.

so many references, styles, funny pieces and modernist stuff ugh lovely

@@BellaMaxxing42069 thank you so much! If you go the video of No. 35 alone, you can read more on the story of why I’ve done this all. Basically I was avoidant of writing for piano alone for many years, as a pianist I spent a long time gaining the confidence to play in different ways but not the confidence to say something with my writing for the instrument. But the more I taught and reflected the more I felt like I was ready, so I got out all the energy I stored up for some years of holding back on composing for the piano… anyway, I gave it all away but there’s more in the description for the video of No. 35.

Thank you! I’m so surprised these are getting attention. Must be an attention-grabbing premise!

I’m so glad you think so! Please check out the other volumes as well, Volume 4 is almost complete!

There’s no Kurtág without Webern and Bartók, and there is no me without Kurtág and Webern and Bartók!

@@nicksgottheaux6445 Well said. We sit on the shoulders of the giants.

@@TenorCantusFirmus if you haven’t checked out Kurtag’s microludes or Játékok please do so! He has the seven note “flowers, we are frail flowers” but I was very proud that I made my microlude 6 shorter by 2 notes >:)

​@@nicksgottheaux6445that's funny cus before i saw the title i figured a new kurtag score was out but No! these are all you. i hope you compose more!

@@tbird-c2q i did compose more! The doom scrolls ended up having 3 sets of microludes, and out of 42 pieces I made every 4 Kurtág inspired. I also composed another set of 16, you can find them all here! ruclips.net/p/PL2rG81HiY-ebhZ95OnNoEqwKIrBLwTX05&si=Ft_wzZ5l0Ui1j6ZY

I looked this up and I do have some similar harmonies in some of these to the distortion world theme!
