He is very dedicated to make a pork cutlet bowl. He studies for almost his whole life because his father promised to buy him a delicious pork cutlet bowl but his father got into an accident. He forget about all things and focused on making the world most delicious pork cutlet bowl. One day, he finally found the recipe to make the most delicious pork cutlet bowl. He is very satisfied with the final result and he want to enjoy his life for the first time again. He realised he doesn't have anything because he live his life for that one pork cutlet bowl (it maybe doesn't make any sense for you but yeaa try and guess what I mean by this chef and his pork cutlet bowl).

Thank you Lionel for playing my piece, I can't really express my gratitude simply with words! I would never think that I am capable of being featured by you, let alone get featured with my FIRST EVER COMPOSITION. The other two compositions by Rhon and Rizal are so good, I can't choose between them; but if I were to choose from the three, I would have chosen among them two. What I feel about the two pieces: Winter Fantasy is a very fantas-tic piece to listen to, it really brings out the feel of winter; if you don't really enjoy it yet try to think of winter in your brain, the piece would sound a lot better. Kintab is such a calming piece, it's done so well technically as well; somehow I feel a little bit of Michael Shen "The Gentle Zephyr" vibes in it. And now begins my Ted-talk of what made this piece possible lol. It all started with episode 2 - Michael Shen, 13-year-old legendary composer, and Lionel who featured him. Although Awakening is my first ever composition, I have in fact done some (crappy) vocal arrangement beforehand. So I was like "hey a 13-year-old did that, maybe I could give it a try, won't end well but whatever; I mean I've done some vocal arrangements so that's at least a thing" and started writing. Perhaps I'm not good with looking for a melody, I ended up reusing one of my older ideas of trying to compose (which never happened, until, well Michael's inspiration). Fair point about Lionel saying that it isn't that original because it really isn't. But with my arrangement experience, I decided to stick with a singular motif and go from there. And then this piece existed. After that, I submitted this piece with my manuscript writing (what was I thinking at the time). I was so lucky that I made a slight demo of the "epic" part of the song, which made Zulaski (ep.1 fan pieces) interested in my song and say "hey you should probably make a digital version, Lionel won't read manuscripts", then begins my journey of Musescore composing. Without him I won't be here. Lionel gave a very nice arrangement to this piece (for those who don't know, he made adjustments to most of the pieces he played), and his choice of levitating octaves in some parts is truly amazing, along with so many subtle changes that turned out to be very good. He didn't just feature my song, he made it his own song. Major props to him for that! Finally, (I guess a bit of promotion is allowed?) So here is the original version of the piece: musescore.com/honey_beef/sonata-op-1-mvnt-3 (Musescore link). Feel free to leave a comment there as well! Don't forget to check out Lionel's unique rendition to the piece, link of the score is in the description. Here's a little hope of mine: all composers here, if you haven't yet, please join MusicalBasic's discord and submit a piece, link in the description. It really is a very good community to share your original pieces in. I personally entered the server only to submit the piece, only to find out that it's one of the best communities with very nice people giving you insightful feedback to your music. Oh and Michael Shen is such a legend, I think I should bring out the point again using a hashtag. #ShoutoutstoMichaelShen

I'm definitley biased to Rizals piece as well. A few years ago, a loved one of mine passed away. Lying on my bed, I can see the sky from my window. After grieving, I looked up at the night sky and could see millions of stars-- close and miles far. It was unreal! It lasted for a few seconds & felt like an out of body experience. So, yeah. When you read what Kintab meant, I was already crying. lol.

[@rachellemeyer5823]

Hi, I connected with your comment. I had a few family members and a child die all within a couple years. I remember going home and laying in my bed, I didn't see the stars but I the whole window was framing a beautiful green bush with this rich red/pink petal flower. I would just lay there and watch it and listen to the rain. It was lovely and peaceful but sad. That moment came to me and reminds me of how I feel now looking back on that moment. I understand what Rizal means about having a hard time composing because he couldn't see the beauty in all the pain. I am a writer and for nearly 10 years after I could nolonger write. There was just nothing there. I made a study during that time, taking photographs that were kinda strange lol like me crying, but I was trying to figure out how to find the beauty of pain. That's what Rizal's piece and words remind me of. I have started writing again but I still struggle more than I ever did. I hope I can make beauty out of the pain that is this life. Anyhow, thanks for listening. Sorry to go on but thank you for your thoughts about what you went through.

[@Paolo-wn5oy]

@@rachellemeyer5823 So you're trying to turn the mud into gold. I understood what Rizal wanted to say in his piece, with the help of what you two said, so the meaning of seeing your whole past life through the stars and thinking about what they are saying, that we're all made of stardust and will become stardust again. I know this quotation and I love looking at the stars, to learn how our Universe is working. So you were seeing lucidly the life of your dearest again, as if you were half dreaming. I can now unterstand, why is Asriel Dreemurr throwing stars in his attacks of star blasing, if you know the videogame named undertale, made by Toby Fox, and in which the matching fight music of phase I is named "Hopes and Dreams". Looking at the stars can be comforting, making that you can more easily accept the situation, filling your heart and soul with new hopes and especially Determination ! I will share this piece with my parents. By hearing the music, I thought to write here, about imaginating being on the end of the current year or already on Januar, as you're looking at the stars. Don't you think the harmony in this music that gives hopes utters vibes of Christmas ? Another reason to put the snow blizzard attacks for the final boss of the last videogame I ever imaginated to make until now.

[@Paolo-wn5oy]

Also, this year, i'm working for my Frensh baccalaureate, because I'm in a frensh school, and at the beginning of the year, we should read the full book of the Princess of Clèves. It's a love story, that ends tragically because the protagonist was looking at her whole past life, like a philosopher in front of the dead. So she let herself pass the way, which wasn't a solution. It's the excipit of the book and also its third linear analysis.

As much as people love the 3rd piece, I cried throughout the entirety of the second piece. My father was recently diagnosed with dementia, which has taken a toll on me. The man I've always known as my father is no longer here. The conflict between the happy memories and the tragic realities were beautifully shown throughout the second piece, and that the dance between life and death is one that forever lasts. The ending has an aura of never ending finality, that every beginning has an ending but every ending has a beginning. The piece spoke to all the joy I've ever experienced, as well as all the turmoil.

Piece #1 by Honeybee: It felt as if that you were in a dark place but, you found something, something to reach forward, a light. Standing up proud, starting a new life, and in a new light. Smiling and finally feeling free from a dark cage. A story of a very strong person. Piece #2 by Rron Delos Santos: I imagined a man walking under a winter sunlight with his beloved. Smiles were formed as winter slowly dies out with a very emotional moment. A winter love story. Piece #3 by R M Rizal: The day ending with stars so bright as you dance away the night with a yellow light. A life story.

As an artist, I know how it feels to be doubtful. About a year ago, I nearly gave up on my art entirely. I hated it. I thought I was getting worse. I saw no improvement. I went for months without touching a sketchbook. Finally, one of my friends convinced me to get back into the flow of things. I started drawing again. I started seeing some major improvements. I was happier, because I was back into my passion. So, to all you artists out there, don't give up. You are able. No matter how hard it gets or how bad it looks, it's beautiful. Because it's a piece of you. Stop comparing yourself to others. Don't try to be like others. Because you're not others. You'll never BE like others. You're you. And you're something to embrace. You are unique. Stop trying to change that. Be who you are, because you're beautiful. Everything you make is a beautiful piece of you. So don't give up. Keep fighting. You are capable of more than you realize, and what you make is beautiful.

[@skinkken]

The curse of being an artist is that it makes the creator blind. Other people's compositions and performances almost always sound better. Your own sounds flat, boring and imperfect. It's like, when I hear a piece I want to learn, that's the moment I have to save the feeling it evokes into your mind, because the day you have learned it, it feels dead. Especially to me who is slow learner. Same with composing. The first moments you improvise and/or write notes to the notation software, it sounds good, but it quickly fades and the more you try to improve it, the worse it sounds.

[@MusicalBasics]

Whew, this video has been quite a journey. After I spent 2 months practicing and growing with each composition, I started to have a deep connection to each piece. I have some more final notes for the 3 composers, which I will share: Honey_Beef: As soon as I heard your piece I loved how structured your writing style is. I still can't believe you've only been composing for a short time, because you write with such structure and precision of a composer with many years experience. Some of the harmonies are simply gorgeous and the minute I heard your piece I knew it would be perfect to be the first piece of this episode. In the end I loved practicing your piece and all the emotions you managed to convey in just a short 3 minutes. I hope you don't mind that I made fun of your nickname in the video a few times, but I really do find it quite funny. Rron: As I have told you, your piece was the first one I selected. In fact, I had shortlisted it for episode 2, but at that time I already had lycoris radiata/gentle zephyr selected and so I needed a faster, shorter piece to open up the episode with. This time, even after I reviewed 150+ submissions I still couldn't forget about your piece. Honestly your piece is one of the best written pieces I've ever played. I know I gave it a 7 for playability but that's mainly because it definitely was harder than the other 2 pieces, and I had to give it a lower structure score because it was much longer as well. But your piece was the first piece I have ever given a perfect 10 on compositional theory as it truly showed exceptional composing skills on top of deep emotions. Rizal: Kintab is one of the most beautiful melodies I have ever heard in my life. I remember I was mindlessly listening to submissions and then pressed play on your MIDI-generated playback. At the time I think I was redditing and for the first time, a MIDI-playback caused me to stop and think "wow what am I listening to?" I think that shows how powerful your melody is, the part where the piece goes "staring at me" is such an incredible, pure melody that it grabbed my attention even with just a MIDI playback. And every day I practiced your piece I absolutely loved it because I felt like there is something deep within this melody that connected with my soul. That's why I said in the video that I wanted this piece to be played at my funeral because I truly do love it this much. Basically, Kintab is so good that it made me break my rule of not featuring the same composer for 2 episodes in a row :slight_smile: Congratulations to all 3 of you and thank you all for being part of this extremely special video :)

It starts beautiful and piece full... you don’t have to worry about anything. 13:10 - you grow up to a toddler. You get to learn, have fun and you get experience. 13:59 - you are now at the start of your teenage years... you need to make decisions and be more grown up, but still need to have fun and be chaotic. 14:48 - your life finally makes sense as a young adult. 14:55 - you get the family you have always wanted. You have found your soulmate and your getting to see your kids grow up... there are ups and downs, but you’re always happy. 15:52 - your kids have moved away, you are so happy for them, and they still comes and visits you and your husband. You’re getting retired and you are happier than ever. 16:08 - now your back... back under the stars... you’ve seen your entire life flash before your eyes... and you are ready... you have said your goodbyes, and you know that your family will go on, even if your not there. 16:29 - the grass under you is like the softest pillow ever, and the night sky is ready to add you to it’s beautiful painting. The last breath is everything. Suddenly you don’t have anything else than happiness and joy in you... If anyone actually took their time to read all of this... thank you! I really love this melody, and I will legit listen to it so often from now on!

[@mackenziekang4105]

it’s interesting because your comment is gorgeously written but also fits the ~vibe~ of the song perfectly. i read through it while i was listening (the second time) and everything just seemed to fit. it’s interesting as well because that’s not how i imagined it, at all. the beginning is fairly the same but the song (instead of being your life) is a fluctuation of your wonder and your melancholy. the stars are so beautiful tonight, and the sky is the gentle love that once beckoned icarus to it. your entire life is ahead of you. “come,” they seem to say, “look at what you can do. look at what you become.” the world seems to sigh and it’s just you and the starry sea above you. “this lies ahead of you.” a strange feeling takes up your chest. the next breath rattles through you. it feels like mourning. this feels like regret. there is so much ahead of you and so much you will do but is it enough? when it is all done and over, have you done enough? been enough? loved enough? your young bones have the future laid out ahead of them and you cannot help but feel sorrow. you know this is the beginning but you cannot help but think it is too late. the breeze wraps around you in a hug. the stars twinkle as though winking, joyous with some secret you are not old enough to know the answer to - “oh little one, do not fret. there is so much you will be.” they laugh a timeless tune and they are young, they are ageless. there is no end and though you feel small looking out at the vision of greatness, you can hear the voices all the same. “we are waiting,” they whisper. “take your time. you have your whole life ahead of you. it is already over. we are here.” the melancholy steeps into your skin gently, like a tea bag diffusing slowly into water. it will be over far too soon, but at least it will have been. it’s strange, because you have not necessarily felt hope tonight but you rest assured that the night will still be there. after all, they are waiting. you are just here for the time being. take a breath. the world lingers behind.

Semi live updates: -First one is good so far -Just finished the first one, it wasn't bad, I enjoyed it. -Second one started, I'm loving this -Melody picked up, oh my God I'm ded -Melody came back up and I'm finding myself in tears. I hadn't realized I was crying -Just replayed the part, it starts around 8:17. I don't know why but it's killing me in the best ways possible. Everyone is crying for the third piece. If this makes me cry this much, I'm almost scared to get to the third one. -Starting the third one. I've always been more on the colder, sadder sides of music, so the hopeful sarrow this portrays so far isn't hitting to hard. Very pretty though. -After the pause. I'm starting to see now. -The up and downs began. Those are my favorite in music. I have raised my volume. -Second paused. The music has majorly picked up rather quickly once again. I'm not sure why, but it reminds me of The Promised Neverland. So far I have yet to cry -Third piece ended. I didn't cry. I'm playing it again, this time without ANY distraction -I could note resist reading the words on the screen. I do believe they influenced my emotions. However, I did cry. A lot. What got me the most was the smaller text saying something similar to "the stars tell me I am made from star dust". When I was younger, I always believed we where stars that fell from the sky. I believed that once we die, we return back to the Earth physically, but mentally and in terms of energy, we return to the stars where we belong. The stars saying we are made of stardust reminded me of this. It is a tough choice, but I would choose two over three, mainly because it made me cry even without reading the screens dialog and with me giving textual updates. The third piece came close, but it took me a bit to get into it. The third piece definitely hits very close, this is a hard choice, but I do believe I'd choose 2. -2 won.

[@WisteriAvis]

"I believed we were stars" YES WE ARE! (at least according to astronomers) Long story short: there are only a few elements at the beginning of the universe, after fusion in the stars some more were made (eg: carbon, iron) and the explosions of the first stars created the rest, that were much rarer (eg: gold). The solar system, including all life forms in earth are composed of them. So, technically, yes, and I remember an old documentary even said explicitly "we are children of stars" or something like that.

Which piece did YOU think was the best, and why?

Despite being the third composer of this episode, I personally think that Winter Fantasy is the best one in this episode, maybe even in the entire series. When I first listened to it, I was like: "well, if this is a competition, this piece will win, no cap." Even though I never experienced winter myself (snow, especially lol), the piece gives me a solid idea of winter, even more than Vivaldi's Winter.

The first one was emotional but showed frustration,passion and longing. I felt like I was watching the orphan from afar and couldn't say or do anything to help. The second one made me feel like I was floating on water and the snow was falling on me in such a way the water around me started to freeze and i became stuck,frozen. But at the same time I was in utter awe by the surroundings I couldn't think. The third one took me on a journey through my memories and it felt as though they were being magically reshaped and the perspective was changing. I could see all the angles. But in the end it didnt matter and I just returned to my original state but at the same time my eyes were saying otherwise.

(i felt it as a fluctuation of wonder and melancholy.) the stars are so beautiful tonight, and the sky is the gentle love that once beckoned icarus to it. your entire life is ahead of you. “come,” they seem to say, “look at what you can do. look at what you become.” the world seems to sigh and it’s just you and the starry sea above you. “this lies ahead of you.” a strange feeling takes up your chest. the next breath rattles through you. it feels like mourning. this feels like regret. there is so much ahead of you and so much you will do but is it enough? when it is all done and over, have you done enough? been enough? loved enough? your young bones have the future laid out ahead of them and you cannot help but feel sorrow. you know this is the beginning but you cannot help but think it is too late. the breeze wraps around you in a hug. the stars twinkle as though winking, joyous with some secret you are not old enough to know the answer to - “oh little one, do not fret. there is so much you will be.” they laugh a timeless tune and they are young, they are ageless. there is no end and though you feel small looking out at the vision of greatness, you can hear the voices all the same. “we are waiting,” they whisper. “take your time. you have your whole life ahead of you. it is already over. we are here.” the melancholy steeps into your skin gently, like a tea bag diffusing slowly into water. it will be over far too soon, but at least it will have been. it’s strange, because you have not necessarily felt hope tonight but you rest assured that the night will still be there. after all, they are waiting. you are just here for the time being. take a breath. the world lingers behind.

Agree. There might have been one or two little things i would have changed but overall i like #2 too.

Rachmoninoff is best, he makes you wanna die, but he is best

[@lizzy8147]

It reminded me rachs piano concerto which is a freaking master work. I enjoyed it so much

All three of these pieces were absolutely phenomenal, but my favorite is a tie between Rron's and Rizal's. Rron's "Winter Fantasy" was so melodious and deep, and I'm a big sucker for slow music. As for Rizal's "Kintab", its story and music worked hand in hand so well, and it had such a beautiful concept so much passion. I just can't decide between them. Props to Rron for winning, btw.

[@malteasher7467]

I'm siding with kintab. The piece made me feel like I'm in love with someone with myself and with the world, it has this gentle, heart warming tone. Definitely gorgeous! 😭♥️

[@justalotofawesomestuff710]

Course the canadian composes about snow. Hes making us fit the stereotypes

The third piece made me tear up, I was imagining a world that was about to end and two lovers are sitting on top of a hill and watching it and saying their last goodbyes

This was so beautiful. I’ve recently been struggling with depression and I came to your channel to listen to piano and I had no idea how I would just completely fall in love with your playing and your fans composing. Your channel has given me so much happiness and hope and it’s something I’ll never be able to repay. Thank you so much ♥️

[@mjay8626]

JocelynAestheticCookie I appreciate the response. A lot of people throw this word around lightly and it’s hard to know when someone is actually feeling this way. I’ve been clinically diagnosed and am currently on my way to finding medications. Music is one thing that keeps me on my toes, and this video inspired me. :) thanks for putting that out there though, because it is an issue that isn’t talked about enough :)

[@magiczerda3120]

Literally all of these songs made me cry but the last one was next level beautiful it's not from this world it is literally on Arabesque level

[@nivivashenanigans4817]

The third one makes me feel like I'm reminiscing about the memories I have with someone I lost or are not with me anymore. I feel the happy moments, the sad and the frustrating but I feel joy in remembering as a whole

[@JacobSimpson]

I don't see how you could choose between these pieces 😂 They were all amazing but I think my favorite would be between Rizal's and Rron's. I still don't know if I'd be able to choose. All three did an amazing job!

[@MusicalBasics]

I wasn't able to, which is why I had to create a weird scoring system and enlisted 2 more judges to help! Thanks Jacob, I'm glad you enjoyed every piece!

[@piggyisatthebar7499]

I personally can’t decide which beautiful piece is my favorite, but I was deeply moved by every single piece written here! From a cold sorrow feeling to a brave mighty roar and to being warmly comforted by the soft sensation that drift me away in my thoughts and fantasy’s! They all made me sleepy, light and loosely relaxed by every note, chord played in all pieces. It was like being in the moment as if the piano itself was speaking its own tale! A good and bad side, pure and not so pure, deep and light, every one of these pieces are so mesmerizing! I even felt myself twitching when drifting off in my mind and dreams because it was like dragging me in! Sorry that this is too long but this is just amazing and very beautiful ☺️😌
