7 Levels of "Glimpse of Us"

This one took me about one day to get it right because the last two levels were crazy. Try to spot all the influences, the title may give you a clue!! :)

OU MAMA, mis dieses. What a beautiful variata!!!!

[@javierbirruezo]

Ohhh yes el final está a la par con tu PablachoTrio en dificultad 😍

3:12 sounds like winter wind etude lol

[@javierbirruezo]

That's because I stole that idea from Chopin, well spotted! 😂

[@trand6570]

@@javierbirruezo Can you drop all the references u made? This is an incredible composition

[@zainlam9965]

@@trand6570 the runs in 'advanced' seem to be Chopin inspired, the 'hard' version left hand reminds me of some rach or liszt, or maybe glinka, 'impossible' is a winter wind reference

Masterpiece✨

It's so beautiful

[@lawytgaming6583]

Hi, can someone kindly point out all the Chopin references for me? I could only get winter wind.

amazing

[@slapzz3184]

this is amazing man, i just started piano like a week ago, i was wondering if you think its worth learning to read music or not, so far i’ve just been learning songs from youtube tutorials, but if i ever get good enough it seems a shame to not be able to play something like this just because i cant read music even though it may take a lot of effort

[@javierbirruezo]

Absolutely!! I'll give you example: Imagine a person who knows how to speak a language fluently, but doesn't know how to read it. That person is limited to obtaining knowledge only through oral communication, but if he knew how to read the language, many sources of knowledge would open up to him. If you learn to read music it will be much easier for you to understand the theory and delve deeper into the music. I also know cases of people who don't know how to read sheet music and have learned to play difficult things, but the process is usually longer. So in the long run learning to read music will save you time. I hope it helps you and congratulations on starting your journey in the world of piano 😊🎉

[@slapzz3184]

@@javierbirruezo Thanks a lot for your fast and helpful reply, I will definitely start learning to read music! 😁🎵

[@BuffaloBillBtch]

Would you consider uploading midi files as well out of these gorgeous arrangements that you have made? Some of us use midis to practise and play. And I mean the midis you would get straight from the app where you write the compositions (Export midi). Either way, keep doing what you are doing, you have a gift and amazing ability with piano.

[@javierbirruezo]

I didn't think about that, I'll see what I can do and start exporting the midis when I find the time. If I don't do it please remind me so!! 😊

[@BuffaloBillBtch]

@@javierbirruezo Awesome!

[@TheNonWhite]

Midis would be awesome, since people like me, who aren't able to read sheet music, could play your awesome arrangements! You're doing an awesome job with your works! Thank you so much!

[@popmushee]

You should play mine 😏

[@sakeiizumi]

Too easy ‼️ The reason: 1. Tonal scale. 2. Tonal harmony. 3. All chords are triads (no 7th, 9th, 11th, 13th chords.4. Tuplets are too simple (no doublets versus triplet/triplets versus quadruplets...etc. and so on.)5. The melody(vocal) line is too monotonous.6. The structure of the musical form is too simple.7. no major and minor intervals in 7th/9th/.../13th. 8. No increasing and diminished intervals (chords), and 6 /suspended chords. 9. As the melody itself, you'll totally understand that it's just a pop song.

[@thepianoplayingturtle8449]

No one gives a shit. It’s still beautiful

[@javierbirruezo]

I get your point but some of the things you said are not quite right. Not all chords are triad, from the start you can see a lot of minor, major and Dominant 7s, and later on you can spot some extended harmonies. Check for instance the chord at 2:42, a B flat minor 9 chord where you have to press both a white and black key with the thumb. There are some irregular rythms in the "advanced" part (1:46) that try to evoke Chopin flourishes. The last part is a quotation of the Etude Op.25 No.11 of Chopin (3:02) that can be tricky to perform properly, and finally a trill with upper melody all in the same hand (3:22). It isn't Godowsky but I wouldn't call it too easy either.

u still have time to delete this comment lil bro

[@boxbird5723]

Maybe from a theory standpoint it’s more simple, but you need years and years of practice as a pianist to develop the mechanical technique to play this well. It’s clear that the person who composed this has experience playing many romance era pianists like Chopin and Liszt.

[@salmaofinlandes6793]

Impressive, very nice. Let's see your rendition now.

[@adeelahmad7546]

Love your Work. You should try doing some Tutorials you would help those who Cant Read sheat Music🫡🫡🫡
