A Consideration (Original piano composition)

[Dachion]

" I like it! What is that style of music officially called? "

[doelman]

@Dachion Thanks a lot. I really don't know. Why do you want to know that?

[Dachion]

@doelman " I'm sort of a scholar in music & like to catagorize styles of music to better understand them since there are so many shades of music possible. I guess it's a love song or perhaps a Galant Romanza. Very Love Story, Nice!"

[Nicofiesta18]

Hey watch my compositions too ! :)

[DiegoDCvids]

awesome composition

[doelman]

@DiegoDCvids I'm really happy that you like it, thanks for your comment!

[thefirepeppe]

bellissima

[doelman]

@thefirepeppe thanks!

[TheGuyWhoJustShotYou]

Great stuff! I liked the part around 0:32, created some great tension for the part after. much more contemparary than classical but still excellent!

[doelman]

@TheGuyWhoJustShotYou Yeah, this one sounds more contemparary. It's just a feeling, I don't know how to compose something classical or something contemparary yet..

[nihilihihi]

Beautiful song, especially at 0:50 - 1:10 :)

[doelman]

@nihilihihi Thanks, yeah I like that part the most :)

[ETCreations]

beautiful

[doelman]

@ETCreations Thanks a lot!

[unpodimusica1]

Very lovely!!

[doelman]

@unpodimusica1 Thanks a lot!

[Suikerverslaafde]

Wauw. Als ik wist dat je dít soort dingen speelt aan de andere kant van die betonnen muur.... Ik vind het nou wel jammer dat wij geen gipsplaat delen! :D

Goed bezig Roeland! [up]

[doelman]

@Suikerverslaafde haha dank u :) Dit is nog op m'n oude keyboard overigens hoor ;)

[Suikerverslaafde]

@doelman Niet zo bescheiden. XD

[doelman]

@Suikerverslaafde 'k Ben niet bescheiden, vind het zelf ook een mooi stuk en ik ken zat mensen die 10x beter kunnen spelen maar beweren dat ze met geen mogelijkheid een stuk als dit zouden kunnen schrijven. Maar ik moet nog veel leren hoor, haha.

[stheive]

bien joué

[perfectbudgie]

I love this, Roeland. Very evocative tune, with beautiful harmonies, sensitively played. Well done!

[doelman]

@perfectbudgie thanks again for commenting on this piece (you already did a few months ago). I'm glad you still like it, I like it too and I play it almost everyday :)

[tobzhooli]

This is a great piece. Another another commenter mentioned, the left hand works really nicely :)

[doelman]

@tobzhooli Yeah thanks for your comment, glad you like it!

[BrokenBrooms]

You've composed this after one year of playing the piano? That's impressive! :O You show that one doesn't have to be a wonder child to still be great. I love it =)

[doelman]

@BrokenBrooms Yeah after one year of playing keyboard (since a few weeks I've a piano!) Thanks for your comment, glad you like it!

[BrokenBrooms]

@doelman You only just have a piano? You're a talent at composing then, for sure :o

[doelman]

@BrokenBrooms I don't understand exactly what you mean now? Let me explain: 2 years ago i bought a little 48 keyboard (I made my composition "bad luck" on it), like 1.5 year ago I bought a 76 keyboard, on which I made this composition "a consideration". And since a few weeks I've a "real" digital piano!

[BrokenBrooms]

@doelman Ahzo! Ik dacht dat je nu pas voor het eerst een piano bij je thuis had, en voordien slechts speelde wanneer je aan een piano geraakte. Dus nu heb je een nieuwe? Deze klinkt anders ook wel erg goed :O

[doelman]

@BrokenBrooms O nee, ik ben al wel wat langer (ongeveer 1.5 - 2 jaar) bekent met de toetsen zeg maar, maar de "piano" die je in dit filmpje hoort is meer een keyboard, de toetsen zijn namelijk een stuk lichter dan op een echte piano. Maar het geluid is wel degelijk ja!!

Ik heb nu een nieuwe ja, in mijn nieuwste upload kun je die zien en horen!

[BrokenBrooms]

@doelman hmm.. sebiet nog ies checken :P

[pianist626262]

Congratulation! Very nice!

[doelman]

@pianist626262 Thank you. I like this one the most.

[vibael]

Nice, very nice. have you changed the ending? i like it. you are very good. If you change the ending, upload it to the end,ok? Greetings

[doelman]

@vibael What do you mean? I never changed the ending! Thanks anyway!

[JayashriV]

Beautiful! A wonderful listen. But the ending could have been a little nicer instead of ending on the base note. :-)

[doelman]

@JayashriV Thanks. And about the ending, you're right!

[JorikMusic]

Beautiful! Really nice chord progressions....and you play very well man!

[perfectbudgie]

Roeland, I've not listened to this before. Lovely tune and harmonies. Well done! I notice that you're from Utrecht. I was there on business about 15 years ago. Many happy memories! Best wishes, Rob

[doelman]

@perfectbudgie Glad you like it!! And how funny, yes I live in Utrecht, really funny that you know this place. What kind of business did you have in Utrecht?

[perfectbudgie]

@doelman I'll reply as a personal message to save clogging up your comments on this upload!

[frostfuzz]

Beautiful piece

[gonrolgonrol]

Very good composition. It is a positive although somewhat melancolic somehow. Absolutely like :)

[doelman]

@gonrolgonrol Thanks, it's the one I like the most I think. And yeah, it's a bit melancolic :)

[CedricKristian]

Jouw linkerhand is beter :P

Daar faal ik mee

[CedricKristian]

Zeker mooi!

Ik wou dat ik zo piano kon spelen

[doelman]

@CedricKristian Dankje, maar jij speelt minstens zo goed als ik hoor.

[sergioca92]

Good work. Keep it up.

[doelman]

@sergioca92 Thanks a lot!

[Bcutter]

Wow, impressive and beautiful. Great work man.

[doelman]

Thanks for always watching my vids, and for your comment Bcutter :)

[suzettegm]

Yes I like it, some great harmonies here, thank you for sharing

[doelman]

@suzettegm Thanks a lot for the comment, Josette!

[OrchestrationOnline]

"A Consideration?" Ah, but more like a "Consolation" a la Franz Liszt, don't you think? See, this was excellent, integrated left-hand figuration that worked in consonance with the musical development, not a slavish new-age arpeggio style. And a wistful, yet unsentimental expression. Dignified.

Good work, doelman.

[doelman]

@OrchestrationOnline Thank you for your really great comment, as always.

Actually, you're talking about things I've never heard about, like "slavish new-age arpeggio style".

And about the title: English is not my mother language, so sometimes it's hard for me to find a good title in English.

[22jonjon22]

yah that's what I thought too...a consolation @OrchestrationOnline

[FrozenPainXx]

MOOI!

[doelman]

@FrozenPainXx dankje!

[doelman]

Thanks Lorna, I'm really glad you like it!

[Daymack]

@doelman He Doelman, doe mij maar een MIDI (want dat is makkelijker) en ik doe de rest :)... Ja zal het eventueel kunnen synchroniseren naar een ''vaste Bpm'' maar dat neemt vrij veel tijd in beslag. Lijkt me wel relaxt om te doen trouwens, dus je kunt mij ook eventueel een mp3tje hiervan opsturen..

Gr

[doelman]

Stuur ff je mailadres in een berichtje als je wilt. Helaas heb ik deze niet in MIDI opgenomen (wat ik normaal altijd wel doe), maar heb uiteraard wel een mp3.

[kentokhromatic]

Yeah, I thnk the playing of it is very nice as well...I like the different rhythms that are played in the piece.

[doelman]

Thanks Kento!

[ayeekristayy]

wow very nice and calming. 5 stars for youu :)

[doelman]

Thanks Kristayyyyyyy!!

[kspags]

Overall, the piece conveys a distinct feeling which means it is well-written. This is mostly due to the harmony, and despite you claiming to have not played it well, I didn't notice the mistakes - actually it seemed expressive and well-played to me. My suggestion for improvement would be to get a stronger melody in the fast section. Or add lyrics on top of the whole thing? Something more could develop here. Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed it.

[doelman]

Thanks for your feedback! I didn't claim that I play not very well, there are only a few little mistakes ;)

Yes, the melody is a bit off in the fast section, thanks for the suggestion.

Lyrics would be nice, but I never wrote lyrics before..

[JamesCahall]

Relaxing... good variety...

[doelman]

Thanks James!

[Daymack]

Wauw great work doelman! i love this composition!! Ad to fav... Gr Nick
