This is my composition for oboe and clarinet which I wrote just before the Easter of 2022, and this performance was on 10th May that year. It's a work in roughly ternary form - there's the opening very simple melody (A section), perhaps rather folk-like or from some Germanic folk tale, the middle (B) section, which is more involved in terms of rhythmic and textural variety, and more contrapunta...

Recorded 10th December 2023. Please refer to my first performance (ua-cam.com/video/zRHGSzn5j5o/v-deo.htmlsi=RvJUUKp-NkczOhu8) or my 3rd (ua-cam.com/video/NO8z2lqyJ70/v-deo.htmlsi=f_QatKxXBhqtA1Pl) for better playing in the areas where it falls apart in this instance.

I composed, in early 2020, the introduction and the opening of the waltz lying in bed just before drifting to sleep - I spent a good while making sure it was secure in my mind then the next morning I notated it, and continued the waltz section.

Bach Brandenburg Concerto No. 5
Переглядів 1,2 тис.3 місяці тому
Clearly my playing is subpar in a number of places, and I was very disappointed following the performance, but there are still some adequate sections. It's a lesson learnt for me; to not sleep shortly before the concert and to do more high-quality preparation on the harpsichord. It was a great experience nonetheless.

    You have potential to become one of the best in the world kid. You need to become more masculine, to have some appeal. You look weak and effeminate. Put some muscle. And choose a better repertoire, Alkan music is... ah you know. Good luck, G.

      I appreciate the feedback thanks - there’s a video from more recently on my channel of this same piece where I think I look a little less like what you say - in the last 8 months especially I’ve gained a little more of a solid frame. Also back then I was very much bound by quite a lot of tension in my self which aids in making me look weak. But I see your point for sure 👍

    Can artificial intelligence create something like this with credibility, I don't think so, to prove my point, I just have to ask, why would anyone with 72 subscribers would publish such music other then for pure unadulterated artistic fun ? now you will have 73 subs and a comment from an old jazz musician. Keep it up.

      Thank you very much! I agree - definitely not at the moment but I must confess that I feel weird about the potential of AI one day being able to create genuinely great musical works, but hopefully we can be rest assured that the public will not prefer listening to music created by AI over their fellow humans...

      @@jamesmayhew2538 Art has to be relatable, without life experience and feelings you can only replicate the material forms, A.I. jumbles everything it knows into a blender and regurgitates copies of "nothing" and that's not relatable in any sense, it lacks personal specificity. A good outcome would be to force people to go back to the concerts with real artists performing instead of only recorded music, I doubt but wishful thinking doesn't hurt.

    As a fellow student of this pièce (although I am a much less accomplished student then you), the tempo is too unequal in the first page and a half. Considering how fast you can Play the rest I am pretty sure it is just a matter of practicing these sections with a metronome. Or maybe the nerves getting to you? Because you play the same motifs more equally later on The seventh page shouldnt be played with pedal (you are the first pianiste I hear that uses it) (Omg the fkn ppl walking behind you as you okay this incredible music that took si Many hours yo practice!!!!) Really Solid performance over all Cant imagine how good it is now after more practice! And AT such a young âge

      Thanks for your feedback - yeah I’m aware things were a little uneven - partly because my hands were rather cold from waiting in the cold cathedral until the two people before me in that concert had played! But yes partly lack of the apposite practice… Thank you! Yes the cathedral was open to visitors but I was so focused on playing I didn’t notice them lol And yes I like to think that it is a bit better now so hopefully I will perform it again soon
