A lot of people are interested in how I compose. All of the compositions have a story behind them. I simply try to say in music what I am trying to express in a story. Here is the story behind Destiny. A very busy who travels all the time promised his kids he would take them to the zoo. He isn't feeling well in the morning so he visits the doctor and the doctor tells him he has heart problem that can erupt anytime and today could be his last day.
On his way home as he is terrified of telling his wife and kids he realized what good would it do to tell them.
They would panic and spend the day worrying and taking him from doctor to doctor.
What if this really is his last day. Is this the way he wants to spend it. No way. He wants to go to the zoo with
his kids as he promised.
So he comes home as if nothing happens and wakes up his kids. Those are the three opening notes of the piece.
However, three notes played like that also represent Destiny. This is the same way that the overture to Forza del destino by Verdi starts. Three long chords.
All through the first part there is repetition between the lower register and the upper register. This is the father trying
to teach the kids what is important in life. And they repeat after him.
When they get to the zoo after seeing the animals the father is exhausted and want to rest and the kids want to run around
in the grass. And that is the second part of the piece.
Then the father falls asleep. And the kids play and play. Meanwhile the man dreams of his whole life. All of a sudden kids approach the sleeping man (scales running up) gently and tap him three times and the return of the theme of first part.
"Grandpa" they say. "You promised us ice cream"
"Yes i did" he replies. So the grandfather takes his grand kids home and asks him the same questions and they answer him perfectly.The second time the first theme repeats it is supposed to be a bit slower. Because the grandfather is now taking his grand kids. So not only did the man live out the day but he also lived to take his grandkids to the zoo. Now how do you express a story like that in music. You have to use whatever tools are out there. And that is why my music sounds like Chopin, Liszt, Verdi, etc. We are all trying to express something through the music. Listen to La Forza del Destino overture and you will feel something alive. A living breathing emotion. Now they are the masters. I just compose because I am here to transmit stories through music and entertain people. If I have made peoples lives happier or more fulfilling then I have indeed succeeded. I want to thank everyone for listening and giving me feedback on my music. I really appreciate it. I read all the comments because they help me improve. Also it gives me ideas for future concerts. My thanks also to PianoReader who has made this possible. And no Pianoreader and Michael Pasikov are not the same person. May everyone have a wonderful week. Michael.

Michael Pasikov Beautiful music, glad to hear you utilising the tone of each of the notes to convey emotion.
Your music is beautiful.
Thank you Aiden. I really appreciate the feedback. I am glad you enjoy it.
Myosotis - Thank you for your input. Chopin used the moonlight sonata as a basis for his fantasie impromptu. In fact he went as far as to take a whole passage write out of the 3rd movement and make it part and parcel of his piece. In my opinion it is not the influences that are important. But rather what the music is trying to say. Once Picasso took a bicycle seat and handle bars and put them together in such a unique way that it looked exactly like a bull. It was incredible. Because that is what creativity is. A unique way to look at something standard. Look how many times composers have created a set of variations. Almost every composer did that. Why. Because it is a creativity process seeing it in a new light. I am not defending my work. I do not profess to be a great composer by any means. I simply compose to express new ideas and to entertain. The fact that my compositions get people to talk about it is a good thing. It means people are responding to it. That is exactly what I like. A discussion.
Great work right there .. i like it cause we didn't see from decades compositions like the 1800's performed today .. i almost thought it Chopin's Nocturne Op.32 no.2 at first :) but really good job , keep working on
The end chord progression reminds me of Chopin Waltz Op 64 no 2. Amazing job.
My first thought "Lovely! Finally piano solo which I can play!" few seconds later "well, sh*t".
Thank you for your work! Greetings :3
Alain What do you mean precisly ?
Honestly mood and exactly what I thought
Lmao
At first I thouhht this was an expression of your own destiny so far in live. I could hear a thousand story's.......
May your destiny be as amazing as this masterpiece
The beginning reminded me of Love Dream 3 by Liszt... oh well
Actually, Michael did mention that he was inspired by Liszt for this particular composition so I think you're right!
Same key. A flat major.
Its also exactly the same as the beginning of chopins 10th nocturne.
Waltz of the flowers
Nooo, se inspiró en Maluma
I was totally hyped about learning this song until I got like 30 seconds in and shit got crazy
you could learn the slow parts. Those are fun
Thank you Michael Pasikov for this beautiful piece and thank you PianoREADER for this awesome tutorial!
And thank you Charlie for listening.
Michael Pasikov Your songs never get old I love them! And you're most certainly welcome.
I can't find the words to describe your work. One of your most beautiful songs !
Thank you Axel. Appreciate your comments as always.
Michael is a modern classical genius!
Thank you, Michael. Do you plan to compose new songs soon ?
Thank you FJL for your flattering comment. I don't consider myself a genius. If you enjoy the music that is all that matters.
I still haven't completed all the songs that I have composed. So there is at least one more coming and it is a doozy I hope. My kids like it the best. But as I have found out everyone has his own taste. That is why it is good to play lots of pieces. And up next is an arrangement of mozart eine kleine nacht music. I know there are very nice ones out there but I am aiming for a very pianistic sound to the music. I have the first movement done and I hope to record it in the next 2 weeks or so. Thanks again for listening and commenting. It really helps me get feedback which pieces people like. All the best... Michael
It's really a beautiful piece!
Beautiful ❤❤
Thank you very much.
Awesome!
0:09 Liebestraum like
Yes
This was great!
Thanks. A.S.Belew
the very beggining of the song sounded like liebestraume no.3, which is a really good piece
Mark sure knows how to make some awesome compositions..
Bellaa!!
Gracias
stunning. i love it
pianoREADER could you do Tango Notturno by Hans-Otto Borman ?
I actually thought I could learn this at first :(
You should do Alan Hovhaness Fantasy from Shalimar
Si nos vamos a precidos, entonces Franz Liszt en Liebestraum No 3 se copió de la fantasia Wanderer de Schubert, repito, los parecidos se encuentran porque manejan mismas tonalidades o sus menores o mayores.
After much hard work, the sheets are out!! To grab your copy go to: www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/20460214
Could you make a video on I got rhythm by George Gershwin?
Oh nice some Liebestr-, Wait... NOT AGAIN!
Where can I find the sheet of this?
Cause I wanna play this
www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/destiny-digital-sheet-music/20460214
This sounds so much like Lizt!
Миша, твой стиль очень похож на что-то между Листом и Бетховеном?
Reminded me of a Patrick Doyle piece :>
0:09 - 0:11 reminds me so much of another piece but I can't remember which
it's liebestraum no.3...
...........
Lol
mike gaspari destiniy please
Scarlatti sonata k 87 (3)
Could you do Hungarian Rhapsody no. 6 next, appreciated!
Oh and also Chopin's Waltz in A minor Opus 34 no.2
Chopin has been reborn
But in a world where so little care about romantic music anymore :'(
Sounds like chopin
.
那真的🐂🍺
I think his music was inspired from classical musicians
Rachmaninoff?!?!
Obviamente si están en la misma tonalidad se va a parecer a otras piezas musicales, no sean ignorantes.
Parts sound almost identical to the third movement of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata
which ones?
