Prelude in Pulse- op. 1 no. 8 - Abrahamson - w/score
This piece mostly speaks for itself. A style of piano composition I enjoy both writing and playing. Chaotic, yet ordered.
Recorded at Opus 4 Studio in Bothell, Washington (March 2024)

Prelude in Purple- op. 1 no. 9 - Abrahamson - w/score
มุมมอง 16616 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
Why purple, you ask? Why anything, to be honest. Music and words aren't compatible anyway so the names and descriptions we apply to music always seem arbitrary and self-serving, but alas, we must name it something, right? G flat is very purple to me, and although this piece isn't in G flat, the G flat section is so prominent that it bleeds into the rest of the piece drowning out the D flat toni...

The twelfth prelude, in Eighths! not in Twelfths.... Or is it...? Nearly 3 and a half minutes of pure action - well, not completely, although the middle section has it's own version of action.

An Impromptu is a piece that's supposed to give the impression of improv. However, since they're carefully written down they can't truly be an improv.

มุมมอง 2.5K4 หลายเดือนก่อน
What is a Nocturne? The answer is obvious. The two pieces in this book are Nocturnes. Why? Because I named them Nocturnes. That, it seems, is all it takes to be considered a Nocturne. Not, contrary to the commonly accepted qualification, because they evoke a feeling of night time. The name itself, “Nocturne”, has linguistic roots in the word “night”. So, why then, do all the nocturnes written i...

Piano Sonata No. 1 - Abrahamson - Score
มุมมอง 1459 หลายเดือนก่อน
A new recording of my piano sonata at Opus 4 Studio in an attempt to produce a more pleasurable listening experience. I composed this work over a period of six months from June 2023 to December 2023. This recording was done in late March 2024. This sonata loosely embodies the namesake form and instead strives to act as a single piece broken into three distinct yet connected movements. Different...

I composed this work over a period of six months from June to December, 2023. I strove to delve deep into an array of themes and motifs and weave together something reminiscent of the sonata form but not intrinsically shackled to it. Recorded in the Good Shepherd Center performance space, the "Chapel", in Seattle, on January 3, 2024. Myself on the piano, hoping one day maybe someone with more f...

Debussy's Image Book One - complete. I figured only a complete recording would suffice. It makes the recording process that much more torturing. Although, this recording is my first and only take which I was not expecting. Although my bar for what's acceptable is not exactly the highest... These pieces each stand on their own as masterpieces. 00:00 "Reflets dans l'eau" (Reflections in the water...

      Hmmm🦾... the same age as Chopin when he finished his op. 63. That is to say, 60 opuses behind the master but still confident I can catch up. I'm glad you enjoyed it quite a lot.

    But on a serious note, it really does remind of me of coming across a fair memory in the night quiet of my own home. Walking along the seine at night, people watching the flow of the city during the day, an espresso at hand. It’s a marvelous piece and full of life

    Repent and trust in Jesus. we deserve Hell for our sins. For example lying, lusing, saying God's name as a cuss word and stealing our just some examples of sin which we can all admit to doing at least one of those. For our sin we deserve death and Hell, but there is a way out. Repent anf trust in Jesus and you will be saved. Repentence is turning from sin. So repent and trust in Jesus. He will save you from Hell, and instead give you eternal life in Heaven. John 3:16 Romans 3:23❤😊❤😊
