Judging by this you're not yet at the level required for such an undertaking. There is virtually no development of themes and the structure of this piece, with that almost random virtuosic intermission that then is taken nowhere, and not even a proper coda, isn't coherent. Also, it lacks the sort of rich harmonic progressions that Chopin would use, with lots of altered 9th chords and so on. One should only consider composing a work in sonata form if one has the basics sorted out and can write decent quality works of a smaller size and scope, like a Mazurka, nocturne or waltz with 2 contrasting segments and if one knows how to develop musical ideas and to create advanced harmonic cadenzas. Don't give up though, the start is there, you just need to persevere, fix your shortcomings, build on what is good but isn't being taken to its full potential (like the thematic idea in this piece), and try checking out '500 Cadenzen in sämmtlichen Dur- und Moll-Tonhöhen' by Endre Zsasskovsky on IMSLP. This work was written for organists to improvise upon but is also great inspiration for compositions in 19th century style.
@@RepostedFurryTok what worked best for me was to just expiriment A LOT with smaller ideas before working on any major work, you should always be expirimenting from the day you start and till your death :)
The Etudes were meant to be 'beautiful' concert pieces but also to train a particular technical difficulty. In this case, this only has the first thing so you could call it a prelude or a short piece. On the other hand I would like to know why you say it is in the style of Chopin and not on any other composer style.
Etude means exercise that's correct. Some exercises are for beginners, Some for ameturs and some for proffesionals, in this case I chose ameturs and wanted it to practice left hand broken chords to make it more accessible to the general public. But this could just as well be considered a prelude
It's amazing that no matter how much knowledge one has about a given composer, like those you play happy birthday in various composers styles, can never ever really capture it. The composer's soul can not be regenerate.
It truly is amazing, so that’s why even though it’s inspired by Chopin I’m not even going to try to be exactly like Chopin. But Chopin once said he tried to capture the experience of the human soul so that’s the same essence I was trying to capture. Hope you enjoyed this short little piece of mine :)
Thanks for sharing your work with us. From an emotional standpoint, I find the jump from a peaceful reflective emotional space, to a highly energetic almost frenetic one, and then back to a peaceful space to be a bit immature emotionally (I say this without intent to insult). I have never personally met someone who goes between these emotional states abruptly like this. I have seen them portrayed in movies though as psychologically unstable people. If this really does represent experiences you have than that would change how I thought about this. If you were going for portraying emotional depth though, maybe a longer transition the the energetic bits so it's less abrupt? Just my experience, but thank you again for sharing.
hi, just giving you some ideas, even so it s really cool, maybe you can add some chromatics games, going right hand to left hand. It could looks good. And in my opinion this is more like a prelude instead of an etude.
Thank you! The technique you study in this piece is left hand broken chords, if that makes sense. (It's pretty basic stuff but everyone practices it one day)
This is really pretty! And it doesn't matter if it's more like an etude or a nocturne or anything, all that matters it that you enjoyed composing it and that it makes you happy. I think it's really beautiful! How long have you been composing?
@Imakemusicandstuff333 that's really cool! I've was self taught for about 3 and a half years, and I've been taking lessons and being classically trained for the last 8 months. I've always loved composing as well
Adding a little bit of variation to the LH in the beginning and the end would make it more developed and complex. For example in the measure 1 instead of B-F#-D-F#-D-F# something like B-F#-D-C#-B-F#. Great melody
It does sound like a Chopin etude with those distinctive rolling sounds. Truly exquisite, sounds more meditative in style than Chopin's singing and rushing style. But it's something you should perform in public all the time to make it well known. Why not go to Warsaw and perform it at the Chopin competition?
seems a little to easy for a classic Chopin etude, more like his advanced preludes like Chopin - Prelude No. 24 in D Minor: Allegro appassionato, I don't see what your trying to study either but otherwise amazing work.
Thank you! I am working on harder to perform piano pieces, but with this one I didn't want to make it to hard to make it more accessible. The study part is just some basic study in playing left hand broken chords, hope this helps!
I recommend you learn about the etude form before you start composing it. For an overview of it, an etude is a composition that focuses on an exercise but still presents amazing/simple themes/melodies.
Isn't it wonderfull how the world works in a way that if everything where to be perfect nothing would feel special? If there where only good pieces of music that you liked listening to then no piece would actually be good, but because there are pieces that stand out and you like more, that makes them beatiful :)
This is certainly not like Chopin. Chopin was highly reflected, soul searching, this lacks ornamentation and a flourishing melodic style. You were better of just saying it’s your own piece. It’s not Chopin.
Should I compose a Piano Sonata?
ye
do NOT write a piano sonata 😭🙏

@@classicallpvault8251 bet.
Only if it's in B minor like 3rd sonata.
ngl it doesnt sound like etude
Yeah, it's more like a prelude
I don't know which technical aspect this piece is supposed to focus on as etude
@@user-qs6zt5zn9b Alberti bass maybe lol
Do you guys even know what etude means? It has to do something about technical development
that’s what they said?
is the etude in the room with us?
you did really well! im still tryna compose like that, I cant write complex melodies like that for some reason
Thank you! It comes with practice. I had a really hard time writing complex melodies for my first few years of composing :)
@@Imakemusicandstuff333 mhm! ive been composing for around 2 years now, and I'm just getting the hang of it now
Practice makes perfect :)
@@Imakemusicandstuff333 :) do you have any tips?
@@RepostedFurryTok what worked best for me was to just expiriment A LOT with smaller ideas before working on any major work, you should always be expirimenting from the day you start and till your death :)
THIS IS SO GOOD!!! I just I wish this was longer :)
Thank you! I am hopefully going to write a Piano sonata soon in a similar style so stay tuned for that if you liked this :)
@@Imakemusicandstuff333 I'll be waiting :) Cannot wait to see what you cook up

yo thats quite nice
Sounds pretty dramatic! Beautiful composition 👏🏻
And yes, a piano sonata sounds good, I’d like to hear it 😁
Subbed to your channel 👍🏻🎶
Thank you very much!
What notation app do you use?
MuseScore

nice
hmm whats the technique you want to study here? I kinda don't see it
otherwise its a nice melody u got there

@Imakemusicandstuff333 oooh that sounds really good! I already subscribed so I'll definitely see it when you're done lol
What kind of software is that one?
MuseScore
@@Imakemusicandstuff333 thanks, is it for free?
I bought finale and garritan but the sound of the instruments is not so good.
It sounds great! I'm wondering what study this is?
Some simple left hand broken chords
@@Imakemusicandstuff333 if its simple would it rather be a prelude or nocturne or something
@@JeffKwak221 possibly, I just remember playing some simple etudes that also sounded good when I was younger so trying to bring that memory back
Nice!
Thanks
Which software are you using?
I use Musescore
@@Imakemusicandstuff333 thank you very much, looks and sounds amazing! Great job
@@notDreadful thanks!
What is this a study of?
Left hand broken chords
Adding a little bit of variation to the LH in the beginning and the end would make it more developed and complex. For example in the measure 1 instead of B-F#-D-F#-D-F# something like B-F#-D-C#-B-F#. Great melody
Thank you very much! A great suggestion, I agree with it.
What is the technical focus of this etude?
Simple left hand broken chords
@@Imakemusicandstuff333 I can see that for the first section. But the second section technical point?
It does sound like a Chopin etude with those distinctive rolling sounds. Truly exquisite, sounds more meditative in style than Chopin's singing and rushing style.

Thank you so much for all the kind words. I don't think I will be going and performing it at the Chopin competition but it's certainly an idea.
The middile part kinda liszt tho. Nice work!🎉
Thank you! A little bit og Liszt can never hurt anyone (except the performers sanity)
We were bombarded
Yeah
