How to make a minimalist piano composition, can you give more detailed information, we are waiting for a new video about chords and melodies
Narhe Sol, it doesn't give sense. I am going to criticize you here, I think you are perverting classical music, particularly the hard, intime and time consuming process of composition. Also people cant learn from what you are showing of here, no coherent pedagogical explanation, leaving only a frustrating video of pure show of skills which is both demoralising, provocative and perverted.
Love your channel! Can you do a music theory mini lesson series? I really love your take on teaching new things
Thank you!! I will try to do something like that :)
@@NahreSol And maybe could you make videos on "modes" and trying to teach us technics to use them kind of automatically!?
please 🥺...
@@NahreSol OMG PLSS DO I HAVE BEEN PLAYING PIANO FOR 6 YEARS AND I REALLY LACK THEORY
And videos on how to use music theory to improvise
The circle of fifths progression is a gift that keeps on giving - there are so many ways to play it! Even within Baroque music, I'm always astounded at Bach's inventiveness - the number of ways he found to decorate a single idea.
I loved seeing your process as well as the end results. Thanks for this video, Nahre!
Yes!! It truly is endless. And thank you!!
I can't stop hearing "Autumn Leaves" since that song is essentially a circle of 5ths progression.
Interesting to see how the time limit can drastically change one's approach and methods to reach the end goal. Actually, short time limit sounds pretty fun to try out!
Thank you!
2:56 a musician who can play piano with a pen in her hand -- enough said - What a treasure to get this notification on a week like this!
😅🙏🏻
The first songs with the cycle of 5ths chord progression that come to my mind are: Autumn Leaves / Fly me to the moon 🎹
Nice adaptation of the 1,10,60 challenge i know from heart of keys channel. Interesting to apply to composition. Might be an interesting collab between your two channels…
Id love to see that
I would love it too
Definitely trying this, coming from guitar all my chords are 1-5-1 (left) 3-5-1 (right), always stuck together and I need to get them to be more independent, thanks for the lesson!
Sweet!!! ☺️
I would not have known where to start. This will be a thing I will have to take in a few more times, to really absorb. Thanks for letting us hear you think as you do it. 🙂
Really great video and tips! Love the combination of composition/creativity and diligent practice, makes the latter much easier to stomach!
Thank you!
The 10 minute in E min. was just beautiful!
Your presentations are so warm, fun and full of so much practical knowledge.Thank You!
I'm one month into music theory/piano and followed very little of this but was nonthelesss an absolute pleasure to watch.
Production quality on top of the piano skills here is insane
Thought this was Annique Goettler's channel at first :O hell yeah!
🙃🙏🏻
I like that circle of fifths graphic
It’s never a waste of time watching your videos, love the process.
Thank you!!
When I play musical instruments I just improvise continuously, pushing myself to move to new keys and new progressions and scales. In my practice I spend 99% improvising and 1% studying. I have so many music theories that are completely original as far as I can tell.
I'm still muddling my way through music theory, so these are very nice exercises. I get the circle of fifths and building simple chord progressions based on that, but this gives me some good ideas of how to take it another full step musically. Does that make this video a perfect fifth?
I’m very glad to hear!!
Very good idea to take on this challenge and share it with us! I really wanted an ascending triplet pattern to close out that last exercise. 😎
Thank you!!
I started using Skillshare to help me build my home studio. I’m definitely gonna check out that particular one about how to organize your life that you suggested. Thanks again as always and see you on Patreon too!
4th gen iPod Touch charging sound at 0:08, interesting choice lol
I really really liked the transposed version of 1 hour. It felt very ethereal.
Great video! I started practicing yesterday just playing 1,4,5 and then using that 5 as the next 1 and continuing through all 12 keys as 1,4,5, 1,4,5. 1,4,5 and it seemed to be pretty effective at getting some muscle memory down on the hand positions and the movements.
Such beautiful music! Even in these exercises, I feel like I hear your point of view as a pianist and composer. Always very colorful and smart.
Hello Nahre...Can you do an experiment/compose over several different time signature. I feel like classical piano techniques mainly developed over 4/4 or 3/4 & their variants (6/8, 2/4, etc). can you develope new techniques that sounds nice over odd time signature, like 7/4 for example. Thank you.
I did this, and i like the ⅞ ones the best... (3+2+2)
This was fun to watch!
The 80-20 rule, or Pareto principle, suggests that we get most of the necessary stuff done in the shortest while (80% done in 20% of the time). Case in point: you backtracked more on the longest exercise of the three. Maybe your optimal point is around the 20-minute mark? I certainly liked your 10-minute result the best of the three! 🙂
Another thing: the 1:10:60 exercise has disproportionate ratios (10, 6) between the durations of its "stages". Maybe half an order of magnitude (about 3) between stages would work better, e.g. 1:3.5:10:35 over four stages? Just a thought!
Wow! I love your honesty and channel!
Thank you!!
Awesome, maybe you can do that with other useful musical concepts too like ascending/descending suspensions, episodes, etc.
Yes! 😃
I wish I could slow my train of thought to be able to compose in such a lineal fashion. My process is nowhere near as procedual as this. I begin with a particular scale I want to explore, this leads to several keys I find interesting. I spent about a week exploring these scales & keys, chords, extentions & inversions...eventually a short melody line, or several emerge. After I am comfortable with the scale, keys, melody lines & feel (just bits & pieces), I would wake up one morning, or at a random time during the day. Sit at the piano without any specific plan and EVERYTHING just comes out like a torrent. All together at once in about 10 to 15 mins in one sitting, one take. I then listen to the recording for about a day, then the next day, I wake up early, fire up my DAW & arrange it into the fully formed, final Idea. From the point on, I can finetune, revisit, polish, etc. but the idea is already fully formed. One curious note: I have ZERO recollection of the process by which the final idea (the initial recording) emerges. I remember the time immediately before, and immediately after, but NEVER the actual moment.
Great info! I’ve been playing for 2 years and finally able to perform! Thanks for helping me achieve my musical goals.
😄🙏🏻
1:40 she just casually played a scale with a pen in her fingers… 🤯
YAY! finally a video about you composing.... i really wanted to see how you compose since you really know lots of styles of different composers, AND EVEN MADE HAPPY BIRTHDAY IN EACH STYLE thats amazing.... i would really like to see your own composition in the future videos!
If you ever do this again you should try to put a bunch of different genres in like a hat or something then whatever you pick you have to compose a quick piece based on that genre.
Might try that one day !
I am adapting the first 1 min exercise to practice scales on guitar.Beautiful work! Thanks
Very beautiful progressions.
Congratulations for this great exercise!
I have a proposal for a challenge of the same type.
A composition in 1min, 10min and 1hour but oriented on the musical form and not the difficulty.
The goal is to do a small piece instead of an exercise.
Thank you so much for all these videos!
You're amazing! I hope you can inspire more classical musicians to compose new music!
Thank you kindly !
Not gonna lie, I 👍 a Nahre Sol vid before it even starts playing.
You’re very kind, thank you!!
@@NahreSol 🐼♥️🎹
Thank you for your dedication and generosity.
wonderful video. A real Behind the scenes look at composing with time constraints. Interesting experiment.
Thank you!
I'm a huge fan and as soon as I saw the word "piano" I had to 👍🏼 it first! (I'm a composer too and currently doing a monthly piano music composition series on my channel :) I love your 2nd and 3rd pieces! So much brilliance (and nostalgia) in such popular chord progressions😍 thanks for the great video as always!
Cool challenge. The ten minute version sounds so much like Bach. I see where he gets his ideas
Thank you!
Hi Nahre, big fan! I was wondering about how you go about memorizing pieces on the piano - is it mainly muscle memory, or do you also try to figure out the music theory behind a piece, like the chords in each measure? I find that I lack muscle memory for slower pieces and so have had trouble consistently memorizing them. Thanks!
It’s usually a combination of both, but relying more on sound memory - then muscle memory (they go hand in hand most times), and then music theory to reinforce.
I love your videos! Thank you Nahre.
Thank you!!
Thanks, I've learned a lot from this video! And in a quite entertaining way.
Beautiful, Nahre! You play so well with a pencil in your hand!
I took a few lessons from a piano teacher who often played with a cigar between his fingers.
It's something to aspire to, but I guess you have to work up to that. :-)
Fantastic, as usual.
Your videos never fail to impress and captivate me.
This channel is wonderful. Thank you Nahre.
sounds like Michel Legrand !!! love it !
This was so fun omg please make more of these :D
☺️🙏🏻 thank you
TH-cam was so dry today but u saved it for me . Thank you 😊
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Welp! This just blows my, "I have no interesting piano exercises so no need to practice" excuse right out of the water.
😁😁😁
Cool I thought that circle of fifth was just for jazz. Thank!!! Was fun !!!
Beautiful playing. I wondered who "invented" the 1, 10, 60 minutes challenge, but didn't get farther than Annique of YT channel Heart of the Keys in 2020. Not Pomodoro.
I don’t know! I should have mentioned her channel here in the video but I also understood that this challenge has been around, especially in the art community farther back, so the intro was kept short and goes straight into the video.
@@NahreSol - Appreciated. She's probably not the original inventor and the notion of a,b,c time intervals (where a,b,c are >0 integers and b>a, c>b) was already out there. Still, I wonder if the JFDI 1st minute in her videos are the way to go (I made the point elsewhere before). Let's say, someone wants to play a Mazurka by FC and doesn't know this is a reference to a folk dance from the Polish Mazur province that is syncopated to the 2nd or 3rd beat. Seems to me that is important >before< the first minute. It also sheds a light on the tempo - irrespective of the Italian word on top - as a group of folk dancers must be able to dance to the music. FC played it in the Paris salons to his lady fans and there likely was no dancing, but sitting in a chair, the ladies must have felt, and dreamt of, the dance. And it underlines FC's obsession with a steady left hand - if you ever played for live dancers then you know the if-looks-could-kill looks they give a musician when they are the slightest bit off-beat. The exception to that being when the musician(s) slow down in a controlled gradual way or speed up like that and the dancers now are challenged into this play with the musicians. Or we may feel that "nocturne" comes out of the blue, first with an Anglo-Saxon composer. But we forget the word is the Latinized form of the German word Nachtmusik and that's the word that was used for Saint JS Bach's secular evening performances in frowned upon cafés (that served coffee - his era's red bull) and that's also Mozart's "Eine kleine". However, the spirit of enlightenment, modern prose and poetry of FC's time, his father being French, having grown up in Poland all will add to his storytelling - and the question to me is if a performer can extract that from reading the notes. But, it may be plain simple and intuitive and then I am what the Gerries call "hineininterpretieren" reading into it.
@@NahreSol It's been a thing for years, don't worry
Hi Nahre, Do you give video lessons by chance? I love all your videos. I just need some fine tuning and more sense of direction. I love the technique exercises and how you apply them into songs etc. Do you have books or sheet music or a catalog I can look at? I also love how you can take a song and play it in any style. I wish I could learn more about that.
Thanks, Lynn Wagner
I still have practice exercises and mini compositions from videos years ago play through my head
😊🙏🏻
Amazing and fun content like always which is way you're a true joy and treasure!
Thank you!
Since I don't love so much partita 5 (the other pieces after the 1° are little bit boring) but 2 (for ❤️) and 4 (obviously played by GG in 1981) you inspired me to compose another prelude (my 7th for now) and I think that you can do a playlist in which you listen classical masterpiece and the you play some compositional ideas to teach by pratice the composition (obviously if you want to add in your project of videos 🤗) or also music theory focusing on rhytm theory
As you "compose", you chose a key and start playing. It was beautiful but I wondered if you start with a notion of a mood, emotion, or story when you start playing.
It was rather clinical, it being for a technique exercise … but great point :) some of my other videos have more of this angle in mind
Thank you Nahre! I was wondering if you could share a picture of the written notes you were taking as you composed? I’d love to get some tips on how to capture sketches quickly to progress them while keeping them in memory.
I wish we could have spent more time analyzing what is happening in the exercise after you created it. Sounds good though!
Will keep that in mind next time!
While I was seeing you breaking your head against time I was able to recall harmony class
I'd love to take a few of my students to see you perform. Have any gigs coming up in LA?
I never thought that I'd be correcting your music theory, Nahre. But a diminished seventh chord has a double flat seventh, because that is the seventh note in the diminished scale. This is not the same as a half diminished chord, comprising a diminished triad with a minor seventh, which is the chord that you're playing at 0:32. However, I was also taught this incorrectly years ago.
I absolutely love the 10 minute.
Thank you!
Lol Same here, not a fan of octaves! 🤭 Love these composition exercises! Would try them out myself! 🥰
Thank you!!
Superb Ma'am
Love Your Playing
Thanks
I love your voice..very nice
I really like your channel, very original compared to everything out there :-) I have a kind of semi off topic question though...I notice your lights in the background, Ive been struggling to find a good light that would give me natural light and not too much reflections, has this also been an issue for some of you? At 63 i really like to keep my eyesight from getting too tired too fast. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks
Holy cow this channel is rad
Thank you!
Nahre: i want something that is repeatable.
Chopin: good.
From this video, I estimate that Carl Czerny spent approx. 1.5 minutes per exercise.
😂
Gracias.
🎶🎵But, When I Was Down...I Was Your Clown...Right From The Start...I Gave You My Heart.🎵🎶🤣🤣🤣
I'm still trying to get your warmups together. Got to work at it.
😊🙏🏻
Love these 🤩
Thank you!!
How to make a minimalist piano composition, can you give more detailed information, we are waiting for a new video about chords and melodies
Can you play alfred cortot rational principles of piano technique?
Will keep in mind. Corton was a genius!
@@NahreSol It would be great if you could share it with us after you steal it.
Your videos are intimidating for me (still more like a beginner, than like a pro). Could you please slow down?? :D
Great video. You are so talented!
Many thank you’s 🙏🏻
Nahre Sol, I love to see you happy. Just like your last name SUNSHINE.
Thank you ☺️
1:39 playing with the pen, savage!!
😅
thanks nahre! I got one month for free! :D
😄🙏🏻
Exquisite. Love the way you deliver ideas smooth and direct to the point. Seen a Nord piano and Yamaha CP in your videos, Which one do you suggest more for a studio recording?
Thank you! I suggest Yamaha CP, I really love that keyboard
@@NahreSol I think i’ll get one once Yamaha supplies return back to normal again, would be a good addition as an 88key beside my korg wavestate synth.
Awesome idea for a video👏
I take 10:45 m watching nahre s face instead of looking at what she's teaching us🕵🕵🕵shame one me😂
✨👌🏼
Super!
Thank you!
With that cycle limitation, it's tough not to write something that doesn't sound like Fly Me to the Moon or Autumn Leaves or I Will Survive...
i am always confusing why you take the F chord and not the F# chord ;-) fun fact is if you take C G d a b F# you have the lydian scale... ;-)
@Heart Of The Keys
I like Robert Rønnes' bassoon studies.
Knowing to be talented :)
Can you play all cortot technical exercies?
sounds a lot like fly me to the moon lmao
I love you.
I really love your content but most of the time I feel like it is unreachable because you just play a fast version and rarely a slow to let your amateur audience the time to get it
So it would be awesome if for your future content you could make a version where you play slowly before play at normal speed 🙂
Thank you for your video your channel is awesome 🙂
