Lucas Sweeney - sonata no. 1 (original composition)

[@classictastic]

“Hello guys, in today’s video we’re going to be listening to an ABSOLUTE GENIUS AT WORK.” Amazing piece. Well done 👏

[@gingersroc]

Well... I don't know if I would say that. It's a great piece of music though!

[@liszt132]

Incredible piece! This is a proof that there's still people making good music

[@_adorabubble]

this is INCREDIBLE WTF you're so unbelievably underrated dude. if i hadn't clicked this video and it had just come on on autoplay, i would have thought it was a famous composition or smth until i saw the title thank you for uploading

[@ozornoipesat8933]

The second movement is an absolute marvel, can't stop re-listening and enjoying it!

[@GregHarradineComposer]

A truly impressive composition Lucas. Simply stunning! Looking forward to hearing more of your work.

[@martinstotzer3466]

The final pointe - thank you for this.

[@gattinusmusicus5914]

I'm impressed, the music is so beautiful! 😮

[@funnyuser2796]

I'm so glad this appeared on my feed because this is amazing

[@brandynamite3022]

It seems like the first movement is heavily inspired by Ravel

[@popmushee]

Probably closer to mid-period Debussy

[@amcity-nu7vs]

Ondine, de Gaspard de la nuit?

[@amcity-nu7vs]

Yes, and the second Chopin ballade, and the third Rachmaninov concerto 2.

now this is the music ive been looking and waiting for in todays time THIS

[@Haze-nm7mf]

This piece is awesome, good job dude! You'll have a new follower

[@zarabuckley]

This is absolutely divine

[@davidgbrockway]

Stumbled upon this by complete accident, and I sure am happy about that. Beautiful compositions.

[@weareone1575]

Very nice. I think some more variation in the accompaniment during the first movement. Some of the figures feel over saturating at a certain point.

[@themedza6970]

love it, its like if a stravinsky melody was accentuated in the romantic style

[@陳志彬-v4u]

南無阿彌陀佛 感恩合十 謝謝您

[@Davi.K]

Keep it going 👏 it's incredible

[@jeremy8473]

This is great!

[@lashaguntaishvili7974]

The 3rd movement reminds me of rach Concerto. This sonata is perfect and beautiful ❤

[@geoking1907]

Wonderful piece!

[@tcclarinet]

Do you take commissions? I love this piece!

[@lucasesweeney]

@@tcclarinet I’ve never taken commissions before, but I’m pretty sure I’d be open to it

[@tcclarinet]

@@lucasesweeney Do you have a way I could contact you directly?

[@naphtanaptha]

very interesting. the first movement sounds very reminiscent of Ondine, the last two reminded me a lot of alkan!

[@akselpelkonen6604]

Alkan? Weird.

[@eddieandmaxie]

Okay this one is amazing

[@michaelpersil6573]

wonderful composition with attention to detail without losing the focus of the construction as a whole. also, when people comment on my own music and they compare it to other composers, i wonder if thats a compliment... anyways, i dont think your composition sounds like any composer ive heard till now.

[@wushuas]

No. 2 Sounds very funny half way through, but aside your composition sounds great!

[@lluisrafalessole-classical5068]

Fantastic music

[@arielorthmann4061]

Cool, can't wait to hear original music

[@Scherzo-j5y]

There is something from Chopin in the second movement ✨

[@Scherzo-j5y]

And the last movement reminds me of the first Rachmaninov's sonata

[@LucasFigueiredoBR]

Beautiful. Good job!

[@eyevon6387]

That 3rd movement reminds of Rachmaninoffs 2nd piano concerto

[@chuka_uwu]

and youre a wonderful pianist too :)

[@ElSarcasticoo]

For some reason the second movement gives me Fantasie Improptu and Ballade no.1 (Chopin) vibes

[@lucasesweeney]

@@ElSarcasticoo structurally it’s very much inspired by the ballade, so good catch!

[@JLTraducoeseCorrecoes]

Well done!

[@陳志彬-v4u]

Beautiful

[@carmartrigo]

Amazing! I love it.

[@matt_hewillow]

adorable!

[@cesia_4430]

Que hermoso se escucha 😮😮

[@abrahamsonpiano]

May I ask what your recording setup is? The sound is very clear.

[@lucasesweeney]

@@abrahamsonpiano it’s recorded using my Yamaha digital piano and the native instruments grandeur piano VST. I plan on recording future compositions on my real Boston upright piano, but recording equipment can be veryyyy expensive so I’m still working on that.

[@abrahamsonpiano]

@lucasesweeney wow, impressive to get that quality of playing and sound from an electric. Well done. And congratulations on writing a sonata, thats a lot of work. Best of luck recording on the acoustic. I've yet to figure it out 😁

[@陳志彬-v4u]

Thanks very very much 🙏 🙏 🙏

[@quietneighborhoodproductio4936]

how can you have such experience!!

[@mossmossmoss]

This is so good! It reminds me a lot of Debussy. Is it okay if I try orchestrating some of it?

[@lucasesweeney]

@@mossmossmoss thank you! Also yes of course you can orchestrate it if you’d like

[@Gustinante]

The left hand reminds me of Debussy

[@陳志彬-v4u]

Grateful

[@陳志彬-v4u]

Praise God

[@chefmaster2001]

Gorgeous !! Keep it up, people will study your works for years to come

[@marinadela1361]

Should have used 3 staves to write some sections such as 4:20. But that's merely the visual aspect. The music sounds incredible!

[@MarcosFear-e1m]

Poderia se chamar de sinos de vento

[@Ravionne]

Hello, I really liked it. Would it be possible for me to add this to a video playlist?

[@lucasesweeney]

@@Ravionne of course

[@陳志彬-v4u]

[@pianobar-bartoszsobczynski1321]

Is this your own performance, or did you run it through a software? Personally, I love the first movement, which sounds just like you'd summon the ghosts of Ravel's "Ondine" and Chopin's Etude in c minor op. 25 no. 12.

[@CrockUBot]

Its beautiful how did you learn to compose so well?

[@carloscg9720]

¡Bellísimo! Will it be in Spotify in a future???

[@lucasesweeney]

@@carloscg9720 yes it will! I just have to work on an album cover and submitting it to distribution services

[@bruggbruh]

can you be my mentor

[@gingersroc]

The first movement was great to listen through,.but I wasn't impressed with the following two movements. Great work still; you use motivic ideas in a nuanced manner.

[@adanayup9268]

Suena a Debussy y también al autor de la música de la película de el piano. Pero suena bien...

are you self taught? obviously not in performance, im asking if in composition

[@lucasesweeney]

@@texanfrog1750 I’ve been taught a few basic things, through my piano teacher, AP music theory and such but everything else I’ve kind of just picked up from analyzing the music that I like to play and listen to, so I guess a little self taught?

[@renatoaraujo6108]

Please change title to include your name like "Lucas Sweeney - Sonata nº 1". Thats a great work
