Thanks for watching! The following pieces are referenced in the composition:
Ravel Gaspard De La Nuit - Ondine
Liszt Ballade No.2
Kreisler/Rachmaninoff Liebesfreud
Kreisler/Rachmaninoff Liebeslied
Prokofiev Romeo and Juliet - Love Dance
Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No.2
Mahler Symphony No.9
See if you can spot them!

[@jonathanDstrand]

mahler 9 was a nice surprise!

[@Dylonely42]

Liebesfreud and Liebeslied were composed by Kreisler though.

[@Jetthew]

​@@Dylonely42 Thank you for the clarification! The correct reference should be Kreisler/Rachmaninoff's Liebesfreud/Liebeslied, specifically Rachmaninoff's piano rendition of Kreisler's compositions.

Warning: Do not try this at home using an electric piano with an less-than-ideal supporting rack. Playing certain parts of this piece will require exerting a great deal of force on your keyboard. This may or may not result in the toppling of your electric piano, depending on the supporting rack. The composer is not liable to any damages procured in the process.

[@Jetthew]

LMAOOOOOO This is a good inside joke 😂😂🤣🤣
(Also don’t play it if the piano stand is not standing properly)

[@Mofos_of_Metal]

This theme itself is beautiful and a great choice for variations - very well done and the references of all the other pieces work extremely well. I think variations are the ultimate "exercise" for composing because we can combine two pre-existing things and create something new.

[@Jetthew]

Thank you, it was a lot of fun making this!

[@mrwaterlily]

When I heard this piece performed live, it was absolutely beautiful!!!

[@icst4786]

[@benana_3]

Do you have any original compositions? It’s clear you have a decently advanced harmonic knowledge and familiarity with variation form, I’d be excited to see what you’d put out!

[@Jetthew]

Thank you very much! I have a few scrapped original works, and a few finished ones. I might upload some of them on this channel in the future.

[@myless789]

Ok hi actually want to learn this!!! How did you make such a master piece???

[@Jetthew]

Thank you! You can find the link to the score in the description.
Every Christmas I would write a theme and variations on a well-known tune (2021 was Jingle Bells, 2022 was We wish you a merry Christmas). As this is my third year, I guess experience helped :)

[@myless789]

Wow bravo!!! The time really showes. Right now I’m swamped with audition pieces to learn but I’m definitely adding this to my pieces I want to learn wishlist t:)

[@myless789]
