Musical Moment in B major

Hello again, my dear friends,

Here is another piece I wrote yesterday. Music of the moment. It’s one of those inspirations where you sit at the piano and it just comes out all at once, and I must say I truly loved this particular piece. Very Schubert-like, as always, but I believe I’ve also added my own touch. I hope you enjoy it.

Beautiful.  The spirit of Schubert certainly flows through you but still distinct, not just a mere pastiche.  Well done!

“Thank you so much, my dear. On the one hand, I feel blessed that I can capture the style, but on the other hand, I feel locked in. Schubert is my soul – he influences me incredibly. Still, I try each time to add something of my own, some small inventions of mine. Little by little, more and more. Finding your own voice is the hardest thing of all. In any case, I am very satisfied with my progress, and what matters most is that what I do is my whole life, and I feel blessed. Once again, thank you for your kind words.”

As Bhko mentioned, I, truly, feel that you capture Schuman and Schubert in this solo work.  Both were excellent piano writers at their time.  They knew how to use the piano as character and as instrument. Here, you have illustrated that. Many do not know that piano isn't just instrument.   

I love the 3 against 2. It creates lovely cross rhythm. The subtle chromatism, which colors the theme, is always nice to hear. 🙂 

Over all...kudos

Thank you so much for your attention and appreciation. Schubert, and to some extent Schumann as well, influence me a lot. Even with my influences, I try in some way to leave my own mark. On the one hand, I feel blessed that I can capture the style so accurately, but on the other hand, I feel locked in. Still, this music expresses me and I love it, which is why I can’t escape from it. In any case, I’m very glad that you enjoyed it and appreciated the effort.

You are welcome.  As a composer, it is important to know what influences us.  Chopin is another great early to mid romantic composer. I recommend listening and studying his works. 🙂 But be prepared to dive deeper into chromaticism.

"Don’t worry, I know the entire work of Chopin as well as that of my other favorite composers. It’s just that Schubert is the composer who influences my psyche more than anyone else. Him and Mozart. And now that you mentioned Chopin, I’ve also composed pieces that resemble Chopin a lot 🙂 Among my favorite composers."
