Fantastic. I find E minor and E major to be right at home for me when playing piano. I started a one movement piano concerto back in 2019 in E minor. It's "done", just not orchestrated. It was to be premiered at the Sao Paolo Contemporary Composers Festival back in 2020. The shutdowns and lockdowns really affected me and I lost a lot of drive and enthusiasm to complete. Videos like yours over these past 2 years have given me inspiration to revisit and finally finish my work.
I see some hate in this comment section but I thought it was amazing, and I’ve been composing for almost 7 years so I do have a little experience lol. My favorite part was the solo section with the French horn and strings, along with the cadenza! Amazing work!!!!
I can definitely hear the rach inspirations, this is extremely beautiful! As a bassonist I'm also especially glad you gave all parts some nuance to them! Overall this concerto is amazing!
I'm weirded out by the ridiculous number of harsh elitists comments on this piece. I think that this is fantastic! I can tell you put a lot of work into this piece and that you have added to you've learned a lot about composition and orchestration in the progress. To me, this means so much more than whether or not someone liked or disliked my particular composing style or musical tastes. So, keep composing and ignore the haters! 🙂🙂
there's a large difference between being an elitist, and not sitting back when someone with no experience sullies the art by pretending that literally anyone can do it, no matter the actual skill or experience. he sould be improving his craft, writing simple songs. not whole concertos. He simply can't.
@@Whatismusic123 I just want to be supportive and give constructive criticism where possible. Classical music isn't an exclusive club for people with a proper music education. If anything, I don't understand how an ambitious beginner composition made on MuseScore and posted on TH-cam could possibly "sully the arts." It reminds me of Milton Babbitt's idea from "Who Cares if You Listen?" that separates "serious music" from the public. This kind of attitude has caused the slow death of classical music that we all know and love. 🙄🙄 If we want to see the arts continue to the next generation, it's going to happen with education and fostering a good attitude around classical music, even if that means they're not going to understand everything because classical music is so complex and fascinating. But I agree that when a composer is starting out it is much more advantageous to produce quantity over quality. The more pieces you make at a small scale the more mistakes you'll make but the more you'll learn. Plus it allows you to experiment with new time sigs, polyrhythms, and stuff. Anyhow, I don't mean this to sound contrary, I just want the composer to keep composing and learning!
@@etc.-1912 you really think the reason classical music has died is because it's too elitist? Really? The reason it has died is because there hasn't been even a single even remotely competent composer since the death of scriabin. It's a race to the bottom. Music education is now a cult. And everyone can write a piano concerto on their first year of composition. Producing quantity over quality is exactly the problem. They never actually learn, they just write tons of garbage, and continue writing garbage until they've died of old age. They develop bad habits by writing garbage, they never have a clear understanding of what is good, and people like you fester those beliefs with blind praise more harsh than any blind hate that has been said.
@@Whatismusic123 You're right: I don't think it died because people are elitist. Realistically, it is dying because people don't listen to it as much as they used to. Orchestras cease to exist because people stop coming to their concerts. And in order for them to continue to exist, they will need to work on retention of their audience by whatever means. And in order for the pursuit of a music education to be viable, there need to be jobs for students when they leave college. Right now for classical composers, the most common job that they have is to get a job teaching music, and in this sense, you are absolutely right that this pattern has slowly turned contemporary classical music into the academic, inaccessible, and bizarre beast that it is today. I think Milton Babbitt said what he said because as a product of academia, his audience was other academics. So, I can see why you would call it a "cult," but I don't think the problem started there. Regardless of the cause, even if there were a formidable composer, it would matter very little unless they could build and maintain an audience. Craft is important, but at the end of the day, music is made to be listened to. And people don't seem to like Scriabin as much as people did in the early 20th century, which is sad because he's one of my favorite composers. 🥲🥲 What's your favorite piece by Scriabin? Mines probably Scriabin Sonata Number 5, his first and third symphony, and his Poem of Ecstasy. Personally, the way he pioneered extended harmony, dissonance, and tritone relationships has always fascinated me, and the continued pursuit of it's use in tertian, quartal, and quintal harmony and non-traditional cadences has been a recurrent pattern of pursuit in my own compositions and study. Here's a video that explains my stance on classical music better than me, and I'm sure you can find someone there who's smarter than me too. 😂😂 th-cam.com/video/7XDhoBaIj4g/w-d-xo.html
@@Whatismusic123as a professional high school pianist I assure you that your statement is false. How can you say anyone can do it? He spent a lot of time for this piece and you can t ask for perfection but this concerto is very well written and you can see that he made His documentation before writing this concerto. Even if it does not has a story and is empty,the armonies are well made and there are some nice melodies inside the concerto. All the orchestration is magnificent considering this is made on MuseScore. So with all my respect before trashtalking go and make by yourself a piece like this. Have a nice day.
Amazing! Completely and fenomenal Job. I really liked all the passage and expositions of romanticism and contemporaneous visions of impressive technical music
Lovely Piano Concerto! It reminds me of someone who's trying to find peace, but ends up destroying it eitherway, so encapsulent of human nature. Also it reminds me of the structure of Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 3 Mvt. 1; repeating the first theme near the end, combined with his Piano Concerto No. 2 Mvt. 1, with the last few measures. Last parts were also reminiscent of Liszt's Transcendental Etudes btw. :) Thank you for helping us convince that classical music today is still great! Good job! Kudos to the composer!
A few things. Violins cannot have slurs written over when there is tremelo. When writing pizz, dont put staccato on it, pizz already creates a staccato effect. Im not sure why 2nd theme is introduced in E major. Im not sure about this choice of instruments either. the brass especially, and if you are writing in pairs which is what i assume, then you have to clearly state that and reflect it in the rest of the orchestra. Overall this is on the better side of compositions. Good job!
First time on your channel Nick. Nice job with the orchestration of this concerto. Really... you put a lot of work and thought into it... you MUST continue being YOU... don't let anything deter you from that. I see far more positive comments here than negative but still... keep writing my friend. You got my LIKE & SUBSCRIBE! FYI - As a fellow composer I love writing in tonality. I would go as far as to say I like to let the music drift in & out of tonalities... sometimes letting in wander far far into the eclectic realm. You got a lot of inventiveness brother. Keep 'em coming!
Bravo, Maestro! I genuinely do not know where to start. I'm someone who absolutely adores big, romantic, and moving concertos; Rachmaninoff, Tchaikovsky, and Prokofiev are always on loop at home. You really created something that, at least to me, is a perfect piece of music. It's extremely moving, the themes are beautiful, and the nuances are very well balanced. I was almost bawling my eyes out at the end; this is one of the most moving pieces of music I've listened to in a while. Please never stop creating music; you got a gift from God.
i just checked this out and it appears i have been plagiarized D: i finished writing this movement in like october of last year and posted it on musescore then, but decided to upload it here in january. it looks like it got taken by someone else and uploaded here? this is kind of freaky ngl...
@@choppin1810 oh... did you find the video? i never thought that guy would've plagiarized someone, he seems like a nice guy and a good composer, but hes only written for piano so, ive made comments on his channel about this, hopefully he responds
@@karrotkake ya it's kind of strange, i watched some of their videos and found a couple other piano pieces that were taken from others on musescore so i guess i am not the only one?
@@choppin1810 i think he had the concerto viewable to only those with the link or something before, cause it was in his "original composition playlist" for a while, before he release it publicly, and he even posted a preview before releasing the whole thing. i hope this can get solved soon
Wow! I am impressed! This piece has a modern taste, and at the same time, it has a deep respect for those sweet traditions of Romantic piano concerti. Had I not seen the publication date, I would have assumed that it was an envelope-pushing British or American composer from the 1930s. Please continue writing! The orchestration sounds rich - all hail the Musescore development team! The orchestration at 06:58-07:22 is mind-blowing! There are so may little souvenirs, and easter eggs in the text: 03:40 - a nod to Tchaikovsky, 05:23 to Moszkowski, 06:29 to Chopin 06:34 to Rach 2... This work is quite refreshing, and I am so happy that piano concerti are still written!
After hearing that, I understand every thing... Every atom, every particle, every beings, every abstract concepts... It all makes sense now that I listened to an incredible piece by Nick Wooden. Maybe I go too far but I've rarely listened to such excellent music. Thank you, continue like this
This is a lovely work, I enjoyed it a lot, well done. I got some touches of the Warsaw concerto every now and then, was this an influence in your writing? Also I hear some Rach influences. It held my attention from beginning to end, not an easy thing to do these days. Do you have a physical piano? I ask because in my own work I have my piano hooked up to my notation software and I get the software to play the piano, then record the audio directly from the piano and mix it together with the orchestra. That way, you get an "almost" live piano sound which I think would add much to your audio, but nonetheless, a really nice piece.
HOW BRO. IM LITERALLY SITTING HERE LIKE GOING CRAZY. I’ve also started composing on musescore and putting it on yt, and I’m just astonished by the work you have done. I know exactly what it takes to make something like this, and for that you have my entire respect. For the first time I was actually blown away by one of these musescore videos, and I couldn’t be happier since I do really want to see new talented composers like you. Thank you for the amazing music, and I hope you never let go of this journey.
Hence I haven't written one. I am studying music as much as I can, and rehearsing my pieces with musicians to gain enough experience to hopefully write one someday. I have looked at your channel however and I will also tell you that you are a composer of worthy note. Thank you for putting your music up for all of us to see! @@Whatismusic123
Damn. I really love the ending where you clearly quoted the three-note figure from Rachmanninoff. Apart from being a nicely written concerto, such an Easter egg provides even greater enjoyment :)))
Actually I believe there are many more references to Rachmaninov ! For instance the section from 7:29 , a lyric theme played over 4-notes arpeggios, then doubled by woodwinds, that looks like the theme in the 1st mvt from Rach 3, then reused in the Finale of the Concerto !
I mean... This is Fkin marvelous.... Beautiful. I turned it on rn and said to myself, that it is not worse than any work of old masters. I would believe if someone would said to me that, f. eg. Tchaikovsky wrote this. Keep playing
Such a beautiful piece, i love it. The versatility and expressiveness is all there. It sounds like if Rach was American haha. When you get this premiered i'd love to hear the recording
Beautiful work! I happened to stumble across this piece today and had a great time listening to it. I love the motifs you chose and worked on, as well as the way you embedded the piano in the orchestra sound. There are only a few passages I'd like to comment on for instrumentation, like the trumpet part in measure 15. Having the trumpet play in such a high register makes her stand out quite a lot and keeps it from mixing with other instruments too well, not too mention that playing softly in that register is quite challenging even for seasoned players. The clarinet would make a good replacement there (or you might even give the trumpet a rest for that bar as the flutes and oboes double the part anyway). The flute part in measure 128 is pretty much the exact opposite, as in the low register the flute has trouble projecting, so replacing (or even doubling) the flute with the oboe there would help make it stand out more. (Compare it to 219 where the high register carries the flute sound way better.) Can't wait to hear more from the concerto!
A Japanese person passing by was doing the same thing. Hello. I'm also uploading a piano concerto as an original composition, although I can't play any instruments. It's really difficult to have a full orchestra. It was very easy to listen to, and the piano had a very pleasant sound as well. 2nd movement, 3rd movement. . . I look forward to listening to the sequel. Thank you.
Omfg!!! I really would like to watch this concert in live! I hope you have the chance of working with a real orchestra and a concert pianist, 'cause u made something so emotional and great, everybody should have see it! Congrats, excellent work.
Thank you so much for this beautiful piece! I only have a couple of criticisms, which I hope you don't mind me sharing. Firstly, I think the motif (sol fa sol re) is repeated too much for my liking. I know it's the main subject but I would have liked to have heard more motifs or themes. A concerto's first movement should have at least two main themes, no? Secondly, I think way too much of the piece is in e minor. You have that part in e major at 4:00 which I'm presuming is the second subject (?) but there isn't much modulation, in fact most of the piece in e minor. Even in the cadenza you did not modulate, or perhaps there were only very brief passing modulations. The cadenza is not just a place for pianists to show off their virtuosity, it is also a way for pianists to show off their counterpoint and skills at modulation. Modulating to a distant key is a great way to show off, as well as having a small fughetta or canon. I didn't even know if there was a development section it certainly didn't sound like there was. Even if this was not composed in sonata form modulation is essential if you do not want the listener's ears to tire of hearing the same motifs over and over again. Aside from that, you have a great grasp of orchestration, piano writing, melody, dynamics, and there is lots of variation and contrast! I like how you pass the melody around between the different instruments, and the piano does not dominate the piece. So many youtube composers are too formulaic in their writing, perhaps due to laziness and the ability to copy and paste, but you seem to avoid this evil. Keep at it and don't be discouraged!
Right Nick I like the concerto. Great rachmaninoff styling to your composition. My only critique is that from the cadenza to the end doesn’t work for me. I feel it’s an anticlimax after already building up so nicely. Just my view. The cadenza doesn’t work at all for me. And we need those main Melodies with piano and full orchestra again as a climax.
Very reminiscent of Chopin's 1st concerto-wonderfully written pianistic filigree! See the rachmaninoff influence with the 2nd concerto-esque figure in the 2nd theme.
let the complainers complain, shall they come with something better! Very nice effort! I have only one thing which I stumbled upon, the total Tacet of the orchestra at m. 30 sounds somehow strange. I even don't know the exact reason, but perhaps it would be better to let the orchestra continue for a bit, "peter out".
Beautiful piece! I noticed that the main theme sounds like Realm of Tranquil Eternity. It is the same key and rhythm, even similar tempo. If you have not heard it, it might be really cool to hear the same theme developed in a different way. th-cam.com/video/1xMRU4D9ODc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=l9buPxqciNPe_jOZ
A 19th century-style piano concerto in the 21st century? It hardly ranks with the profusion of great concertos from 100 to 200 years ago, so what is the point?
The point is that he composed a nice concerto for himself as he wanted. You're acting like the only way to compose music is to create 100% never done stuff and ground breaking stuff. This doesn't sound very far from a rach concerto, but who cares?? (except you I guess) At this point either you're jealous of his work or you're just an elitist
There is no such thing as writing in the style of someone else, since even the composers themselves often didn't write in what would be considered their "style"
Как профессиональный пианист после первого прослушивания млгу сказать что оркестровка хорошая а фортепианная партия посредственная и механично звучит но вживую наверно лучше будет
mix of rachmaninoff and some other 19th century composers. bad written. I would suggest people who are not professional musicians, not to comment things they have no idea about!
Firstly: Badly written, not bad written, because you have to use an adverb. Secondly: Non-professionals may also have a decent amount of knowledge in harmony and orchestration to share a self-composed concerto as they like. Thirdly: Even if this concerto does have some obvious "mistakes", it does not justify, that people who claim to have better musical education, which I in your case would just describe as more elitist, can simply overfill the comment section with hate notes. If you are a professional musician, isn't it your job as well to support those who dream of becoming musicians, too?
@@Nikiamkla4 Can't say it's good if it isn't. He can study composition in detail and become a good composer, but not with people telling him to keep the status quo.
@mac1024 jeah i get your point. But thats not what i was saying. Wouldnt it be better to Highlight things he made good first and then recommend him things where he could improve? Otherwise i think the Chance is good if he trusts your negative commentary that he will completely stop his efforts because of the reason: „ i am Not as good as one of the greatest composers who ever lived, so i will immediatly stop composing“ and thats bullshit :D
I have absolutely zero idea what your talking about, this composition is absolutely impactful and beautiful. Way to insult this person’s compositional abilities and accomplishments, so shameful.
There nothing original about using tonality in 2024. The composition is just a match up of themes and effets that are not even develop like it should be.
With ''original'' the author of this video wants to say, that he composed it himself. He does not say anything about, whether it is original musically speaking. Also by your logic even atonal music is unoriginal, since it already exists for more than 100 years. In my opinion there is nothing wrong in writing tonal music nowadays. There are many composers in the 20. and 21. century that write tonal music, like Takashi Yoshimatsu or John Adams. And they do it, because that is what their understanding of music tells them. Just as this man does not need to support atonal music.
the section starting at bar 49 just sent me to another plane, this is such a moving piece
Fantastic. I find E minor and E major to be right at home for me when playing piano. I started a one movement piano concerto back in 2019 in E minor. It's "done", just not orchestrated. It was to be premiered at the Sao Paolo Contemporary Composers Festival back in 2020. The shutdowns and lockdowns really affected me and I lost a lot of drive and enthusiasm to complete. Videos like yours over these past 2 years have given me inspiration to revisit and finally finish my work.
I see some hate in this comment section but I thought it was amazing, and I’ve been composing for almost 7 years so I do have a little experience lol. My favorite part was the solo section with the French horn and strings, along with the cadenza! Amazing work!!!!

HOW BRO. IM LITERALLY SITTING HERE LIKE GOING CRAZY. I’ve also started composing on musescore and putting it on yt, and I’m just astonished by the work you have done. I know exactly what it takes to make something like this, and for that you have my entire respect. For the first time I was actually blown away by one of these musescore videos, and I couldn’t be happier since I do really want to see new talented composers like you. Thank you for the amazing music, and I hope you never let go of this journey.
you don't know what it takes to write an actual, competent concerto, that is very clear.
Hence I haven't written one. I am studying music as much as I can, and rehearsing my pieces with musicians to gain enough experience to hopefully write one someday. I have looked at your channel however and I will also tell you that you are a composer of worthy note. Thank you for putting your music up for all of us to see!

7:52 melts my heart
I wish I could compose like that…
Damn. I really love the ending where you clearly quoted the three-note figure from Rachmanninoff. Apart from being a nicely written concerto, such an Easter egg provides even greater enjoyment :)))
Actually I believe there are many more references to Rachmaninov ! For instance the section from 7:29 , a lyric theme played over 4-notes arpeggios, then doubled by woodwinds, that looks like the theme in the 1st mvt from Rach 3, then reused in the Finale of the Concerto !
Not to mention the dissonant chords 6:37 which is an obvious reference to the introduction of Rach 2…
11:32 takes me to another world
Absolutely fantastic work! I enjoyed every minute of it.
I mean... This is Fkin marvelous.... Beautiful. I turned it on rn and said to myself, that it is not worse than any work of old masters. I would believe if someone would said to me that, f. eg. Tchaikovsky wrote this.
Keep playing
Great work
Wow, So cool.. Your Piano concerto even Better and longer than mine :)
Waiting for the seco d movement
太厲害了！！！
this comment section sucks but aside from that great work
Really impressive work like always
Very nice work! Reminds me a bit of Gerald Finzi. Crazy how good some people are at composing..
I felt like I'm hearing a sweet combination between Chopin Shubert lizst Brhams
Such a beautiful piece, i love it. The versatility and expressiveness is all there. It sounds like if Rach was American haha. When you get this premiered i'd love to hear the recording
Beautiful work! I happened to stumble across this piece today and had a great time listening to it. I love the motifs you chose and worked on, as well as the way you embedded the piano in the orchestra sound.
There are only a few passages I'd like to comment on for instrumentation, like the trumpet part in measure 15. Having the trumpet play in such a high register makes her stand out quite a lot and keeps it from mixing with other instruments too well, not too mention that playing softly in that register is quite challenging even for seasoned players. The clarinet would make a good replacement there (or you might even give the trumpet a rest for that bar as the flutes and oboes double the part anyway).
The flute part in measure 128 is pretty much the exact opposite, as in the low register the flute has trouble projecting, so replacing (or even doubling) the flute with the oboe there would help make it stand out more. (Compare it to 219 where the high register carries the flute sound way better.)
Can't wait to hear more from the concerto!
A Japanese person passing by was doing the same thing. Hello.
I'm also uploading a piano concerto as an original composition, although I can't play any instruments. It's really difficult to have a full orchestra.
It was very easy to listen to, and the piano had a very pleasant sound as well.
2nd movement, 3rd movement. . . I look forward to listening to the sequel. Thank you.
excelent Concerto.... big LIKE !!!
Omfg!!! I really would like to watch this concert in live! I hope you have the chance of working with a real orchestra and a concert pianist, 'cause u made something so emotional and great, everybody should have see it! Congrats, excellent work.
Beautiful work! ❤
Incredible work! I hope you get a premiere of this soon, any orchestra would be lucky to do it!
Fantastic!
Impressive
Literal goosebumps
I hope your pieces gets played live one day !
3:58 me gusto mucho esa parte y el piano de la obra pero no me gusto mucho la orquestación
Which midi interface have you used?
Musescore
Great work, excellent ! Who composed it ?
Interesting! Good orchestration
That's so good omg.
Bravooo!!!👏👏👏👏👏💐💐💐💐💐
Thank you so much for this beautiful piece! I only have a couple of criticisms, which I hope you don't mind me sharing. Firstly, I think the motif (sol fa sol re) is repeated too much for my liking. I know it's the main subject but I would have liked to have heard more motifs or themes. A concerto's first movement should have at least two main themes, no? Secondly, I think way too much of the piece is in e minor. You have that part in e major at 4:00 which I'm presuming is the second subject (?) but there isn't much modulation, in fact most of the piece in e minor. Even in the cadenza you did not modulate, or perhaps there were only very brief passing modulations. The cadenza is not just a place for pianists to show off their virtuosity, it is also a way for pianists to show off their counterpoint and skills at modulation. Modulating to a distant key is a great way to show off, as well as having a small fughetta or canon. I didn't even know if there was a development section it certainly didn't sound like there was. Even if this was not composed in sonata form modulation is essential if you do not want the listener's ears to tire of hearing the same motifs over and over again.
Aside from that, you have a great grasp of orchestration, piano writing, melody, dynamics, and there is lots of variation and contrast! I like how you pass the melody around between the different instruments, and the piano does not dominate the piece. So many youtube composers are too formulaic in their writing, perhaps due to laziness and the ability to copy and paste, but you seem to avoid this evil. Keep at it and don't be discouraged!
Hi ! I really want to play the cadanza do you have a PDF of this ?
Right Nick I like the concerto. Great rachmaninoff styling to your composition. My only critique is that from the cadenza to the end doesn’t work for me. I feel it’s an anticlimax after already building up so nicely. Just my view. The cadenza doesn’t work at all for me. And we need those main Melodies with piano and full orchestra again as a climax.
Very reminiscent of Chopin's 1st concerto-wonderfully written pianistic filigree!
See the rachmaninoff influence with the 2nd concerto-esque figure in the 2nd theme.
Wow really good
改為鋼琴獨奏比較好
Very inspired by Rachmaninoff, I see! 👍
let the complainers complain, shall they come with something better! Very nice effort! I have only one thing which I stumbled upon, the total Tacet of the orchestra at m. 30 sounds somehow strange. I even don't know the exact reason, but perhaps it would be better to let the orchestra continue for a bit, "peter out".
Beautiful piece! I noticed that the main theme sounds like Realm of Tranquil Eternity. It is the same key and rhythm, even similar tempo. If you have not heard it, it might be really cool to hear the same theme developed in a different way. th-cam.com/video/1xMRU4D9ODc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=l9buPxqciNPe_jOZ
7:22-8:28 is super beautiful, but from 7:58 especially
Homage to Rachmaninoff. I love it
There is no point in burying piano virtuosity in a loud “tutti” phrase
Who is the composer??
the composer is me :)
Who isn't the composer!?! 😂
We need the others mov!!!
good shit, i wanna make music like this, im jealous
Good try.
No mention whatsoever on WHO composed it？
It was composed by Nick Wooden.
Repetitive pastiche. 👍
BRO MAKES RACHMANINOV JEALEOUS 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥
BRU TAL
A 19th century-style piano concerto in the 21st century? It hardly ranks with the profusion of great concertos from 100 to 200 years ago, so what is the point?
The point is that he composed a nice concerto for himself as he wanted. You're acting like the only way to compose music is to create 100% never done stuff and ground breaking stuff.
This doesn't sound very far from a rach concerto, but who cares?? (except you I guess)
At this point either you're jealous of his work or you're just an elitist
There is no such thing as writing in the style of someone else, since even the composers themselves often didn't write in what would be considered their "style"
Как профессиональный пианист после первого прослушивания млгу сказать что оркестровка хорошая а фортепианная партия посредственная и механично звучит но вживую наверно лучше будет
mix of rachmaninoff and some other 19th century composers. bad written. I would suggest people who are not professional musicians, not to comment things they have no idea about!
i listened to the whole thing how is this badly written
Firstly: Badly written, not bad written, because you have to use an adverb. Secondly: Non-professionals may also have a decent amount of knowledge in harmony and orchestration to share a self-composed concerto as they like. Thirdly: Even if this concerto does have some obvious "mistakes", it does not justify, that people who claim to have better musical education, which I in your case would just describe as more elitist, can simply overfill the comment section with hate notes. If you are a professional musician, isn't it your job as well to support those who dream of becoming musicians, too?
Okay elitist
Sounds like Rachmaninoff without composition skills, just effects, nothing deeply worked out.
Dude there was someone working out an entire Score, putting effort in it, and your first thought is to compare him to rach and roast him? :D
@@Nikiamkla4 Can't say it's good if it isn't. He can study composition in detail and become a good composer, but not with people telling him to keep the status quo.
@mac1024 jeah i get your point. But thats not what i was saying. Wouldnt it be better to Highlight things he made good first and then recommend him things where he could improve? Otherwise i think the Chance is good if he trusts your negative commentary that he will completely stop his efforts because of the reason: „ i am Not as good as one of the greatest composers who ever lived, so i will immediatly stop composing“ and thats bullshit :D
His instrumentation skills and ways to come up with ideas are good.
I have absolutely zero idea what your talking about, this composition is absolutely impactful and beautiful. Way to insult this person’s compositional abilities and accomplishments, so shameful.
There nothing original about using tonality in 2024. The composition is just a match up of themes and effets that are not even develop like it should be.
Go write a better one, then. Do a Fanchen, will ya?
yes, indeed.
bro youre actually dumb i swear
With ''original'' the author of this video wants to say, that he composed it himself. He does not say anything about, whether it is original musically speaking. Also by your logic even atonal music is unoriginal, since it already exists for more than 100 years. In my opinion there is nothing wrong in writing tonal music nowadays. There are many composers in the 20. and 21. century that write tonal music, like Takashi Yoshimatsu or John Adams. And they do it, because that is what their understanding of music tells them. Just as this man does not need to support atonal music.
