    Honestly, you remind me so much of Yiruma with your arranging style. You're an incredible pianist and it feels as if Piano is a casual occupation for you yet you exude levels above what I personally experience. So glad to have met you since day one.

    you’re a full-on composer
    the second piece in particular made me feel emotions easily rivaling those of greats like chopin and rachmaninoff

    How to make sad piano music? Now this is my kind of content. I'm definitely going to watch this tomorrow!
    Edit: Just watched it. These pieces were beautiful. I really enjoyed this video. I liked how you explained everything like you were actually teaching us. I hope that you will make more videos like this. I would love to see "How to make happy music" video. Looking forward to next Friday! 😁

    Thank you for sharing your compositions, they're truly gorgeous. I'm stunned by the climax in your icicle piece.
    There are so many causes to sadness but music like yours eats away at the nuances and just allows the listener to take in the emotion itself without dwelling on what led up to that sadness, and in the end that helps so much.

  • @kenneth1767
    @kenneth1767 Před rokem +9

    Brilliant. I loved the first composition. I hope you'll make a part 2, 3 etc for this melancholic brooding, and reveal more methods for extracting the emotions.

    You inspire me! I love both of these pieces. They are so beautiful and reach the emotions, and they seem to tell stories and paint vivid imagery. Thank you! I hope someday to be able to compose music as well as you. (^^)

  • @alexiacerwinskipierce8114

    It, to me, sounds very lonely, but also optimistic. For some reason the scene in forest Gump with him sitting g alone on the park bench pops into my head and I've no idea why.... funny how music can be interpreted differently by different people. Beautiful piece ❤️ second one is gorgeous, and definitely my favorite of the 2.

    It was light outside for the first 40 seconds of the video) We all've been there - you start working, then got distracted and it's suddenly late evening already so gotta hurry up and finish everything in 30 minutes.
    Good stuff anyway, thanks! For a self-taught pianist like me it a pleasure to hear some tips and advices on composing and music theory from a professional.

    hey ive been a big fan of yours recently (binged through your videos lol). ive really wanted to play the piano since i was a kid but the circumstances werent really in my favor. however now i have finally decided that im going to join piano classes. i want to be able to play just as good as you do.
    some questions:
    for how long have you been playing the piano?
    did you ever felt so frustrated that you wanted to quit playing the piano?
    for how long do you practice on average?
    how long did it take for you to get the hang of the basics?
    anyways now im really determined to be able to play the piano and btw this video was really awesome.

  • @francovilla4205

    Why do you use abstract sentences for dynamic cues rather than actual dynamic markings? Is it because you only ever plan to play it yourself, or that you enjoy leaving it much more up to the interpretation?
