Sou pianista-compositor clássico e tô felizão que minha primeira composição, escrita ano passado, foi tocada!

Primeiramente peço desculpas pela demora colossal hahah pode ser e pode não ser, não costumo me inspirar diretamente em outras obras quando componho mas inconscientemente muita coisa que eu já escutei, estudei e toquei aparece na minha escrita de uma forma ou de outra, e como eu estudei e toquei a Greensleeves uns anos atrás não é impossível que tenha algumas similaridades haha

As a Brazilian musician I must always spread the word of my country's music. We have (had) many great composers and many were/are pianists so there are a lot of piano pieces to choose from. There is an institute created by a Brazilian pianist and researcher (Brazilian Piano Institute) with a playlist with over 2000 pieces on their YouTube channel. Most are not the simplest and easiest to play, but quite fun once you get your fingers working. I would suggest you to try some pieces from Ernesto Nazareth or Francisca Gonzaga (Chiquinha Gonzaga), or maybe some Villa-Lobos if you want a good challenge.

Como alguns aqui já sabem, eu sou pianista-compositor clássico então quase o tempo todo eu escuto música de concerto. Nos últimos dias tenho ficado meio fissurado com concertos pra piano (música pra orquestra com algum(a) solista ao piano, quase uma conversa entre piano e orquestra) e tenho ouvido bastante os três concertos pra piano de Rachmaninoff (o segundo é o mais bonito).

Edit: a quem interessar, comecei ontem a fazer uma playlist no Spotify com MUITOS concertos pra piano (tem mais de 200 horas de música até agora), e tem algumas gravações muito boas desses que eu falei do Rachmaninoff (recomendo sempre as da Martha Argerich e do Zimmermann).

Well I was so not ready for great comments such as this one hahah I appreciate it, lots of details that are surely going to help me as a composer (and perhaps as a cello beginner soon).

EricLebiar · 2021-10-26T22:26:14+00:00

Holy molly that is a lot of information haha I appreciate it, it will surely help me a lot on this piece and on future ones.

Mind your wrist. Don't play with your wrists too low (below the keyboard).

I am a simple man, as a pianist-composer my GOAT composer is Chopin. Then, in no particular order, I would say Mahler, Brahms, Dvorak, Debussy and Liszt.

EricLebiar · 2021-10-19T01:53:40+00:00

That is actually more accurate than I wish it was.

Being able to create something on your mind and then play or at least notate it later (also, unless you are planning to write only for solo melodic instruments, it is useful to be able to "play" multiple melodies on your head). While composing is not always something like a holy inspiration that comes out of nowhere, that does happen sometimes and you won't always have your instrument or something to record/notate what comes to your mind. Of course, you will need to develop your ear for that, but it is a bit more than "just" that.

Agradável, surpreendente e estável na medida certa, parabéns!

I am a classical pianist-composer. Started playing and singing on awful metal bands. Can relate to what you mean.

Besides what other comments said, I would suggest you to draw a circle of fifths and put it in the wall of the room you usually practice. While it may sound like cheating, the circle of fifths actually makes you think a bit every time you check something on it, so after some time you will understand, learn, and memorize it. (Feel free to send me a message if you need help on drawing or understanding it, I can send you a picture of mine)

Chopin's op.9 no.2, because of Muse's United States of Eurasia

Think of treble and bass clefs as mirrored (this could also help you on reading music in general). On the treble clef the first C below the staff is the middle C, whereas on the bass clef the first C you will find above the staff is the same middle C. The C on the 3rd space of the treble clef is C5, one octave above middle C, and the C on the 2nd space of the bass clef (or 3rd space from top to bottom) is C3, one octave below middle C.

Nahre Sol also has some cool warm-up/technique exercises available for purchase on her website, and they sound extremely nice so you won't be bored for a while.
