At this point one can say we're in a new era of classical music which has just started and inspires composers like A Bu. A mix between late romantic music, modern music and jazz, whose pioneer was Kapustin. Who knows, maybe more pianists will follow and this is going to be the standard of the 21th century. The "modern" sonata form after Kapustin would be something like this: - 1st theme in Allegro tempo (0:31) - 2nd theme, more lyrical (1:13) - Codetta with fast right hand runs (2:07) - Development through different Jazz forms like walking bass, stride, swing (2:32) or more lyrical (2:47) - Recapitulation
A Bu is mainly known for his Kapustin interpretations. He has a TH-cam channel here: www.youtube.com/@abu4064 There are currently only two pieces by him that has been published: this sonata and the Op. 7 Fantasie. Both are published by Schott.
@@musicboiscores Thank you very much for the reply! I'll be listening to his Op 7 today and will be following him as well as you. Kapustin is such a brilliant composer as well! Thanks again, and best wishes for a great New Year. --
What a great homage. I almost cried when I heard the quote of the concert etude at the end of movement 2. RIP Kapustin. One of the most underrated greats.
A bit of a late comment, but on the score for movement 3 where it's marked as crotchet = 104, it seems that Bu tends to play this at minim = 104 instead? i think the score is wrong haha
That's true... probably a mistake on Schott's part. Also a little mistake is that the movement titles for the Scherzo and the Finale is not next to the number (ex: "III. Scherzo" or "IV. Finale") but rather written on the tempo marking (I'm aware that those sometimes are the way it is written but Schott doesn't usually do that) That or A Bu is secretly a whole beat practicer and the recordings are obviously sped up to cater to the taste of the masses! (scholars 200 years from now if you are seeing this please don't take this seriously lol)
Thank you for pointing out the mistakes. The 3rd movement is supposed to be played at 104 = half note, it is my own engraving mistake that caused this confusion. Sorry!
I presume it was finished around late January to early February last year. The sheet music only mentions the year of completion (2022) and the piece was premiered in February 2022.
It is published by Schott Music, you can purchase it in their site. Here's the web page for the piece: www.schott-music.com/en/sonata-no-1-noc611034.html

Pinus (Pine tree in Latin)
The great modica is in this comment section as well!!
I love Pinus. Sometimes all i can think about is the Pinus.
Trying to play this piece now. Pinus is hard
🤨
shaking and crying and throwing up i've been waiting months to hear something this good
that sounds like a horrible experience
You were shaking, crying, and throwing up because Pinus deeply penetrated your soul
@@mperstl13u wouldnt get it 🙂↔️
aww hell nahh bro called his sonata pinus 😭😭😭
This made me laugh so hard 💀💀
My thought aswell 😂🤦♂️

@@hannaw9244 Why?
Thank you for the upload!
Thank you for composing Pinus 🔥
Thank you A! I saw that you posted pinus videos on your channel (of yourself of course) and I'm in awe
Thank you for your Pinus!
hey this is genuinely one of the best pieces of music i've ever heard so y'know thanks for that
Pinus goes hard af ngl
“Hard” 💀💀💀
this but unironically
its such a banger

It would make me so happy if this was the direction we were going in. I only wish Kapustin could be around to see it :(((
@@Joe-oh5ch yes, I think he would be proud :(
it would be just about the coolest thing ever if this style became the „sound of the 21st century“ in contemporary classical music…
@@tarikeld11 I actually found some pieces written in a simular same style as kapustins middle to late works
th-cam.com/video/SNu8k1pE5ec/w-d-xo.html
I think us who are trained in classical music would find this type of music hard to follow. I for one love listening to this but could never play it.
so good...
epic mix of kapustin, scriabin, and hamauzu
Indeed sounds a tad hamauzu
pinus
this is so sad alexa play A Bu Pinus
Absolutely outstanding! I hear a lot of Kapustin, but I think I'm also hearing some more recent musical influences, which is fantastic.
Bravo
WOW Pinus is hard ngl
Amazing Pinus
I'm really sorry for all the Pinus comments.. if it helps, I didn't think anything about it when I first saw it 😭😭
Other than the fact it has a goofy ahh title, it's a very good Sonata! One of the best I've heard from recent composers
The title's not goofy, just the people reading it
1:23 the harmonies!!!!
This is my favorite classical piece from now on. Everything from the title, the jazziness, everything’s perfect it rly goes hard
wow! I discovered him a while ago from his Kapustin op 3 recording but had no clue he composed. Fantastic!
8:05 kapustin concert etude op 40 no 6 quote
Yep, Kapustin also comes to my mind when I hear this piece.
Also the whole movement really sounds similar to one of Kapustin's inventions
in the concerted hall, straight up "listening to it". and by "it", haha, well. let's justr say. My pinus
An excellent piece! With a great performance. I need to know more about this composer!
A Bu is mainly known for his Kapustin interpretations. He has a TH-cam channel here: www.youtube.com/@abu4064
There are currently only two pieces by him that has been published: this sonata and the Op. 7 Fantasie. Both are published by Schott.

@@musicboiscores There are also sheets for his paraphrase on 'Misty' and his Happy Birthday variations! though I couldn't say where from
this sonata is sick man!!! love it
The Scherzo is really fun. 👌🏽
This is PHENOMENAL!!
Интересное сочинение. Оригинальный ритмический рисунок.
What a great homage. I almost cried when I heard the quote of the concert etude at the end of movement 2. RIP Kapustin. One of the most underrated greats.
4:13. Фитонциды "Сосны" второй лирической части сочинения приятны и полезны. Красиво. Спасибо.
Even though this Kapustinian style is not my favorite, this piece is INCREDIBLY well written!!! I could never. Great knowledge of the instrument
Superbly played as well just WOW and actually this is more interesting than Kapustin
Третья часть великолепна. Детская игра "Классики"🥰.
Gracias por compartir esta pieza. Realmente muy entretenida de ver y seguramente de tocar. Un abrazo y buen contenido 👏👏👏
Из всех сосен, которые я наблюдала, мне нравится Сосна мелкоцветная( Япония) и С.Веймутова(Сев.Америка).
Good job. Congratulations !!! ))
傑作！
1:40 2:23 11:42
this is actually so nice
The last mvt sounds like Ned Rorem, RIP.
Sorta later Final Fantasy and Kapustin mix.
Not Kasputin 💀 lol
@@enelabe Rasputin
@@enelabe I'm dyslexic and often say names with letters the wrong way around, please consider. I made a correction.
@@deeneno8267 it was funny just because it sounded like Rasputin, I didn't want to make fun of you, sorry if I made you feel bad
Sounds very jazzy 👍😁
Original, i like it!
Amazing!
Pinus?!
As in, the tree (pine)
I like the part where they said “it’s pinin’ time”
@@musicboiscoresnobody cares
@@herobrine1847 As in, the tree (pine)

So Kapustin Vibes
The title is supposed to be like, pine tree, which is called "pinus" in some other languages stop misreading it lmfao
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

@@musicboiscoresRegarding also the title of 3rd + 4th movements, my mistakes as well. 😅 But thank you for writing.
Date of composition?
I presume it was finished around late January to early February last year. The sheet music only mentions the year of completion (2022) and the piece was premiered in February 2022.
First sketch in July 2020 (Second movement and opening of first movement). Completion in January 2022.

Schott
Such a wonderful piece. What a shame it's so hard to take it seriously with a title like that!!!
It is Latin and also the scientific name for pine trees.
I know right, turns out other languages exist! How shocking!
You keep saying that, but he studies in new york, he knew exactly what he was doing and did it anyway lol
@@tedpiano exactly lmao
