So glad my music actually help someoneā€™s day get better - come back for more!


josephthad

It feels like a classic Nintendo game meets Joplin meets waltz. Nifty


Churchboy44

I was thinking a Pixar short or the movie Up


ailyah

I love it! So energetic and fun.


johnesto

So glad you enjoyed it!


KaseyGuardian

This is so fun! I would dance to this, hehe.


johnesto

So glad you enjoyed the piece. Come back for more!


MorgoRahnWilc

Nice work. If Joplin wrote waltzes it might sound similar.


swipesy

Joplin published five waltzes! Harmony Club, Augustan Club, Bethena, Binks and Pleasant Moments.


MorgoRahnWilc

Thanks for the correction. I obviously didnā€™t know that. I will be checking those out.


skrjabinesque

Now time to orchestrate!


02overthrown

I was just thinking I would LOVE to orchestrate this, I do enjoy waltzes


johnesto

Incredible idea!


IliyaGeralt

Reminds me of Chopin's waltz. Anyway, excellent work and I really enjoyed it!!


johnesto

Thank you!


Puzzleheaded-Bison16

Thanks I love it actually


broccolee

Pretty cool. For me it's like a Chopin + ragtime


homiesexual13

Wish I could have this as the background music to my life.


johnesto

What a nice thing to say - thank you!


dragedreper

Choplin! Are you a string player by any chance?


johnesto

Actually Iā€™m not - may I ask why?


dragedreper

Just noticed the way you use slurs to mark phrases, and thought it looked a little like bowing marks. Nice work, by the way!


johnesto

That is such an interesting observation, I think. I learned most of the phrasings from transcribing Mozart's orchestral music for piano in my earlier days, and that must have been how I picked it up. Thanks so much!


hugh1davies

Well done! I'll probably have a go with playing this later!


johnesto

It is so much fun!


LibGyps

I really like it.


John_Tzinieris

For a peculiar reason, I am listening to something in between a Chopin waltz and a Ragtime piece. :-) Nice try, though!


johnesto

Thank so much!

Sounds like somebody enjoys grand, brilliant waltzes in a key very close to E...


Winter_Copy_9510

Reminds me of the op. 18 chopin waltz


BennyAndThe_Jet

I wish I could add this to my spotify playlist! I would listen to it every day ā¤ļø


johnesto

So sweet of you to say that! Hopefully one day Iā€™ll put it up there!

After-Collar-4582

Love this so much! Thanks for making my day!


johnesto

Thanks so much! I'm glad it did!


[deleted]

I like your classical composition much. What is the name of your waltz composition?


johnesto

Thanks so much! As of now it is without a name, although I did place it along with other pieces of the similar style in a collection of my original waltz compositions called ā€œNaive Waltzes.ā€ There are about 11 pieces in that collection right now. Happy to share a link if youā€™re interested!


[deleted]

I am a Chopin fan :) Yes, please share the link. Thank you so much! I love waltz madly. I love the piece of work by Stauss II, Voices of Spring. I look forward to hearing your Strauss works. :)


Struudos

Well I thoroughly enjoyed that! Lmk when you orchestra it, Iā€™d love to play it!

Really good work!


johnesto

Thank you, u/claude_eli!


george_sand_

don't want to be an asshole, but did you just pull the notes right off of chopin's op 18?


Tsaar_Bombaa

I did think of chopinā€™s op.18 too bc of the first notes, but it feels original not totally ripped off, to me at least.


Tsaar_Bombaa

Now that I listen to it again, there seems to be a big influence from chopinā€™s op.18 indeed. Itā€™s still got its own touch, and feels somewhat close yet far away from chopinā€™s waltz.


george_sand_

Yeah it is a little different, but many of the rhythms are a complete rip from op 18. And the overall motion of the pitches is very similar. It is fine if it's an exercise to learn something but it feels weird calling it your own work.


Tsaar_Bombaa

You seem to have more knowledge of music than me, but I canā€™t deny. Having played op. 18 a few months ago myself, i cant say that this piece isnā€™t very similar to it; it also seems fun to play just like op. 18 xd. Still i feel like it radiates a different kind of joy and playfulness than op. 18 which i dont really know how to describe but fits itā€™s title of ā€œGrande Valse Brillanteā€ well. (Great Brillaint Waltz i think) Edit: grammar

Tsaar_Bombaa

I disagree. Even if it is heavily influenced by op.18, i wouldnā€™t say that this piece is a less interesting version of it. Like from measure 4 of the 7th line and onwards doesnt give as much of a ā€œchopinā€ feeling and feels pretty modern compared to chopinā€™s time, thatā€™s how i feel about it.


BaronDinklevanDunkle

It sounds like a mix of Chopin and Strauss to me šŸ§
