Currently going through a wave of nostalgia at like 3am rn haha, but thank you all so so much for continuing to show this piece loads of love!! 🙏 15 year-old Emma would be absolutely ecstatic to know that it's still of use to others at her age ☺️ (I'm currently 20 as of this comment 😳 time really does fly...)
This should be a 30/30 - Don't know what institution you go to, however; If one of my students submitted this I would be very impressed (Some teachers can't compose like this)
@@MistaGabagool you are so intelligent 😭❤️❤️ thank you for giving me an idea I'm thinking of "taking inspiration" (deeeefiiintllyy not copying) one punch man's season 2 ending song 💀 Good luck
I'm starting mine tomorrow and I have no ideas bc I'm a guitar player but I dont really think I could do a guitar piece and I'm pretty sure my plan for the lesson is to sit in the instrument cupboard at the back and cry 😌 this is rlly good btw
Wishing you the best of luck - I'm sure that it'll be much easier to think of something for guitar since you'd be the most familiar with guitar techniques compared to other instruments. Also tysm!!
Tysm for the comment! :) I'd say, think about a storyline that you'd want your piece to follow and take inspiration from lots of different things around you, or use images to help. From then on, you can think about the types of musical features you'd want to use - music theory will really help with this! For this piece in particular, I took inspiration from the types of weather/seasons there are in the UK then I thought about the musical features that each section could have e.g. the section at the beginning has a song-like melody + regular phrasing to match the sunny weather, whereas the thunder section from 1:14 has an irregular time signature and a loud dynamic to represent its aggressive nature. A quieter section is incorporated beforehand which represents the calm before the storm so that the larger contrast between the two sections help to emphasise the violence of the thunder. I'm sure you're smashing your composition right now and I wish you the best of luck! You'll get through this. x
Question - can you write your piece in the style or on a theme from another composer and still get the highest marks or will you be downgraded? For example can i write a rondo in the style of beethoven and still get full marks?
What the hell, this is so good! Mine sounded alright but always stook with the key and never added any extra naturals/sharps to make it sound a little more interesting. How do you get that type of "classical" sounding chords like at 0:24
you can take one from a piece of music and write off of that if you find it easier just make sure you aren't copying the melody or rhythm just simply the progression can help, you can even transpose it into a different key that you want it in and change the rythm and everything to make it yours
Don't know, just fuck around with a piano for a while. It's like asking a painter what mix of paint they used. You'd probably get a gist even a simple 1-4-5 progression, all is by ear and all is translated through an instrument. Practice makes references, and references makes inspiration for composing.
I have some advice for you: You should try using Voice 2. Basically if you want say 2+ notes playing while you're holding down another (in one hand) instead of using ties, you can you voice 2
No the only time you perform is in front of your teacher when you do solo and ensemble pieces as the practical aspect of the qualification. This can be re-recorded as many times as you want and it’s not in front of a random examiner, it’s in front of your teacher! The compositions- which is this video- aren’t performed unless you decide to record a performance for the moderator to listen to (if you don’t like the timbre of the instruments on the computer program you use) . You have as much time as you want to complete them (you used to only have 20 hours) and you do 2, one to a brief and the other is a free composition. So it’s nothing like a piano grade exam x (this is all assuming you’re doing the same exam board as i did (AQA) but even so, I don’t think there are any boards that do piano exam style performances in front an examiner at any point)
well yh your imagination is based on things you hear and see and also nowadays it is VERY hard to sound completely 'original' as there is a high chance of someone having the same idea. Plus you are allowed to compose things off other peoples ideas as long as you are not copying them. People write things in the style of other composers as well but it is still their work. Take Kreisler for example - he wrote many pieces on a theme of in the style of another composer.
@@rokerlegend6137 Unfortunately, my friend Sophie doesn't play the piano but I can tell you that if you genuinely want to improve you have to practise often (it's the most boring part but it's an absolute necessity), you need a good piano teacher and you need to stick at it. You won't become really good overnight and it'll take time. Good luck!

I hope it went well!
I don't even have a composition yet and do have a week to give it in. Help me.

I get why it's called through the seasons! It's an amazing piece :)
I've just recorded the singing for mine this afternoon 😅
This is a incredible composition. It sounds so professional
no it doesnt
damn i was overcomplicating myself with my compositon i thought grade 9 needded to be some massive orchestral piece thank you

How’d it go?
How was it? I know a guy who did a guitar piece it had like 8 guitars all playing dif melodies together
This is so good! it reminds me of maybe a detective game or film set in old timey london or something! really great!
a kid in my school copied this and pretended it was his. we told the teacher and now he doesnt like him. his name is PARTH
Wow he sounds cool
He sounds proper cool I can not lie
Damn...😂😂
🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍
@@islanangle1404 he deserved it tbf i’m not gonna lie
Im in y11 now and oh my gosh the time signature change was so unexpected but needed it sounds so awesome!
Good luck, I'm also Y11
Wow, this is a beautiful composition! 🥰🤩👍
im doing the same exam and mine sounds rubbish! do you have any advice you could give me please?
Tysm for the comment! :)

Emma thank you so much!!! 😊😊
0:31 - 1:14
What type of piano playing style is this?
(I especially like the first 20 seconds)
Question - can you write your piece in the style or on a theme from another composer and still get the highest marks or will you be downgraded?
For example can i write a rondo in the style of beethoven and still get full marks?
I'm sure you'll still be able to get good marks even if you write in a style similar to another composer as long as you don't plagiarise anything :)
hey this is an amazing piece and is really a big inspiration for my piece i’m composing for gcse !! what style/genre would you say this is?
What the hell, this is so good! Mine sounded alright but always stook with the key and never added any extra naturals/sharps to make it sound a little more interesting. How do you get that type of "classical" sounding chords like at 0:24
Major 3 chord (3rd is usually minor if diatonic) and resolves nicely to the 6th since it’s a 5th above the 6th
How did you come up with a chord progression?
you can take one from a piece of music and write off of that if you find it easier just make sure you aren't copying the melody or rhythm just simply the progression can help, you can even transpose it into a different key that you want it in and change the rythm and everything to make it yours

Ngl I can't really remember 😅 but yep, the other replies basically said it all - it's just experimentation!
I have some advice for you: You should try using Voice 2. Basically if you want say 2+ notes playing while you're holding down another (in one hand) instead of using ties, you can you voice 2
Do you have to play the piece for an examiner? I sort of picture it like my piano grade exams (I’m in y9 and just chose music).
No the only time you perform is in front of your teacher when you do solo and ensemble pieces as the practical aspect of the qualification. This can be re-recorded as many times as you want and it’s not in front of a random examiner, it’s in front of your teacher!

Freya's right! I did OCR for GCSE and it's basically the same thing. Good luck on your music GCSE btw!! :)
How did you do it maam???
how do you do a mordent? I am doing a piece at the moment and have not found any way to do one.
Forget Chopin, I'm listening to this from now on!
(no offence to Chopin 😅)
I came here knowing i won't get a 7 in my composition. Urs is incredible
Bar 23 not playable?
Great! Really love it :-)
Thank you! ありがとうございます！
Nice! Was this written on MuseScore?
Oh just saw the end lol
this is beaut
How did you start this did you use a chord progression? Or start with the melody?
Do you have to play the piece or can you submit it through an app (like this one)
you can just submit it through an app :)
@@salykhalil4181 ty :))
Musescore.
Sorry for the late reply! But yeah, I think either way is fine :)
great composition :)
only 28/30. deserves 30 for sure
What software is this please?
Sibelius I think
haha it's musecore, it says at the end
Yeah it's musescore haha (sorry about the late reply 😅)
How can I copy this exactly for my composition ?
No offence but the Song sounds familiar. The beginning right hands sound like Hark TheHerald and Bar 11 sounds like a Mozart Classical Movement.

@@chavaambuehl7605 Yes but it's also copyright ( I'm not trying to be mean or anything)
@@megmusician8271 nope. It is public domain now and even if it wasn’t, it isn’t copied, it just sounds similar.
i got 28/30 on my composition 😢😢
How is that bad?
@@raetzzz I thought it was the sweat emoji mol
This is just a compilation of other people’s tunes
Skinny Bittch that may be the case but can you perform?
Can’t of been that bad considering it got the highest possible grade :)
Sophie Heritage how do you get high grade men tell me,on piano i need help

thank you
Lmao mine didn't even reach 3 minutes
More like 30 seconds worth of whole notes
Lmao that's v relatable 😭😂 I'm doing A-level music now and that pretty much sums up my entire composition haha
i have loads of questions currently in y10, any chance i can get your ista or something?
I was thinking that too…. thing is my exam board is OCR and im year 11 now..
yeah, maybe a discord channel would be great
