Piano Sonata

Hello, everyone!
How are you? I haven't posted anything here in a long time, so I'll make up for it now. Unfortunately, with school starting, I don't have as much time for composing, but I try to set aside some time for my hobby between my studies.
My latest composition is my first piano sonata. The composition is again interwoven with my specific style and I find it quite demanding to listen to.

If you have a moment, I'd be happy if you listened to it. Thank you very much, I'm glad to be here with you!

It was demanding at first, but after a few minutes I got used to your language. I listened not so intently, and it was quite beautiful and never uninteresting once I got used to your color palette. Although not the type of music I generally prefer listening to, your particular brand of it was very enjoyable.

I also checked out your string quartet, I loved it! It's very heavenly 🙂

Hello,

thank you for listening. I appreciate everyone who spends time listening to my pieces. For me, as an 18-year-old composer who doesn't write full-time, but rather in my spare time, every word means so much!

Hi @Petr Kopuletý!

The 1st mov sounds very funny with the offbeat rhythms as well as fleeting harmonies. I would hope to the music invite some moments when the rhythm and harmony become more static. In the 2nd movement the interesting rhythm remains though the mood is somewhat a bit less fleeting and volatile. It sounds like a dance to me. I don't think the tempo fits "Lento" marking; it's more Andante to me given how the "con moto" feeling appears here. The 3rd movement reminds me of some Japanese Anime music and somewhat the style of @ferrum.wav's music, with a somewhat more light-hearted style comparing the prior two movements. It even gives me some improvisatory feeling, sometimes with abrupt shifts of mood and rhythm between different sections. The ending sounds inconclusive to me though.

Is the music in any musical form? I personally don't find it too demanding to listen to but will welcome your self analysis of your own music haha. I think of your style a less dissonant Prokofiev. 

Will be great if you can provide a score as well!

Great job as an 18-year old! For sure you write better than when I was 18 haha. Thx for sharing your music!

Hello,

Thank you for listening and for your time! I will try to respond to your comments in order:

You're right that the second part doesn't have the classic Lento character, but almost none of the slow parts of my compositions adhere to the conventions of Lento 😅

The conclusion was intentionally ambiguous to a certain extent. I wanted a more open ending 🙂

The form is not fixed. Although you may find the composition quite accessible, many people struggle with my compositions. This is mainly due to the irregular rhythms and polyrhythms.

I don't usually attach sheet music to the recordings in the interest of preserving the mental health of the listeners, as they are quite chaotic 😂

Anyway, thanks again for your review, I really, really appreciate it!
