I hope one day to be able to compose something. Enjoyed listening to it. I don't know what it is about recorders, but I almost feel like they're making a comeback of sorts... except of course when little kids are forced to play them :p
@xBigBangTheory It is really an audacity to suggest to a composer to rewrite his scores. Do you really think he would do that just because you don't like his music?. Closing my eyes and listening to this score, even though artificially recorded, is really a beautiful experience and I thank Mr.Malinowski for that.
I don't know what people are complaining about.. I thought this was great. Would sound better performed with real instruments of course.. But still, very good.
Did you listen to Rite of Spring before you wrote this lol. I was honestly not very found of this piece and i DO love the Great Fugue, so I am used to "rough" music (I think it would sound better on string quartet). I did really enjoy your waltz.
Man, I don't get this piece. My problem isn't the trills, I can hear that those would sound decent on a real instrument. The piece just sounds like experimentation. It's just not at all enjoyable to hear. I know you're not a bad composer, as the way you wrote your fugue is inspiring the fugue I'm writing now; I haven't had much experience with music writing (I'm 15). Maybe lomax343 has it; it sounds too modern. I certainly agree with his point that a good symphony hasn't been written in years.
@DiesIstGrammarNazi This isn't the best thing I've written, not by a longshot, but I suspect that it's better than you're able to appreciate. Try it again in eight years (when you'll be as old as I was when I wrote it).
@smalin As far as music is concerned, I'm afraid that Modern=Bad. It's damn nearly a century since anyone wrote a decent symphony; jazz died when they invented BeBop; and there haven't been any rock bands worth listening to for a generation or more.
At first I thought that this was almost experimental, but then I found out that it was composed through a synthetic program I was forgiving of the song because if my experiences with those programs. I would really like to here the piece on real instruments I could tell that it is a very nice piece.
I love it. It felt like "apres midi dún (mircat)" in places and sometimes like a busy urban sprawl in time-lapse photography. It was a bit strange to my ear at first, but it quickly won me over. Were you using that six note scale that Berlioz (and others) used.
@terrybeaton No, this uses normal (diatonic) scales. What it uses that's not so normal is quartal harmony --- not all the time, but a lot of the time. Also, in places, it modulates pretty quickly. The combination of those two things means that there are places where you don't get a strong triadic sense of harmony to hang onto.
I think this is your best work, and for the beethoven fugue I think that it is possible for the first performances to just have been ill prepared, due to the difficult technicality, by the performers. that could have caused more confusion for the audience
@wbreingold92 You could be right about the first performance. However, people were unable to appreciate the Grosse Fuge for a long time after the first performance (see the quotes I've included in my video of it).
Wow, these are definitely not common practice harmonies. But this is still a really nice piece. If you don't mind me asking, what sort of sonorities are these? They sound to me like quartal harmonies... am I correct?
@b0ttomzone Well you can disregard that last question about those sonorities... I just saw that you uploaded the score. But once again, many compliments... I really enjoy listening to this.
The organizational aspects of this I respect but it doesn't exploit anything harmonically or melodically within my tastes. The visuals and lack of live performance probably exaggerate this, but the unresolved dissonances jumping to new ones just turns me off as it seems jumpy and pointless on the small scale. Organization can be great within completely "pantonal" pieces but it still doesn't entertain me as both the individual lines and the harmonies between them don't go well with me.
@supiluliumas15 Depends what you mean by "compare." A single-family and a Gothic cathedral are both architecture. There are lots of things wrong with this quartet, but if somebody complains about "strange discordance" and says it sounds like "random notes" with "little or no meaning," then I think they're not hearing what's going on in it --- just as the first people who listened to Beethoven's grosse fuge didn't know what was going on in that piece.
Man, I hear this song lots of time, and it has such a weird beauty! That's what I love in music! The peculiarities of each song from each musician! Love to hear new stuffs, like that!
My first impression was that your Quartett sounds mysterious, MORBID and, put simply: Interesting. I presumed that I would enjoy it through listening AGAIN , and this was/IS absolutely CONFIRMED.
Being a wind quintet player I can easily hear how this would sound performed live and this is a very good piece, seems to be very well composed for the quartet. I don't like this music I'm hearing but I know it would sound great if performed.
@smalin@smalin I thought key memory and pitch memory were the same as absolute pitch..
I was educated with the "Do mobile" method, and so I can't stand thinking "re mi fa# re, re mi fa# re", when I feel "DO RE MI DO". But I have the same musical ear as yours, so I wondered how if without that method..
@bachopinberg By "key memory" I mean that I hear when music modulates, and can recognize the "home key" when it returns. By "pitch memory" I mean that I remember individual pitches, sometimes for days, weeks, or months. But "absolute pitch" means that you can say, instantly upon hearing a note (and regardless of what came before), what pitch that note is, and can instantly, when given the name of a pitch, sing a note of that pitch.
@smalin (sorry for my english, I'm an italian professional piano player. my compliments for your playing. Iìve read about your "gran polacca" progect, if needed I can share tecnical advice. p.s. please do the last scriabin piano sonatas!!))
What I hear is something drenched in technical greatness, with this sort of confident playfulness. Everything seems highly intentional and concise which gives me that bold and self-assured impression. On the other hand, it feels void of emotion or warmth, somewhat sterile, or at least beyond the standard humane realm of reachable emotion. It's difficult to explain and that's in no way supposed to be a criticism or insult; I'm only trying to describe what I observed. I found it very engaging :)
@smalin That's highly possible of course; you lose a lot of dynamics through doing it this way. I was more referring to the progressions and tonalities used, though. Like I said: it's in no way a derogatory remark as some very famous classical pieces have been described by their creators as emotionless, such as the 1812 Overture. Does it defeat the purpose of writing the music if I ask you what emotions drove the creation of the piece?
@Treijim For me, the emotions that drive the creation of a piece are completely distinct from the emotions aroused by the piece. I'm trying to think of an analogy ... it's kind of like the difference between building a car in a shop and driving it, or between growing food and eating it.
@smalin Would you care to share both? I'm curious. Emotionally, what prompted you to compose it, and how do you actually feel when you listen to it now? That's only if you want to share :)
This is different than a lot of music I have heard, and I'm trying to gather a feel for the style and what it's communicating. Smalin, could you explain a bit more about the structure and intention of the piece?
@smalin yeah, yeah...i know, but if you don't understand, it doesn't mean you don't like it. When I don't like something, I hear it tons of time to try to understand the song in itself...and then I can have a solid and consistent opinion.
In my mind, it sounds like... a dawn, with the sun slowly raising from the horizon... and the activity of the whole Nature and world, with all of its creatures, in all of its sub-worlds, both macro and micro ones, getting more and more intense... until the sunset comes, to bring a quiet night!
I rate it with a thumb-up and I add it to my favourites!
Totally digging the unresolved suspensions. Looks like you also have a bit of klangfarbenmelodie going on in the late middle section. At some point into the first section (with the unresolved suspensions) I was expecting some kind of cadence to lead into a new section with a more defined harmonic structure, but the unfulfilled arrival was a nice touch I must say. Kudos.
I would hate to do a harmonic analysis on this thing. Lots of juicy chords in there! I think this piece would truly shine if it were played by a live ensemble rather than midi sounds.
@Synsacrus Since I'm not using triadic harmony (except inasmuch as I use jazz-like dissonances), the best way to analyze it "harmonically" would be to just track modulations (that is, where on the circle of fifths the pitches fall, excluding the dissonances); looked at that way, it's pretty simple.
@smalin After considering what you said and taking a second listen it really wouldn't be so ghastly an undertaking. It might be even more fun to note the relationships between certain notes and note groups. Speaking of which, I remember a Chopin piece that you graphically represented in this way (pitch relations), are you going to do any other pieces this way in the future?
Hey Stephen, have you ever considered doing any classic or comtempo jazz numbers with this medium? like maybe Brubeck or? I mean, before you decide to end it all :)
@smalin dude, wtf? The music sucked - my opinion, the video wan't that much of anything, but it rarely is, so who cares. You know what, do it if you are really that intent on it lol
@JustaEropeanGuy Your opinion is beyond irrelevant. I personally took the time to look over your channel and have concluded that you are a child who needs to grow up or GTFO.
@ScribbleMouse There's a lot of order in this piece, but it is not the same as the order in classical period music. If you watch/listen to this once or twice a day, you will see/hear more and more in it.
It's almost too rudimentary, not simplistic and pure, but so basic. It's completely mundane in the beginning with only a brief respite in the middle. I literally find myself falling to sleep listening to it.
Quite. It's just this particular style is not to my liking. The strange discordance is not appealing, to me. I understand that a rather 'chaotic' score can be well-played, but sometimes it just sounds like random notes with little or no meaning (and done in a seemingly meaningless way). Maybe it's just me, but this piece sounds almost amateurish.
Oh, no. I think it's "Reverie" by Debussy. You know, very slightly.
