Don’t worry about it at all — and I didn’t take it the wrong way whatsoever. On the contrary, I really want to know how another musician perceives something from a different perspective than my own. Everything you said has a solid basis, and when those ideas make musical sense, they’re absolutely valid. Thank you again! I’d be very happy if you checked out my channel and listened to some of my other works — it would really mean a lot to me.

First of all, thank you so much for taking the time and care to listen to my work so attentively — I truly feel grateful for that. I’m really glad you liked it and appreciated the effort I put into it. Also, thank you very much for your feedback. If you’d like, I can share my own perspective on the points you mentioned. At 2:40, since there was a modulation to B major with the initial theme — and because of its nature, it didn’t really lead anywhere — the only way forward was through a series of modulations, starting with C-sharp minor. Then somehow, in a dynamic way, I had to wage a sort of “battle” of modulations to find my way back to the tonic. From my point of view, that section is actually one of my favorites; it just felt like it needed to happen that way. At 2:49, I wanted to keep that drone note more as a timbral element and to add a more dramatic texture due to the constant alternation between major and minor. From a technical standpoint, you could say it’s nothing particularly special — it’s really more about the color I wanted to convey. In general, I truly enjoy hearing everyone’s perspective and how each person approaches the piece with their own unique viewpoint — it’s very interesting. Once again, thank you, my friend, for your kind words and appreciation. Wishing you all the best!

This piece, to my ears, is truly perfect. Amazing. You managed—through the character you wanted to convey—to create something very special. Stylish, with wonderful and unexpected harmonic progressions. The transition to the slow section was dramatic and surprising. Overall, an outstanding piece. You’re a remarkable composer

Exactly as you say, my dear friend. This kind of music and mood is what truly expresses me. That’s my temperament as a person, and it naturally comes out in my music.

Dear Henry, First of all, I’m glad to see you again after such a long time, and I always look forward to hearing your new compositions, which are truly remarkable. Thank you very much for your kind words. From a technical point of view, I consider this sonata to be my best work so far. As for the modulations — being the greatest admirer of Schubert, who along with Mozart is my favorite composer — moving from one tonality to another is something that haunts me in a pleasant way, of course, and I feel it’s one of the great tricks that helps me evolve each time. This sonata may be in C minor, but it carries a touch more of the major mode — and when it returns to the minor, that minor character is heard even more intensely. Personally, I tend to feel the minor quality more strongly when it emerges within a major key rather than purely in a minor one. I don’t know, maybe that sounds unorthodox or strange, but that’s the feeling it gives me. Once again, thank you for your kind words.

Hello again, my friends. Here is the latest sonata in Binary form that I’ve written. From a technical point of view, I believe it’s my best one, and I feel quite happy about it. Musically, like every piece, it’s different and has its own beauty. I hope you like it.

This is incredible. So inspired and perfect structured. Well done my dear Henry. 👏

Thank you so much again for your nice words. Im doing my best and making the music that express myself. Thanks again .

Hello my dear friend. Thank you so much that you like my music. The piano is VST from pianoteq8. Here I use petrof mistral. So I recorded myself with pianoteq8 plugin. So what you are hearing is me playing and use pianoteq8 sounds.

Thank you my friend 🙏

Nice piece my friend. I like your counterpoint. Well done

Here another of my latest compositions. One of my favorite pieces… The title Echoes may be relevant, but I felt that even though the piece is short, it carries dynamics with alternating crescendos and decrescendos, recurring motifs, imitations, and with its intense character in C-sharp minor it can justify the title. In any case, regardless of the title, I have a special fondness for this piece, and it fully expresses my musical state of mind. I hope you enjoy it.

I thank you so much for your wonderful words, and I’m the happiest person when my music sparks interest in the listener and they enjoy it. The truth is, I considered it my own innovation to take the Binary form and combine it with all of my influences. At first, I wondered how it would fit, but in the end, it worked out perfectly and it’s generally the style that suits me. Once again, thank you, and I’m incredibly glad you enjoyed it.

"Thank you so much, I’m really glad you liked it. In the past few years, I had really explored his sonatas and I was blown away by how incredibly stylish and ahead of his time they were. He truly became the greatest source of inspiration for me. So far, I’ve written 20 sonatas in this style, although in most of them there’s a mix of Scarlatti, Mozart, and Schubert. But the combination left me amazed by the result."

Here is one of my favorite sonatas in binary form, inspired by the colossal Scarlatti, who is also the reason I started composing music systematically over the past two years. It’s a blend of Scarlatti’s style but also includes elements from other classical composers. A very playful sonata with quite a few unexpected modulations that make it even more humorous… I hope you enjoy it.
