This one of my favorite pieces by Alma ….there’s something so lyrically mature and rich in its unfolding. I’m incredibly grateful to live in a world where the manifest desire for beauty and balance washes away whatever griefs and disappointments time has brought. Thank you❤️
Being in lockdown in Sydney Australia and listening to your music, always brings me joy and for a moment takes me away from all the uncertainty that the world is facing and as always your music is a pleasure to listen to, thank you Alma 😊
@@infinitefretboard The thing I wonder about is she never has spoken about Chopin and so I have to wonder if he was ever an influence on her. Did she just happen to sound like him by drawing on the same sources that influenced him?
@@Robbie.Dunbar In the second movements of her pianoconcerto there are some Chopin like passages, so it’s obvious she has been exposed to Chopin. Lovely use of mediants at the end of this chase ❤
@@3dbadboy1 Yes, I was going to say the same exact thing! Being on the other side of this curtain called a human life, one will have every opportunity to watch Alma’s progress and enjoy her music.
Way to go, Alma! I can tell from the wardrobe, piano, room, etc., this was done at the same time as the Spring Sonata performance. Somehow this performance seemed to have better and wider dynamic range than the WQXR recording in NY. Maybe you're just more used to it now. Bravo and thank you, as always. (Still holding out hope for VC#2, PC#2, Symphony #1, *any* chamber works, etc.)

Methinks is this a moment in the history of this great composer. For the first time I have seen her appear without pigtails. Has a line been crossed forever 😄
Another classic! glad I got the CD. Who decides what is "fashionable" and who cares? Good music is timeless to those who appreciate it. Beauty is they say, in the eye (and ear) of the beholder.
Mary Poppins. Surprised? I am not so dull my dear Alma. It is a fantasy… obviously it could be about a boy and a girl…the sun of righteousness… innocent love and flirting… a fantasy only in your mind about that secret crush… far too timid and proper he has no idea… and the idea only exists in your mind. You are not only rational.. also very creative. I am really starting to get into your thoughts and mind… it is awesome to have a real live Mozart and the ability to ( forgive me) try to understand how genius thinks… particularly the mind of a proper young anglo-Saxon woman, whom I believe without question is still a very beautiful maiden. SMART and a maiden in 2021… I am so happy and this will be the first time I say this PROUD!
Wonderful music, though I find the title a bit odd; I never get any sense of a chase so much as a leisurely stroll (or perhaps a jog) through a scenic park or pathway. Still - it sounds very much like Alma, and I’ve come to like her style!
I could see this as a chase between two lovers, with the familiar yet new sound. It reminds me of a hopelessly romantic whirlwind.The swirling sections and the contrasting Staccato interruptions
@@Quotenwagnerianer I agree, this chase is one of pauses, slow sometimes, then round and round, like two children or chipmunks having fun on a sunny day.
Well done young lady!! What a beautiful 💐🌹✨ Composition! Keep it up and don't let anything or anyone discourage you. May HaShem continue to Bless you abundantly. By the way: a sweet 5782 to you and your lovely family!! ✨🌹💐❤️🙏🕎✡️
such genious can not be taught , haha, perfect pitch also not ! 'm a musician since 50 years ,begin at age 4 ,this is not possible by every child ! friend...
Oh yes beautiful but please create darker themed music im sure everyone will love it ♡ Do it for Halloween or something... Atleast when you get older and when you do create something then I'm sure you will not regret it. Everyone loves and has their own dark style or sad styles of music.
Her soul belongs to the first Romanticism, with Beethoven , Chopin and Liszt (with another part in the end of the century with Vienna composers...) She is living in the wrong time...
@@Nonconform14 Many composers of that time composed pieces only to show off, full of scales and vacuous technical difficulties... and Liszt was one of them (despite of his quality as a composer). Not everything they composed was a Masterpiece, not all Beethoven's compositions neither Chopin's. This last composer was irregular at orchestration and this girl (in her youth) is more gifted in composing for orchestra. We consider those old composers as Gods but they also had their limits. Its not nonsense what I say...
@@avecesar4244 i don't feeling like arguing with you! I am prof .pianist and i know many prof . musicians, who are glad for beeing Alma in this horrible damned time , your opinion is not interesting for me, Alma is enjoying a lot of people, this is interesting!!Fine .Any answer of you is in vain.
What a pleasure to see and hear Alma perform her own music.
Nice profile picture.
@@ronaldchan3964 wut ur complimenting ur own ppc lol
@@eextremedragonmerecciinc yeah, because I like it so I compliment it.
@@ronaldchan3964 fair enough
@@ronaldchan3964 I must say, yours looks pretty nice as well.
"Alma" means soul in portuguese and spanish. That suits her perfectly. Her music touches our spirits

Perhaps her best composition so far. Keep going, Alma!

Wow wow a million wows!
A modern masterpiece
Alma you’re truly history making
Love you and your music!!!!
It is a great pleasure to go with you Alma, on the musical journey that you create. Alan
Beautiful, though still maturing. I’m looking forward to hearing the second piano concerto - if and when it happens…. And I pray it does one day.
Splendid, how very delightful ! I’ve only been a fan for a
few years, but I share you with everyone I know ! SALUTE !
.........No words, just ears. Beautiful, thank you Alma. You're hope for the futur.
Outstanding musicianship by Alma Duetscher!
Alma, sei il re Mida della musica. Qualunque spunto musicale tocchi diventa
un pezzo d'eccezione!
The Chopin I hear in this blows my mind. The chromaticism with those grandiose bravado parts just screams Chopin. Am I the only one that hears this?.
I hear this too!
@@infinitefretboard The thing I wonder about is she never has spoken about Chopin and so I have to wonder if he was ever an influence on her. Did she just happen to sound like him by drawing on the same sources that influenced him?
@@Robbie.Dunbar that’s a neat idea.

A fabulous young woman who will be the foremost composer of her generation!
That's what I predict too. She's going to be the "Mozart" of our time, but thankfully without his character defects. She's a rising star, for sure.
@markgrant3653 I understand that.
A wonderful sense of form!
My sadness is that Alma will outlive me by many decades so I shall miss out on hearing all of her music.
Me too.
I believe you will have a spiritual front row seat to all her performances so you won't miss anything :)
@@3dbadboy1 Yes, I was going to say the same exact thing!

Once again a lovely piece of music, really like this
This is quite brilliant. You are reviving the genre!
Such a rare treasure.
Lovely piece Alma!!!
🤍🕊🤍✨😊✨🍀💚🍀💙💜❤️
Just love this piece. Keep growing and going Alma!
Das Mädchen begeistert durch ihr Spiel, sie ist am Klavier in einer anderen Welt und die schafft es den Zuhörer mit dorthin zu erheben.
Love it Sprite. You are magical. Love and respect.
Schumann would have been proud to compose this lovely piece!
I hope i'll be like her one day she is so amazing I could listen to her music all day I hope she gets more noticed some day!
A really great piece of musicc!
Beautiful! Always brings a smile :-)

How elegant ! With a distant reminder of Debussy like leaves in a breeze 💐
Magnifique Alma !

I love Bösendorfer Pianos Delightful.
Methinks is this a moment in the history of this great composer. For the first time I have seen her appear without pigtails. Has a line been crossed forever 😄
:P
I think you don't know what hair in pigtails looks like - she has never worn her hair that way! Braids, plaits, bunches - all yes. Pigtails, no.
@@dolvaran sorry my error.... I didn't mean pigtail I meant plaits. Our Alma always looks well turned out.
@@cliveplank2423 On that we can absolutely agree!
@@cliveplank2423 I thought they were the same thing, braids, pigtails, plates, etc. etc.! 😄😄😄😄
Another classic! glad I got the CD. Who decides what is "fashionable" and who cares? Good music is timeless to those who appreciate it. Beauty is they say, in the eye (and ear) of the beholder.
Delightful as always!
fun little piece!
She has an eclectic mix of styles - Chopin, Mozart, Beethoven
What a beautiful soul.
Brilliant! Bravo!
Incredible music ❤

A chase is not necesarily fast. You can sneakily chase someone, like a shadow. That's what I get from this.
I must agree. The Scherzo in Mendelssohn's Bb Sonata (2nd mov't) is much more definitively a CHASE!
I could see this as a chase between two lovers, with the familiar yet new sound. It reminds me of a hopelessly romantic whirlwind.The swirling sections and the contrasting Staccato interruptions
It sounds like a dance where the two dancers are chasing each other.
@@Quotenwagnerianer I agree, this chase is one of pauses, slow sometimes, then round and round, like two children or chipmunks having fun on a sunny day.
Very musically satisfying
I believe that most of her energy these days goes to composing an commissioned opera in Vienna.
Probably seeming i I think she has two commissioned large-scale works
Great!
I like it!
nice sound
wow she is improving
💖😊💖
No doubt, she's a genius girl!
And thanks God, a genius with a beautiful soul!
Well done young lady!!
What a beautiful 💐🌹✨

Genius can be taught. So stop giving ugliness to our children. Share Alma far and wide. Need beauty.
You couldn't have said it better: "... stop giving ugliness to our children. Share Alma far and wide."
such genious can not be taught , haha, perfect pitch also not ! 'm a musician since 50 years ,begin at age 4 ,this is not possible by every child ! friend...
Composing can not be taught !!! Basta.This is wellknown since Bach.
genius
Did she compose this?
Alma is remarkably talented

Interesting composition, Alma, it's pretty romantic with a Russian pinch perhaps?... 👍
I hear a cat and mouse playing hide and seek in a music form. Like in a cartoon years ago.
I shouldn't... I really shouldn't.. inTeResTinG.
Her soul belongs to the first Romanticism, with Beethoven , Chopin and Liszt (with another part in the end of the century with Vienna composers...) She is living in the wrong time...
No, she is living in the right time... A little bit of beauty in this brutal world, we need it!
no nono she is living in the Right Time-friend a good music is ever right! And The Chase is NOT similar to Beethoven or Liszt, what a nonsens!
@@luc5798 yes you are very right, a good answer to mr. cesar
