Dark piano composition: The Sadness of a Vampire

[Rickeeey1]

Nice composition. The part after 1:17 felt like the start of another movement though (if this would be a sonata or something similar).

[gonrolgonrol]

@Rickeeey1 Thank you for the comment. It is correct that the part at at 1:17 is in fact another movement. This is not a complete composition but rather a sketch for one. The part at 1:17 should contain more for example.

Is there sheet music?



[gonrolgonrol]

@mrScrubsable Hi, no sorry- I did not make sheet music for this- all in my head. But I'll maybe write it down later in a revisioned edition. This is a version more in sketch-form.

I love the chords and melody. I also enjoyed the dramatic shift during and after the long pause. The idea that was impressed in my mind at the end was of some poor creature trudging ever slower until it collapsed. Great dark vibes.

[gonrolgonrol]

@1withSerenity Great impression, with the creature! :)

Just wish I had practised the piece some more before uploading. As I come back to it I notice so many errors in the playing. These errors are not of tones but rather of tempo and so on.

[PhilPhilUSA]

this is very powerful vampire music - yes elegant and of ancient ancestry ... moreover,

though, another very engaging work Rolando!!

[gonrolgonrol]

@PhilPhilUSA That was exactly what I aimed for.

Thanks Philip :)

I returned to listen again - conveys a sense of dark melting chocolate.

[gonrolgonrol]

@alldogs4me Oh, that sounds nice! First time I hear a "food" association :)

[Angeloyur]

Glad to find another cool, deep & dark piano work of yours!, nice sound you are reaching.

[gonrolgonrol]

@Angeloyur Thank you- I'm in a vampire period now :)

[planetrockford]

That is a fine piece of work.

[gonrolgonrol]

@planetrockford Tusen takk :)

[alldogs4me]

I will look forward to listening to more of your playing. And yes, Mark is a wonderful teacher, very patient.

[gonrolgonrol]

@alldogs4me Wonderful, patience is a very very important part of being a teacher! :)

[alldogs4me]

Yes, I think you've caught the mood. You're very inventive. By the way, Mark Howard is my piano teacher. He says "Hi!"

[gonrolgonrol]

@alldogs4me Pleasure to make your acquaintance- and thank you very much for the comment! So wonderful to have Mark Howard as your piano teacher- he plays with such sensitivity and care for each note!

All the luck with your practice and learning :)

[JohnDiabol]

magnifique! 

[gonrolgonrol]

@JohnDiabol Many thanks John. I would recommend any person who likes Black Metal to your channel- very professional voice cover work!

[JohnDiabol]

@gonrolgonrol Yours is great too! Very skilled compositions here! I'm very impressed.

[gonrolgonrol]

@JohnDiabol Takk John! :)

[TheGuyWhoJustShotYou]

Very nice! I liked it alot, although I though the part at 1:17 could have been a little longer. It just seemed to be so different from the rest of the pieces sound and I think if it was longer it would feel more in place. other wise amazing work! I'll listen to the other 2 tomarrow.... or today tecnically because its 2:14 AM... I can't sleep :(

[gonrolgonrol]

@TheGuyWhoJustShotYou Poor Daniel! ;) Maybe a cup of tea would have helped to make you sleep? Some herbaltea helps to sleep.

Many thanks!

[gonrolgonrol]

@TheGuyWhoJustShotYou Oh, by the way- the part at 1.17 actually is a variation on the start- just as a fact :)

[PrettyGoodies1]

Not enigmatic. ... This is romance! - deep and rich ... but still discreet. : )

[gonrolgonrol]

@PrettyGoodies1 Yes a dark romance maybe!? :)

[doelman]

Some parts are really unexspected, but nice composition if you're in the mood for dark music!

[gonrolgonrol]

@doelman Thanks Roeland. Could you please say for example what parts are unexpected?

[lifemusicandnature]

a wonderful dark romantic composition!!

[gonrolgonrol]

@lifemusicandnature Thank you very much Benni. You have some very beautiful compositions too. :)
