Etude Appassionata

Hi, this is my first advanced piano solo composition . Would love some feedback. Thank you.

Hello @Jackie and welcome to the forum!

The accompaniment figurations in this sometimes remind me of Chopin's Revolutionary Etude (the retransitition at 1:58 especially).  I personally enjoyed the waltz like middle section the most - your harmony is very romantic and builds tension and emotion beautifully.  The long leading melodic line is also very passionate.  It only lets up into a little sweetness in the middle section which I really love.  Thanks for sharing this wonderful piece!  Great performance as well!

Thank you so much, Peter. Yes, I wrote it as a preparatory Etude for the Revolutiinary.

Hi @Jackie,

Welcome to the forum!

Very nice playing! The piece looks not too easy to play with! Even though the piece is quite similar to Chopin’s Revolutionary Etude, I quite like the energy in it. Thx for sharing and thx for joining!

You are a phenomenal pianist. You're one of those players that could move me playing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. 

We'd love to see a score if you use notation software! If not, no biggie, your performance is incredible. You seem like you have a lot to offer our community, so I'm eager to hear your advice to the piano compositions submitted here. 

Welcome, and thanks for sharing!

Very nice piece and very well played! I agree that it can be suitable as a preparatory exercise for the revolutionary etude of Chopin.  But your composition stands alone as a wonderful, very coherent piece of music. Congratulations!  I would be glad if you could also add the score.

A lot of energy, really a nice piece, and well executed, congrats and thanks for sharing!
