Well Done!!!

[WeNeedHumanity]

Your playing is absolutely wonderful! I could only dream of playing like this. Any tips on composition for a budding pianist such as myself?

[BachScholar]

@WeNeedHumanity Thanks! Pretty soon I should have composing tips up on my website. Also, I may do a composing tutorial sometime soon.

In your previous version of this piece I've already said how amazing it is, and that I need to buy the score as soon as you release it, so I'm not going to repeat that.

Now, I would like to ask a (dumb) question: you often say that your works are highly pianistic, and I hear the same about works by Liszt and Rachmaninoff, for example. On the other hand, people say that some works by Beethoven are non-pianistic. What makes a piece pianistic or non-pianistic?

[BachScholar]

@guilopescorrea It's the way everything lies under the fingers and the way it is written specifically for the piano. Beethoven's music is not always entirely pianistic, as is Brahms. They have many awkward moments. Often when a work is idiomatic or pianistic it is easier to play than it sounds, whereas non-pianistic works are usually harder to play than they sound. Also, composers who don't play piano well can't write pianistic music for the same reason I can't write idiomatic guitar music.

[BachScholar]

@guilopescorrea A good example of "pianistic" writing in this piece is the loudest and fastest part with the sweeping arpeggio in the LH. This sounds really hard, and it kind of is, but this arpeggio is probably the least difficult of all for the pianist, D-flat major. It lies well under the fingers and is much easier to play really fast than if it were in C major or any other key.
