Hi everybody!
This is the final result of my first attempt writing a sonata (2018).
The intention behind this piece was to write something simple/pleasing to the ear and wrap it into a sonata form. The creation process took nearly 6 months from start to finish.

![A Bu - Piano Sonata No. 1 "Pinus" [with score]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/UvkCtEAOQXo/mqdefault.jpg)
I must admit, I clicked on this with extreme skepticism. Gosh, how surprised I was to find a beautiful, melodic highly textured piece. With flavours of Scriabin and late romantic piano works. Please, sir. Continue composing, the world needs a revival. Thank you!
Lovely writing! Great work.
This world-class 21st Century Debussy-ish inspired to my ears. Sehr wunderbare ❤
Stunning work. I hardly see original compositions that I’m compelled to compliment, but this absolutely deserves the praise.
Absolutely beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
i want to play this so bad but those inner triplets are making me rethink my ability as a pianist. amazing work
Very rich and colorful piece. Wanted to listen in for a few bars and ended up enjoying the whole thing.
For me it had touches of Ravel, Scriabin, Kingdom Hearts (lol) and even a little bit of Prokofiev (in the beautiful chromaticly modulating runs).
Thank you so much for this!
Это звучит просто невероятно... Такое количество разных голосов и тем и такое изящество в каждом из них... Я просто восхищаюсь этим произведением с самого первого раза, как наткнулась на него в рекомендациях, и теперь время от времени возвращаюсь и переслушиваю его, когда хочу отпустить свои тревоги и переживания. Спасибо большое Вам, что делитесь своим искусством с другими людьми и даете возможность окунуться в тот мир, который Вы создаете. Это целая картина, в которую хочется нырнуть с головой. (И да, я удивлена, что здесь это будет первым комментарием на русском))
Спасибо за теплые слова☺
Excellent sense of thematic development and cogency. Glad this popped up in my recommended. God bless you and may you keep writing stunning works such as these.
Pretty dope to witness the come up of a genius
Respect!!!!!! 🔥You are the real deal!
Very beautiful Music which indeed reminds of walking through a paradise garden with many plants and flowers, lights and shadows
and water!Thanks for sharing !
Colourful, soaring, outstandingly well-crafted, your work is criminally underrated ! Bravo !
Ooooooo I just came across this and I couldn't help but listen until the very end. I absolutely love all the colours and textures in this intricate original romantic piece of yours! ❤
So much beauty in this world. Thank you for sharing yours
WOOOOOW! this is instantly beautiful and so wonderfully composed. Bravo!
What a way to infuse a traditional form with a modern sound! Delightful.
I only wish the sonata form was a bit easier to grasp from the first listen. That exposition is damn eventful!
Beautiful, you've nailed the polyrhythmic contrasts between the triplet figure and Theme A. harmonically, it's excellent and a great model of what could be considered cotemporary impression.
And so well played
A big THANK YOU, Nik. I totally enjoyed the trip.
Now it may seem anachronistic to say this but feeling the real sonata structure in a contemporary piece is exhilarating. At some point I even thought he is going to crack a fugato, or even a fugue" 😉 Your subjects would be strong enough for this !
Now about how your work sounds like, I will not go there and stick to the Chinese saying "he who compares, depreciates" 😅 but of course i would concur to all the references mentioned before me if I had, too. All well deserved. Keep composing and sharing ❤. BC
So glad I clicked on this.
It's very beautiful.
Absolutely love it. As a classically-trained pianist who reveres the legendary composers of the past, it is such a damn breath of fresh air to hear a new piece written that’s actually enjoyable to listen to from start to finish. I hope to one day also compose a sonata (I never had university musical training just a private teacher) but have to study composition on my own. Wouldn’t mind some help! 😆 but please keep composing. Will definitely anticipate your next work
Awesome composition. I subscribed almost instantly
Me too! ❤
Beautiful music Nik!!
Continue to compose please.......
This is gorgeous~
Comparing to other pieces written in the modern times that I’ve heard, only yours I would call a true piano composition. Well done, you inspire me :)
i usually think of contemporary music as bland but this was insanely good
Absolutely gorgeous piece! I am so impressed and excited to say that I will be learning this as my next project! Bravo!
Your piece incorporates almost everything that's missing in most modern music. Mystery, elegance, originality.
I liked it, but I think it would be nice if there was a slow, meditative section in the middle and a fast, fiery coda
kompositorisch & auch spielerisch hohe Klasse, Dankeschön.
Sehr gut gesagt
Beautiful piano sonata. Congratulations from Brazil!
loved it, colourful, rich, emotional. Amazing job!
Love this. Really beautiful piece.
Very powerful, colourful, polyphonic and majestic sonata! Bravo!!🎵🎹🎧😎
It evoked a kind of mistic emotion. Truly a romantic piece
Magnifique
Wonderful
Lush! Such a beautiful work that is transportive and reflective! Thank you for sharing! ❤️
😍😍👏👏👏👏Congratulations! Really Beautiful!
Beautiful, beautiful work! Keep it going! :))
Top notch!
What an amazing masterpiece...
For a moment it felt like I was in a dream O_O
Beautiful!
It is only one word to describe this.... FUNTASTICCCC...
Love it!
This is really beautiful!
beautiful
This is amazing!
Very nice!
Fantastic work, I love your late romantic/ impressionistic style! The first measures remind me of some film company intro, I can't remember which one, haha
This is so good brother
This is a beautiful work that I’ll be emulating in my own works. Good work from another fellow composer.
This is really great! Makes me want to play it!
great work!! keep going!!
this is so beautiful, and inspiring
Wow, what a marvelous piece ! It evokes the sound world of Rachmaninov, Godowsky and early Scriabin yet does not sound like pastiche. Sure-footed and consistently engaging writing without so much as a weak or dull moment. Sumptuous sonorities, partly helped by your choice of keys. BRAVO, and keep up the good work ! I'll have to choice but to subscribe to your channel now 🙂
Thank you!
incredible! You sir, have earned a sub.
Amazing piece!!!!!
Would love to learn this
Wow, this is so great man. Im defenitly getting inspired by this
Cool cool🎉
wow thats really impressive! I love the harmonic progression and the simple but really nice counterpoint!
Wow😮 Whoa🙌🏽🔥
This shows a lot of promise. Keep writing!
Wow! Wonderful and worth my time. As a fellow composer, I admire this very much.
Very pretty. As the young gens say it, it’s aesthetic. 👌🏼
Ravishing and expertly writen music :)
Nice impressionist ambiance
This is amazing! I am a new composer and you have inspired me
Estoy realmente extasiada con lo que acabo de escuchar, esa manera de transitar por tonalidades y que todo suene tan natural, tan hermoso. Estoy muy entusiasmada por escuchar más obras tuyas y créeme que esta obra la compartiré con mis compañeros músicos. felicidades.
I'm really ecstatic with what I just heard, that way of going through tonalities and that everything sounds so natural, so beautiful. I am very excited to hear more of your works and believe me that I will share this work with my fellow musicians. congratulations.
I like the andante dramatico section a lot. It's good. I was a bit worried it would just sound like video game music with the title. Instead I'm very pleasantly surprised. Nice polyrhythms.
Phenomenal! Structurally and dramatically exceedingly well crafted. Beautiful harmonies and transitions between sections and motifs. Also great playback, could pass as actual playing!
I thought you were someone else on another channel that I didn't want. How wrong I was!
Help! I want to get back on your YT channel. Your music is compelling, and I want your channel back!
I wish I'm more comfortable writing these more (so-called) "French" harmonies instead on clinging on the (so-called) "German" composer styles...
Knowing the French language definitely helps. French is a language of vowel, German is a language of consonant, the language is reflected in the music.
@@PieInTheSky9 indeed. Listen to the beautiful French Army choirs!
The first theme is so beautiful. Love the way the lines overlap. Your lines are so clear and sing on their own so beautifully, a lot of times the music I write sounds muddy because of the business of voicings and a lack of clear direction of inner lines. I would love for you to explore denser harmony inside your lines. I think it could add depth to some of the lines in places. Keep up the good work, looking forward to see more of what you produce in the future!
Thank you! Well, adding more density and working with it definitely sounds enticing. But I don't know where to find motivation for that without arrogantly butchering the initial melody and harmonic structure that comes out in the creative process. I do have other pieces with denser harmonies and complex counterpoint that I'll be posting soon however
Beautiful! right hand reminds me sometimes of Godowsky Le Cygne
wow youve really hit the nail on the head with this one i got a bit emotional around 3:00 and 7:40 was especially moving
This is so original (and good, but I think I don't have to point this out...), and sometimes, it slightly touches on Ravel. Moments that very softly tickled my brain while listening. A slight inspiration that is not unoriginal but quite the oposite. Just like Mozart looked at Handel for some moments of his Works.
i sense mysterium
Will you be uploading this on Spotify ? Loved the composition
Yes, it will be on Spotify very soon
will you ever upload that F# sonata you uploaded on MS long ago?
Yes! Though it needs some minor rework and a brand new recording. Thank you for mentioning it. My apologies for the deleted MS and SoundCloud accounts.
💫🌹🎶🌹💫yeah, really nice! I know you said you're self-taught as composer; but you're well taught in theory & pianoforte pedagogy. So, where'd you study? Ithaca College, Mansfield, Berkeley?
Thank you! I studied in a small town of Kazakhstan, in a college full of talented teachers. Although this college is known for pushing its students to their limits, I was lucky enough to be surrounded by those ambitious teachers and learn their ways which include strong discipline and attention to detail :)
Reminds me of Brahms
Hello! I really appreciated this composition; that is the style I like the most (complex in harmony but simple and sweet in the melody). What program do you use to make a video like this? It looks so professional, and it would be so useful for me to have it
Hi! Thank you. I use Sony Vegas Pro to make these videos. There's a bit of a learning curve though, but it is worth it!
😍
😮
This is a masterpiece! What piano VST are you using?
Thank you! Synthogy Ivory II Grand Pianos + a little EQ tweaking
@@nikriedel Can you PLEASE please share how you came up with this melody and the harmonies and chose the title? I am struggling with writer's block and hearing these peices is soothing. Thanks for sharing
Hope you can share nay insights on how you came up with this melody or melodies in general.
@@leif1075 I don't really know how to answer this honestly. All I had in my mind is the intention to write something beautiful and soothing with a clear goal to finish the project (even if I'll be struggling with self-doubt and tempted to quit). The music came out of nowhere, and the rest was just letting my body and intuition do the work without getting in the way too much. There was a battle in my mind however. It was using my own theoretical knowledge to sabotage and mess with the project so it would't sound the way I wanted. I won the battle because I knew that will happen.
So, I thought if I can predict my sabotaging behavior and manage it through emotional regulation and self-awareness, I can navigate my creative blocks without feeing stuck in one place.
Could I purchase a score of this from you? I love it ❤
Sure, check the description :)
Hoy can I get de sheet music?? 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Very beautiful work 🙌🏻👏🏻💕
Thank you! Check the description🙂
May i ask, what is that beautifull chord progression on 3:20 where it modulates to the sharps?
Bb minor: VI - IV - I - minor V, VI - VII - Alternative VI (F# min/A, since there's no Gb minor), and then the same sequence in C#minor. The F# chord created a simple opening to modulate into the sharps. I chose C# because it sounds interesting in relation to the Db major/Bb minor axis. It kind of creates a subtle yet noticable contrast between the keys and doesn't mess with the ear too much🙂
I love it! Is it a recordingn of you playing? Or if it is made by software, which did you use?
Thank you! It's a midi written from scratch using FL Studio. Eeach measure was automated individually (tempo & dynamics) to imitate human playing. I do midis because I don't have access to a piano.
@@nikriedel love it! It came up beautiful
I’m currently beginning to learn composing and orchestrating, may i ask you if i can try to orchestrate this piece? As i said i’m a beginner and i don’t even know if i will actually finish it but i would be really happy to try
@@marcocarellario6810 Sure! You have my permission. If you don't have the score, contact me: nikriedel11@gmail.com
@@nikriedeli sent you a mail 😄
Excellent piece!
Btw, do you have perfect pitch?
Thank you! No :) I remember being hyped up about perfect pitch, but now I'm just happy with my relative pitch because it gets the job done
@@nikriedel Do you have any tips for writing long piece like this?
Such a beautiful piece! I'd love to learn it! But there's no price listed on paypal.
Thank you! Description updated.
@@nikriedel payment sent🙂
What program do you use to write your pieces?
FL Studio & MuseScore 3.6
Fucking beautiful jesus christ
La publicidad interrumpe en mitad de la música.
Amazing work
I'd love to learn this piece!
Prokofiev and Debussy share a common descendant and it’s you
You’re a good composer, well done 👏
No he isn't.
@@Whatismusic123 What is the point of losing your time on Internet with comments like these ?
@@Dylonely42 what's the point of losing your time in life supporting, composing and listening to garbage like this?
@@Whatismusic123I have seen you on other videos being similarly arrogant, what is the point?
