Nokturn, played by another great pianist from Poland. What do you think? Recently I am losing the motivation to write music. Seems like like our running world has less and less space for classical music. 1 Quote

There's no need to use word to describe it. Every notes just tell its story, like Chopin's work. 12 hours ago, Tom_Kor said: Recently I am losing the motivation to write music. Seems like like our running world has less and less space for classical music. It's easy to be disappointed to the world nowadays. War, sadness and tragedy just happen around us every day. What's the point to compose classical music? It seems like even if we compose, that's not going to improve the world a little bit. All is hopeless and lost. But at least we can help preserve that beauty of music and humanity through our music, even though it sounds overconfident and overreaching to say so. We can also record our sadness, joy, fear, anger, pleasure in our music. We can put our thinking into it. We can use music as a means to connect the metaphysical world of religion, culture and morality, and the material world of sound. If we ourselves can give meaning to our music, no one else can steal or erase it, even most of our works and ourselves will disappear without a trace. Time cannot erase something precious that has appeared once, no matter how short that is. Of course we have to make sure we ARE really trying our best to write good music. But we also have to prepare for the meaningful side of music too. 12 hours ago, Tom_Kor said: played by another great pianist from Poland What an honour that is to have your work played a great pianist!

I still have to listen to this one + the one played by Diego Salazar (which went unnoticed a bit) in order to see which one convinces me the most. In any case it's a good work and It'd have been good to have the score at hand to read it while the pianist performs. In any case it's, as Henry said, very poetic and honest. The performance helps a lot in these kind of pieces where expressiveness and pedal handling is crucial. Liked and subscribed BTW :).

Well mate that's really up to you. What's your most powerful reason to compose? Do you like what you do? Isn't that enough in worst case scenario? Even lack of motivation to write music can be a reason to write music, as long as you want to compose nothing that happen next should worry you. Again, in worst case scenario, you'll have produced a nice piece and people from here and perhaps other forums or sites will value and perhaps even like it. If there's no space for "classical" music, I don't know but stopping making it will not create more room for it. On the contrary, so in my opinion you should keep writing! Kind regards, and thank you for sharing this version of your nocturne!! It does really sound good. 1 Quote
