I've listened to your other sonatas. Subscribed, you have a very unique musical voice.

[@shawnwilliamson9267]

I love the fact that this is a seemingly jazz composition, but using a classical form and with many recognizable classical ideas and overall composition tools. I am a fan of someone who can use traditionnal ways and still make it interesting, modern and unique! Congrats on this composition and looking forward to next ones by you;)

[@YUYANG_music]

love it, the opening reminds me so much of Kapustin

[@johnkathe-pianist719]

Yeah I was thinking Kapustin vibes.

[@shigeru4967]

I also listened to this piece thinking it was a Kapustin piece.

[@jpshawcross]

My favorite of your sonatas. The first movement especially would sound absolutely incredible on a Fender Rhodes! I might have to record that someday...

[@TheDaveBloom]

Liked and subscribed. Get to it.

[@jpshawcross]

@@TheDaveBloom Well, first I have to acquire an 88-key Rhodes, and then learn this piece, so it'll be a while lol. Definitely on my bucket list though!

[@written12]

I think you’re right about the Rhodes befitting the fist movement.

[@kevinchen8325]

This is so beautiful I can’t

[@myworms]

This is so good…I don’t have a very deep understanding of things like composition and harmony but as a listener, I’m captivated. It’s so advanced, colorful and cinematic.

[@tiosav6251]

it's true that you don't have any understanding, it is advanced for lounge or pop music i guess

[@myworms]

@@tiosav6251 go away kid, you’re bothering me

[@rolandmeyer3729]

​@@tiosav6251 Why do you hate lounge music so much, bro?

[@pianosenzanima1]

Wow... this is SO good... You have an a m a z i n g talent!! God bless you

[@naphtanaptha]

This is absolutely great! I remember listening to your 4th sonata and loving it. as far as I can recall it was more modernistic and experimental, with this one now going in a much more jazzy and groovy direction, which I also love! you truly have a great ability to write in many styles (I also recently listened to your preludes book 1, that also very much showcases that ability, be it quite some time ago!). I especially enjoyed the first movement, with its amazing and catchy themes. two spots that also stood out specifically to me was the development starting at 3:35, as well as the beautiful texture and recontextualisation of the main theme of the third movement at 24:45!! amazing stuff, looking forward to new compositions!!

[@pianosenzanima1]

Just finished listening. YOU'RE A WIZARD!!!

[@VladimirLenine1917]

Fire!

[@bladst3r661]

[@FelineFlame-dj1xl]

Never clicked on a video this quickly

[@PepekBezlepek]

this is amazing!! carl vine's piano sonata brought me here and Im very happy it did ♥

[@ardabuyukgural8364]

You're a wizard, Austin✨

[@braedenhill9808]

I love your music. Still putting out amazing songs. I love your understanding of harmony and melody, but I would love to work with you some time on analysis and understanding of the greatest composers of all time. I believe I have come to some realizations as to why the best composers ever are the best.

[@seanbauer4225]

Bruh this is gorgeous

[@cyboopinator]

How do you make such interesting melodies and harmonies??? I MUST KNOW

[@pianosenzanima1]

Cause he's a genius

[@cosmodusty]

exposition was my favorite part but all of this is wonderful i adore the use of the time signatures in the recap

[@milesnexusicon9635]

This reminded me me of Charlie Brown music.

[@SeReuns]

First time to listen to your music, i love it! Suscribed (*≧ω≦)

[@robertwalker2052]

Sounds like a Charlie Brown TV special!

[@nemezizcops4534]

2nd movement good ngl

[@thekathal]

This is wild man, I think we've both written almost the same piano sonata lol (at least just the first movement) sounds great :)

[@larrydoze7430]

I smell gershwin+ kapustin

[@sigil5772]

OK Nikolai Kapustin 😀 - but lovely too
