Hi Meliton, I'll say the same thing as I said when I listened it for the first time, if there's a public performance of this piece, I will stand up and applaud loudly and enthusiastically.
Thank you!
I will clap along to the piece also 💪
Yeah this was beautiful.
@@maxfreeney7943 Nah that is not acceptable behaviour.
@@KeenBulldozerReal lol
If you were born in the right era you would have been celebrated. I love your contrasting tones throughout the piece
I have hope that such celebration is ahead for this composer, truly remarkable works.
@@clhanon31415 Meliton has an amazing foundation for a future composition career with a more progressive style. Even with this quasi romantic style he is innovating.
@@clhanon31415 Yeah I think he could be one of the greats of our time if he keeps going. I don't think I've really seen any other contemporary composers at this level? Classical music is in such dire straits and Soupelin seems to be picking up right before the insanity began (i.e. before Schonberg's rubbish that imo really ended our 300 year golden age of classical music)
@@KeenBulldozer I recommend you listen to scriabin. He was completely disconnected from all the rubbish of his time and created incredible music off of the progress of chopin. I recommend you check out his waltz op. 1 nocturnes op. 5, mazurka op 25 no 2, waltz op 38, and sonata 10.
@@LoquaciousLemonade popularity and quality are seperate aspects and the former relies on taste. He certainly would not have been popular during that time. Especially not at the level of liszt.
As a fellow composer, i want to congratulate you. This is the first of such ‚youtube composer‘ works i actually enjoyed
When I was young and walking along some sandy dunes with my father and it began to rain. I took my shoes off to feel the sand. As the rain picked up, my father led me by the hand and I knew something was wrong. We ran through the forest as trees began to shake and the wind became deafening, cracks and creaks of the wood as the downpour started to resemble a waterfall rather than rain. A tree fell behind me in the path and I slipped and scrambled, my shoes left behind.
We got to a small shelter with other people in the town where we stayed overnight. It was a hurricane that I was at the center of, barefoot. And something about that gives me a very odd hope. Like this piece. Thank you.
Did this actually happen - because 😮
As a 19 who has an immense passion for piano and music, this channel is a huge inspiration for me. To see that you’re just 24 years old and that you’re doing exactly what I’m aiming to do in the next years gives me huge admiration for you and also hope for myself. Continue doing what you’re doing! You’re one of a kind
I have nothing more to say than everything you compose is perfect to my taste. I am blind so I can't see your scores, but I have listened to all the works that you've uploaded, and you're one of the Composers that give me hope that there are still great music from composers in the present time. I look forward to listen to every of your composition, so keep them coming.
🇻🇳
Thank you very much! I am sincerely grateful for the encouragement and support you have given me.
I'm just a bit curious... if you don't mind. Where are you in the world? I thought everyone in the State is sleeping by this time?
I currently live on the West Coast of the United States. At the moment of this reply, the time here is around midnight.
This channel is a gem and you are a rare breed.
Thank you, Jordie!
i found this song in the wee hours of the morning. still trying to sleep after a successful first birthday party since i went through a difficult life-saving medical procedure that has kept me housebound since march. thank you for a lullaby that feels as triumphant as i do.
WTF … a little carried away????? The polyrhythms are just insane! Chopin would be proud. Amazing.
Holy. That's a *little* different than your usual style. I love how you went from early romantic/8bit/ragtimes to a full rachmaninov/early scriabin style. Utterly majestic. Masterpiece, nothing less!
Thank you, Theo!
My overall style has not changed. This particular piece is a deliberate attempt to honor a composer whose idiom is different than my own.
ORNSTEIN MENTIONED. love his signature style and I am so happy someone else felt inspired to replicate it
i loved this so much u dont understand
2:34 breathtaking chord progression!
Reminds me of Rachmaninoff
I hadn't read the piece's subtitle yet when I was thinking "wow, this sounds a whole lot like Ornstein". Really nice composition!
I am glad you noticed!
Thanks. Stunning. Powerful. Ingenious. There aren't enough superlatives.
Thank you so much for supporting my work!
an orchestrated version would be so tasty i think
Really amazing stuff. And especially the piano it’s being played on actually fits it well I argue.
It has that vintage feeling, like you’re listening to one of the old piano recordings of one of the Russian greats from the early 1900’s.
Thank you very much!
By the way, @@MelitonSoupelin, how old is your piano?
I would LOVE to see some of the ideas of the piece in a piano concerto, the strength of some passages is so intence I'd fit indefinetly well after a long and convoluted developing section. You rock brother
Wow wow wow! Very exquisite piece indeed. I am glad you got "carried away". I enjoy the "internal voices" which remind me of Chopin's waltz in D flat major. Bravo!
Wow, this is amazing! You really nailed Ornstein's idioms. This is really reminiscent of his 'Waltz No. 7'. I'm so glad you chose to write in this style, Ornstein is such a great composer, please write more!
Thank you!
One day im gonna tell my kids: yes, i remember when he started his journey and one time i listened to his piece 11 hours after it was released🙏 Seriously amazing, bravo👏👏👏
The part from 2:24-3:34 sounds so divinely beautiful and uplifting. I can’t even fully express how it made me feel. And the voicing of your playing is just perfectly expressive. Beautiful, beautiful job Meliton!
Thank you, Augie!
Your command of harmony is great! More modern composers should have a strong grip of "traditional" harmony. A lot of them too engrossed in the newer things, not to say that it is a bad thing, but they lack the "basics" and skip just because "traditional harmony's potential has already been exhausted".
This is gorgeous and I love and I am so glad there are people out there making music with chords and fantastic rolling undercurrents of eleventuplets and so so many octaves seriously this is actually amazing jesus christ holy shit i had a very exhausting day but this gives me hope of maybe dying in bed as the down blanket catches in an odd occurrence of spontaneous combustion and being reborn as something covered in feathers with light bones

I see you with your spicy baroque-like ornaments.
The richness and musical complexity and depth of the composition is high, much praise from a fellow composer.
Thank you, Raymond!
The composition is so good I'm debating on learning it! Your dynamics were perfect, and it's beautiful and fast B)
Thank you!
This definitely should be the opening/closing song for an Anime from Ghibli Studio. It is majestic! This is the first time I stumbled over one of your pieces and it is wonderful! Thank you
How blissfully melodic yet challenging! I love your work! Each new work is yet another masterpiece. Your God given talent is sooooo refreshing and needed. Thank you for sharing!
❤️
my favorite of your pieces so far. really astonishing
Thank you very much!
Yeah this is THE STUFF. Rock on!
🤘
Wow! This is extraordinary Meliton! Absolutely incredible!! It's an entire universe within the space of 4mins 14secs. Speechless!
Thank you so much! I feel delighted to hear that you enjoyed it!
This is one of my favorites from you now lol. I love your composing style I especially love how you hand write everything and play it yourself
Thank you!
For free? this is criminal. Such an amazing composition.
You better start doing concerts and live videos !!! This is magic for our XXI century! Love it and appreciate it, thank you for this beatiful music. 🔥🔥
This is absolutely remarkable. A genius piece of music. You're a true virtuoso.
Thank you, my good sir!
Wow man! This is amazing and jaw-dropping! 😍😍😍 Really2 lovely and wonderful composition!
Thank you very much!
Instant subscription. Please get a little carried away more often.
Thank you very much!
This actually is really a good composition also very well written for the piano, enjoyed listening to it. *applaud*
sounds like uncontrollable chaos
this is incredible!! also you're an amazing pianist, this piece looks terribly difficult. especially all those skrjabinesque groups of 3,4,5 etc simultaneously and sequentially too
Brilliant!!
Hello how are you? I'm a Brazilian interested in enjoying your works and I must say that this waltz is magnificent. I never tire of listening to it. It's breathtaking. (applause)❤
Thank you! You are too kind!
Great composition, loved the creativity! So good this piece.
Beautifully composed AND played! Bravo!
Thank you!
I'm so glad I found your stuff... You really are the most pianistic of composers I've found, your command of the color is so much like what I love about listening to Liszt, it's just a beautiful use of the tool. Fantastic stuff, the composition is obviously impressive, but your understanding for exactly how to play a piano in that way that expresses each note individually, as if you're conducting an orchestra of 88 keys... You have some serious stuff going on here.
Великолепнейшая работа из всех, которые я от вас когда либо слышал. Это просто услада для тонкого и чувственного слушателя. Не перестаю Вами восхищаться
Wow... very great and memorizable melodies. This became my favorite among your pieces! Even I wanted to play this in the future...
Thank you very much!
…yes, you did. How wonderful to be carried away like this 🎉
How do they all rock so hard. Lovely stuff.
This is one of my favourite contemporary pieces, you're an amazing composer.
Excellent composition! You're one talented composer.
Thank you!
Congratulations for your new piece Meliton ! You're really honing your craft from piece to piece, that's impressive.
Love everything about it! As always, great work, Meliton! You're very inspiring
I would say that now you are among my favorite composers, along with Rakov, Ravel, Khachaturian and Babajanyan.
I am honored! I love Rakov as well; his concerti are amazing!
Meliton you are making some gorgeous music. I feel really lucky to be able to hear it, thank you
😃
wow this composition is amazing!
Wow! The arpeggios remind me of his 4th Piano Sonata. You've really captured something special here
Yes ! Incredible, glad to finally hear it properly my friend ❤
Thank you, Bruce!
UN. REAL.
This is just gorgeous.
very happy i got this on my yt feed. makes me want to play piano again
I am glad to hear!
Too good, too many amazing things to begin
Carried away, perhaps, but you stayed well within the realms of the waltz structure. It is a fine piece.
I can see the references to Ornstein, but at the same time it's definitely very much your style! As others have mentioned the inner voices and cascading open lines are really nice to hear, and the triumphant major section in the middle sounded especially good. Really reminds me of great movie soundtracks the way it rises up like you're bursting through the clouds, before sinking back into tension. Might be my favorite so far :)
Also a silly little thing but the opening theme instantly reminded me of the melody of the Grand Narukami Shrine OST that comes in around 0:15 haha (watch?v=SH9Tt6nb2V8) I love the sound of both of them; I think in this case it's a reference to Sonata 4?
Thank you!
The resemblance to Ornstein's Fourth Sonata is coincidental, but may be linked to the general techniques he used in that composition. My main inspiration came from his smaller miniature works, such as the 17 Waltzes.
Lovely to read your handwritten score - it reminds me of Ravel, Debussy & Chopin.
I cannot stop listening to this! Gotta learn it at some point!
So many words have been said here! I will be brief. Especially since I am writing this through a translator. I really liked it! The main theme is so touching! I hear in it the best of Scriabin, perhaps Borodin, and, obviously, Chopin. Keep doing what you are doing!👏👍
What a beautiful piece you created there! Good job and keep it up!❤️👍💪🙏
Just incredible work, bravo. No one else writes music like you do.
Meliton, your work is astounding. You are one of the best modern composers I have heard. Anyway I can donate to you?
Thank you very much! I would appreciate any donations. There is a link in the video description.
Beautiful as always
Thank you!
How did you-? This is beyond beautiful!
Dude this is INSANELY GOOD.
So this is the Leo Ornstein tribute you were mentioning on Discord. I can't say much about the tribute itself since I haven't listened to much Ornstein, but this is a great piece.
It's kinda funny when a piece dedicated to an artist surpasses said dedicatee, it's kinda like chopin's ballade 2's dedication to schumann
Omg i'm actually stunned. theres so much emotion here
Stunning piece and honestly probably the most legible handwritten manuscript I've ever seen hfhdhfhfh 10/10 from me
Thank you!
Wow! This is such an interesting piece!
This has to be my favorite piece of solo piano I've ever heard
GOOSEBUMPS
Honestly, this waltz is so beautiful that tears flowed from my eyes. It is as beautiful as if I were listening to Debussy's Clair de lune for the first time, it is as expressive as Rachmaninoff's Prelude in C-sharp minor, and as emotional as Chopin's nocturnes. Thank you, thank you very much for your wonderful waltz.
BadVal television
Thank you for listening!
Love this!
Thank you!
Beautiful composition, it is reminiscent of Macdowell's fourth Keltic sonata. Never stop composing.
Hi Meliton. I saw one of your vids months ago and got interested in you and your style; I remember the first compositions I listened were interesting but with a lot of things that "could be better", as a piano composer myself. What I want to say is that I'm extremely happy to see that you made a lot of progress in your composition journey, your pieces are getting extremely more interesting and enjoyable to listen, I really hope you're goin to get the recognition you deserve. Keep doin man, bravo from Italy.
my favourite modern composer
This is your best work yet! I love how beautiful this song is, it reminds me of a man walking in the rain at nighttime while everything in the world is happening around him (if that makes sense?). Anyways, this song is amazing, please keep making music like this, and I hope I can learn to play this ❤
I listened to a waltz and got swept away!!! BRAVO!!!
Thank you!
The fact you handwrite and perform your pieces has thoroughly impressed me. Truly underrated!
Phenomenal, as always. I'm really looking forward to the day when I'll be able to buy studio recordings of your work.
Thank you! I sincerely hope to get a good pianist to record these pieces eventually.
@@MelitonSoupelin In the meanwhile have a donation. You should make the button a little more obvious. (I didn't notice it at first!)
@@aadrWow! Thank you! Your support is most appreciated!
Gorgeousss
My first thought was that this was very Lisztian in its passion and its celebration of the piano’s abilities. This doesn’t feel like something that any other instrument could do even half as well. Very raw and impressive recording.
This is great composing
I hope you'll get carried away often !! Beautiful
That’s just the way I would love to compose one day. Congrats, this it absolutely magical.
AMAZING!!! This has so much character!! That echo section is beautifullll, fantastic job! 💛
Thank you!
Please continue to get carried away!!! I love this!!! Have you ever composed for flute or voice? I would love to eventually play a piece of yours!
Thank you!
I have considered writing for voice, but have not yet gotten the chance to write anything for it. As for flute, I may need to learn how to write well for the instrument.
Good shit. Subbed!
It is so amazingly expressive and intricate. Amazing work. You’ll get far
Wow bro this was amazing
Well done!
Thank you, Robert!
For me as a composer, this is very inspirational. You are a genius on the piano. I love those cord sequences and the variation in Key throughout the peace. I do a lot of that kind of thing myself. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Great work. This is my new favourite piece of music since I heard it. I really like how you brought the theme back in C-sharp major as well.
Thank you very much!
1:45 chills
2:54 - 57 for me, amongst many others !
Outstanding! That D major around 2:16 made me very happy :)
