it’s very impressive that you were able to make an odd time signature work in a style that’s so romantic and so true to your previous preludes, this is a testament to your skill as a composer! i noticed a lot of influence from your 9th prelude, both in the arpeggio-like figures that go to 8va and in the slow ending with a fermata on the penultimate chord
What the hell...? That's amazing. I never expect much when TH-cam recommends me original compositions from small creators, because they're usually beginners just starting to try out things, but this is outstanding. It's like prog rock or east Europian folk music meets Chopin/Liszt. Great theme and the way you develop it is so cool. And your harmonic language is so colourful and tasty.
WHAAAAAAT!!! This is incredible!!! Incredibly catchy tune with the best romantic chords and virtuosity of the greatest pianist composers all snuck into a hilariously irregular beat makes it one of the most original but traditional preludes I've ever heard. A masterpiece!
This is an awesome work! I don’t play piano, but I do play marimba, and often we play piano pieces on marimba. The limitations of the instrument make it difficult to produce pieces like this for marimba, but when the occasional piece comes along, it makes me very excited, and this piece makes me feel the same way. Incredible composing and great job! Love your Minecraft skin pfp, by the way.
I love your composition style. It is so enjoyable to listen to piece as a fellow composer. You should go professional because you have serious talent, and also don’t let other people tell you what your style should be, stay true to yourself.
Was looking forward to another meme music video, was blessed by a godly composer with something that is a breath of fresh air for piano music. SERIOUSLY looking forward to more.
I’m so impressed with this piece as it’s really a lot of fun! Thanks to the TH-cam algorithm I found your channel and now I get to look forward to more pieces from you!
if i’ve listened as many times as I have now, it must have a shred of genius. The way the lyrical theme switches octaves in the appassionati sections is the hook for me. It’s very easy for chopin-esque piano music to get overhyped but I think your piece is very deserving
Your way of composing is becoming very clear as you post your pieces. I loved this prelude, it's very beautiful, even with a mixed time signature. You can also see traces of the bagatelle in E flat major in some parts of the accompaniment and also in the melodic line. That said, congratulations once again, my brother. You'll receive many awards for these compositions.
I can't believe you turned something from one of my nightmares to something I would genuinely want to play just by listening to it. Very impressive, I hope you keep these up!!!
This is absolutely incredible. I want to send this to all of my pianist friends from the academy of music as a challenge! I play piano good enough to immediately know that I'm definitely not good enough to play this lol (I could play it up to 0:58, then it gets really hard). Great work! I wish you fame, cause you deserve it!
Absolutely brilliant work ❤️ Please keep creating wonderful music. This is so unlike a lot of modern classical that I have listened to… truly unique, playful and innovative. Bravo, my friend
This reminds me of something from Alkan's op 35 set, especially no 12. Your writing skills are top-notch and your ideas are both nuanced and exciting. Thank you for sharing this piece.
Thank you! Your description, although not my original intent, fits the atmosphere perfectly. I chose the thumbnail because it represents the composition’s complexity escalating from a simple little melody to a dense flurry of notes once the beginning section was over. This is indicated by a plain drawing of a horse’s head that is attached to a highly detailed body and tail.
Wow! This is a fantastic prelude. Later on the level of technical difficulty for the performer is definitely for those with advanced technique, so this piece is also an etude. No easy feat to compose a beautiful piece with a 7/16 time signature. Bravo! 😊
Not to delve too far into my backstory, but as someone who studied composition in the 20th century, and having been exposed to the atonalists, the serialists, the minimalists, the aleatorists and the various eclectics, I came to lose heart in where things were headed -- that is, with that which used to be called classical or serious music. Now, listening to what some would call a reverting to the old styles, I see rather new composers like Meliton picking up those former materials once more and finding new and interesting ways of shaping them. My hope is that this will lead to a new form of musical expression which will serve to enrich the human soul for years to come.
I really enjoy your compositions, and I like your playing just as much. You truly play like a composer, and I mean that as a high compliment -- almost all of my favorite pianists were serious composers. That sort of "composerly" playing tends to be very no-bullshit, very alive, fluid, and conveys the music's structure via the rhythmic shape of the playing, with absolute clarity, certainty, and above all, simplicity. (I'm reminded of Chopin's statement that "simplicity is the final achievement.") While it's clear you're not going out of your way to imitate the style of 19th-century pianists (your hands stay together, for one thing!), your rhythmic approach (agogics, as they called it back then) recalls that old sort of rhythm in a way that I find very welcome and musically satisfying. It's a taut sort of rhythm that pushes and pulls the body and never loses balance or momentum, like dancing on the head of a pin. Very impressive!
@@MelitonSoupelin If I may, do you perchance know of any community where people like you talk/share music? I wanted to get more involved in the "original compositions" space
I have joined some Facebook groups and Discord servers to make friends and showcase my compositions. The server where I am most active is called “Based Classics”. I am also considering starting a small Discord server of my own for sharing and listening to music.
This prelude is addictingly brilliant, so vivid and colourful. It reminds me of Liszt's 8th Transcendental Étude a little. I can tell you worked hard on this :)
OMG that main theme is so beautiful!! Looking forward to hearing even more like this from you :) Been subscribed for a while, but this piece in particular blew me away
Está pade caray, mi padre, quien escucha y toca esta clase de piezas desde hace 40 años, te da sus más grandes felicitaciones!! De verdad que qué bello caray, me encantó!!! Por Dios, a mi parecer fue muy bello escucharlo!! Saludos desde la Ciudad de México 🇲🇽
Oh wow this is a greatcomposition! I love 7/8, because it always seems to freshen up the pieces that use it. In this case I'm really impressed by how you managed to make this sound so classical. Also, the ending isn't as bad as your thumbnail makes it out to be. ;)
I'm glad to have discovered your compositions so early. They have a wonderful sound and playing them well will elude me for a long time I'm sure. I hope you find great success while keeping the Romantic piano tradition alive. My request/challenge would be that I'd love to hear a tango in the Brazilian style from you (a la Ernesto Nazareth). Having listened to the rags you composed I have no doubt you'd be able to provide your refreshing take on the style. Keep up the good work!
Beautiful. Flows so nice, love the time signature. What a piece! Will you try composing some ragtime anytime soon, just out of curiosity? And honestly, 0:53 -and the transition to the appassionatio sound so Chopin-like, what a great transition!
Randomly got recommended this video by the algorithm, have watched it three times and had the tune stuck in my head all day. I keep finding myself humming it to myself.
@@MelitonSoupelin Dude... When I hear my own compositions... I die inside... Maybe I should post mine too... To get an opinion from others! Your music is absolutely fantastic!
This is great! It follows well in the footsteps of the piano virtuosos. But the best thing is that it's catchy and memorable. Let it sink in that someone here has just found an earworm after just one hearing!

You’re handwriting is better and clearer than UFO sightings when they record something on their Nokia
Alllmost a compliment...
The miniature is absolutely descriptive and accurate. 10/10
😃
9/10, haha
The fact you can write 10x better than what any of us can do on a software is amazing.
Not really he's more familiar with the instrument he's playing on
Ah yes, the romantic period’s lesser-known odd-time dance craze.
You have a real melodic gift. Not as common as people think.
Thank you!

I'm from 2035 and I can confirm this prelude is finished
I'm on a Meliton binge right now and I gotta say I'm loving every minute
😃
The youtube algorithm has surely blessed me with your channel recommendations. Incredible work buddy
Thank you!
I like how 7/16 is like 4/4, but not quite. Makes for a really interesting, jumpy rhythm.
I feel bad for having enjoyed your music so much these last few months so here's a little thank you.
Thank you for your support, Laurent!

Wow, hello from another marimba playing fan :) There are dozens of us! Dozens!!
remarkably neat handwriting!
This is so playful and wonderful. Love the sounds of the time signature and the curiosity and fun it creates!
And what an exciting way to hear it build throughout!
You never fail to amaze me with your gorgeous compositions! Never stop composing!
Thank you very much!

Excellent. It has a very Alkan Op. 35 feel and the time signature feels like a second nod to that compoaer. Wonderful.

😃

The ending starting from 3:20 is so beautiful
Great job!

Thank you! I appreciate this!
Wonderful! That sparkling, Lisztian bravura infused with the irregular metre makes for quite an uplifting listening experience.
I always loved the inherent drive of odd time signatures for a reason!
Absolutely brilliant work ❤️ Please keep creating wonderful music.
This is so unlike a lot of modern classical that I have listened to… truly unique, playful and innovative. Bravo, my friend
Thank you! 😃
The development of this music evolves into an incredible prelude! Love the unusual time signature which is difficult to keep time to. Subscribed 👍
😄
that's the real value on internet and TH-cam... to find such treasures! Congrats!
As a real W boson myself, I approve of this awesome music
Utterly genius from the composition itself to the handwritten piece, to the brilliant performance! BRAVO....I give you a standing ovation!
Thank you! I am honored!
There's some kind of genius going on here.
@@aadr that is exactly what l think, bravo.
This piece is exemplary! How can one develop such a simple yet pleasing theme into such a complex and gorgeous masterpiece!
I'm slowly recognizing a distinct composing style
And, funny time signature! It has the vibes from the bagatelle you posted previously. Awesome work!
Thank you very much!
Right up there with Mozart, Beethoven, and Chopin! And the grandiose of an entire orchestra!
This one has a sassy brilliance to it.
What a playful genius
Aw shucks. Thank you! 😊
This reminds me of something from Alkan's op 35 set, especially no 12. Your writing skills are top-notch and your ideas are both nuanced and exciting. Thank you for sharing this piece.
I never would've expected to feel a time signature this odd and you managed to do it really well. Très bien, j'espère en voir plus!
The rhythm almost reminds me of Schumann, and I love the growing complexity of your works. Great job. 👏
0:34 my jaw quite literally dropped
bro I love your channel! this is one of my favourite pieces! I'm also learning to compose, but good luck!!
Love the thumbnail it matches the song. Sounds like a horse on a wild track exploring a forest

Thanks, Asriel!
If I could describe this piece in one word, it would be: magical.
🧙♂️
Wow wow wow!!!!!! Absolutely superb!!! A standing ovation!!!! Bravo!!!!!
Thank you!
Absolutely beautiful, I could only dream to create something that will rival your works. You might be one of my favourite composers ever.
Thank you very much! You can do it too!
@@MelitonSoupelin Thank you, maybe one day.
Love it so much
Great stuff! Sounds very Liszt-y
Wow! This is a fantastic prelude. Later on the level of technical difficulty for the performer is definitely for those with advanced technique, so this piece is also an etude. No easy feat to compose a beautiful piece with a 7/16 time signature. Bravo! 😊
Thank you very much!
Ooooh, new one. Delightful as usual. Thank you!
A quite virtuosic mixture of the serious and the playful. Bravo!
Thank you! 😊
Well done maestro. Great piece. keep it up to inspire all musicians to write good music 👏👏
I would love if you can check my music Maestro. Whenever you can ofc 🙏🙏
It sounds like Liszt time traveled to our time and wrote the main theme for a Mario game
Not to delve too far into my backstory, but as someone who studied composition in the 20th century, and having been exposed to the atonalists, the serialists, the minimalists, the aleatorists and the various eclectics, I came to lose heart in where things were headed -- that is, with that which used to be called classical or serious music.

Very Kapustin-like.... With post-scriabinian harmonic structure, very enthralling, bravo!
The more I listen to this piece, the more I like it.😊
Beautiful! The amount of ink spent on writing rests would make a classical era music editor have an aneurysm on the spot ☠
Keep on going pal.
Can't wait for a live concert one day
Gorgeous! At the beginning I wasn't sure what to expect but it grew into mellifluous splendor! I love it!
Amazing!! I don’t expect it to go from Adventure Island’s Theme to Chopin, Rachmaninoff, and Prokofiev. It’s like a roller-coaster of joy. Great job.
Composed brilliant and played with so much musicality that’s awesome
Never heard 7/16 sound this elegant, I love it
@desmondharris6518 is that seven sets of semi quavers per measure as the basic musical structure?
Yes! I've found another small time composer who is utterly fantastic. Love it when this happens
😁
this goes so unbelievably hard
Fantastic energetic piece! Reminds me of Gottschalk...
Woooow one of the most amazing, passionate and joyful things I've heard this days.
I wish all scores would be so gorgeous!
Wonderful! I sensed a little hint of Yellow Rose of Texas in the first few bars!

Beautiful. Flows so nice, love the time signature. What a piece! Will you try composing some ragtime anytime soon, just out of curiosity? And honestly, 0:53 -and the transition to the appassionatio sound so Chopin-like, what a great transition!
I actually have a few ragtime compositions! Check out the first few videos on this channel for some of my works in that style.
0:51, should've been an E𝄪; 0:53, a missed opportunity to write an F𝄪♯; 2:30, should've been a B𝄪.
Thanks. I’ll fix that in the score.
