Good morning, or good night (different points of view), I have just recorded a little piece that I composed before you gave me some tips in another topic regarding composition... Unlike my last two productions, this is a piece for solo piano; I built it in a few hours, so it can certainly be developed, elaborated, and reworked.. (things I will learn as soon as I have time).

I hope you like it

I called it part 1 because I have already written the beginning of part 2

All the problems you diagnosed in the other topic

http://www.pianoconcerto.it/forum/index.php?/topic/5088-come-comporre-in-maniera-esatta/

are very clear: ideas that go nowhere, stuck to one another without any logic. It is felt that you reason with your hands, that your hands remember Rachmaninov Liszt Beethoven (then at 1:30 who pops up?) and jump gratuitously from one to the other ... And yet I must say that this somewhat absurd and incoherent thing pleases me more than so much academia. Only advice (if I may): try to write music away from the piano, try to work with your imagination.

Hi Red, I usually always start pieces away from the piano, but then, once started, I stay at the piano and finish them there.

To give you an idea, this composition was born one evening when, having my PC next to the window, I turn my gaze and looking at the starry sky, the initial idea forms in my mind which is very calm, so I go to the piano and write it down but unfortunately once I am in front of the piano it is a magnet, it doesn't let me leave anymore; if I start something I have the conviction that I must finish it, so I get carried away (this is what happens every time, I start from an idea that came to me indeed away from the piano but I always end up there, in a hurry to finish)

PS: coincidentally you mentioned my favorite composers

In fact, I think pianothor's topic is also the result of some observations received in other topics regarding his pieces:

In fact, this old style from the '80s has become a bit tiresome ... but it is an academic language that allows you to get your diploma, oops, your degree
