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'd like to take a moment to thank the algorithm for bringing me here today.
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!
Amazing, wonderful. I sense an impressionist style, yet very personal and mastered. Kudos!
Lovely writing! Great work.
Stunning work. I hardly see original compositions that I’m compelled to compliment, but this absolutely deserves the praise.
Pretty dope to witness the come up of a genius
This world-class 21st Century Debussy-ish inspired to my ears. Sehr wunderbare ❤
Absolutely beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
Such a wonderfull breathtaking sonata!!! It has spirit of 20th century music, mainly of Scriabin, Impressionism, a little Medtner, even some Feinberg influences! Really very well craft masterpiece!
Comparing to other pieces written in the modern times that I’ve heard, only yours I would call a true piano composition. Well done, you inspire me :)
i want to play this so bad but those inner triplets are making me rethink my ability as a pianist. amazing work
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!
It's wonderful!
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
Excellent sense of thematic development and cogency. Glad this popped up in my recommended. God bless you and may you keep writing stunning works such as these.
This is gorgeous~
i usually think of contemporary music as bland but this was insanely good
What a way to infuse a traditional form with a modern sound! Delightful.
I only wish the sonata form was a bit easier to grasp from the first listen. That exposition is damn eventful!
i sense mysterium
You r GENIOUS....
Это звучит просто невероятно... Такое количество разных голосов и тем и такое изящество в каждом из них... Я просто восхищаюсь этим произведением с самого первого раза, как наткнулась на него в рекомендациях, и теперь время от времени возвращаюсь и переслушиваю его, когда хочу отпустить свои тревоги и переживания. Спасибо большое Вам, что делитесь своим искусством с другими людьми и даете возможность окунуться в тот мир, который Вы создаете. Это целая картина, в которую хочется нырнуть с головой. (И да, я удивлена, что здесь это будет первым комментарием на русском))
Спасибо за теплые слова☺
So much beauty in this world. Thank you for sharing yours
WOOOOOW! this is instantly beautiful and so wonderfully composed. Bravo!
Magnifique
Very beautiful Music which indeed reminds of walking through a paradise garden with many plants and flowers, lights and shadows
and water!Thanks for sharing !
Colourful, soaring, outstandingly well-crafted, your work is criminally underrated ! Bravo !
Это действительно круто
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
Respect!!!!!! 🔥You are the real deal!
Ooooooo I just came across this and I couldn't help but listen until the very end. I absolutely love all the colours and textures in this intricate original romantic piece of yours! ❤
Beautiful music Nik!!
Continue to compose please.......
Awesome composition. I subscribed almost instantly
Me too! ❤
Beautiful, you've nailed the polyrhythmic contrasts between the triplet figure and Theme A. harmonically, it's excellent and a great model of what could be considered cotemporary impression.
So glad I clicked on this.
It's very beautiful.
Your piece incorporates almost everything that's missing in most modern music. Mystery, elegance, originality.
I liked it, but I think it would be nice if there was a slow, meditative section in the middle and a fast, fiery coda
Beautiful piano sonata. Congratulations from Brazil!
And so well played
Love this. Really beautiful piece.
Top notch!
This is really beautiful!
Absolutely gorgeous piece! I am so impressed and excited to say that I will be learning this as my next project! Bravo!
It is only one word to describe this.... FUNTASTICCCC...
kompositorisch & auch spielerisch hohe Klasse, Dankeschön.
Sehr gut gesagt
😍😍👏👏👏👏Congratulations! Really Beautiful!
Very pretty. As the young gens say it, it’s aesthetic. 👌🏼
Very powerful, colourful, polyphonic and majestic sonata! Bravo!!🎵🎹🎧😎
Beautiful, beautiful work! Keep it going! :))
It evoked a kind of mistic emotion. Truly a romantic piece
What an amazing masterpiece...
For a moment it felt like I was in a dream O_O
loved it, colourful, rich, emotional. Amazing job!
I thought you were someone else on another channel that I didn't want. How wrong I was!
Help! I want to get back on your YT channel. Your music is compelling, and I want your channel back!
This is a beautiful work that I’ll be emulating in my own works. Good work from another fellow composer.
Estoy realmente extasiada con lo que acabo de escuchar, esa manera de transitar por tonalidades y que todo suene tan natural, tan hermoso. Estoy muy entusiasmada por escuchar más obras tuyas y créeme que esta obra la compartiré con mis compañeros músicos. felicidades.
I'm really ecstatic with what I just heard, that way of going through tonalities and that everything sounds so natural, so beautiful. I am very excited to hear more of your works and believe me that I will share this work with my fellow musicians. congratulations.
wow thats really impressive! I love the harmonic progression and the simple but really nice counterpoint!
incredible! You sir, have earned a sub.
This is so good brother
Wow, what a marvelous piece ! It evokes the sound world of Rachmaninov, Godowsky and early Scriabin yet does not sound like pastiche. Sure-footed and consistently engaging writing without so much as a weak or dull moment. Sumptuous sonorities, partly helped by your choice of keys. BRAVO, and keep up the good work ! I'll have to choice but to subscribe to your channel now 🙂
Thank you!
I like the andante dramatico section a lot. It's good. I was a bit worried it would just sound like video game music with the title. Instead I'm very pleasantly surprised. Nice polyrhythms.
Lush! Such a beautiful work that is transportive and reflective! Thank you for sharing! ❤️
это очень круто. Я бы это назвал Посвящением Рахманинову.
Wow! Wonderful and worth my time. As a fellow composer, I admire this very much.
Fantastic work, I love your late romantic/ impressionistic style! The first measures remind me of some film company intro, I can't remember which one, haha
This shows a lot of promise. Keep writing!
Ravishing and expertly writen music :)
Phenomenal! Structurally and dramatically exceedingly well crafted. Beautiful harmonies and transitions between sections and motifs. Also great playback, could pass as actual playing!
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.
@@PieInTheSky9 indeed. Listen to the beautiful French Army choirs!
This is amazing!
Love it!
Beautiful!
Very nice!
Wow, this is so great man. Im defenitly getting inspired by this
Nice impressionist ambiance
this is so beautiful, and inspiring
This is amazing! I am a new composer and you have inspired me
This is really great! Makes me want to play it!
Amazing piece!!!!!
Wonderful
great work!! keep going!!
💫🌹🎶🌹💫yeah, really nice! I know you said you're self-taught as composer; but you're well taught in theory & pianoforte pedagogy. So, where'd you study? Ithaca College, Mansfield, Berkeley?
Thank you! I studied in a small town of Kazakhstan, in a college full of talented teachers. Although this college is known for pushing its students to their limits, I was lucky enough to be surrounded by those ambitious teachers and learn their ways which include strong discipline and attention to detail :)
😮
wow youve really hit the nail on the head with this one i got a bit emotional around 3:00 and 7:40 was especially moving
beautiful
Wow😮 Whoa🙌🏽🔥
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!
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
Cool cool🎉
Would love to learn this
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.
Will you be uploading this on Spotify ? Loved the composition
Yes, it will be on Spotify very soon
Hello! I really appreciated this composition; that is the style I like the most (complex in harmony but simple and sweet in the melody). What program do you use to make a video like this? It looks so professional, and it would be so useful for me to have it
Hi! Thank you. I use Sony Vegas Pro to make these videos. There's a bit of a learning curve though, but it is worth it!
Beautiful! right hand reminds me sometimes of Godowsky Le Cygne
You’re a good composer, well done 👏
No he isn't.
@@Whatismusic123 What is the point of losing your time on Internet with comments like these ?
@@Dylonely42 what's the point of losing your time in life supporting, composing and listening to garbage like this?
@@Whatismusic123I have seen you on other videos being similarly arrogant, what is the point?
Amazing work
I'd love to learn this piece!
will you ever upload that F# sonata you uploaded on MS long ago?
Yes! Though it needs some minor rework and a brand new recording. Thank you for mentioning it. My apologies for the deleted MS and SoundCloud accounts.
Hoy can I get de sheet music?? 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Very beautiful work 🙌🏻👏🏻💕
Thank you! Check the description🙂
What program do you use to write your pieces?
FL Studio & MuseScore 3.6
Reminds me of Brahms
😍
This is a masterpiece! What piano VST are you using?
Thank you! Synthogy Ivory II Grand Pianos + a little EQ tweaking
@@nikriedel Can you PLEASE please share how you came up with this melody and the harmonies and chose the title? I am struggling with writer's block and hearing these peices is soothing. Thanks for sharing
Hope you can share nay insights on how you came up with this melody or melodies in general.
@@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.
Could I purchase a score of this from you? I love it ❤
Sure, check the description :)
May i ask, what is that beautifull chord progression on 3:20 where it modulates to the sharps?
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🙂
