What is this piece??

[danielle1990]

Does anybody know the name/composer of this piece?

It starts at 1:00:34
I hope somebody recognize it! Thanks I've been searching it for a while now! The desciption beneath the video isn't correct.. It says Chopin - Preludio In Mi Minore Op. 28 N. 4, but that's not right..

[Bob]

Chopin Minute Waltz.

[Bob]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minute_Waltz

 Waltz in D-flat major, Op. 64, No. 1, popularly known as the Minute Waltz

[danielle1990]

That's not the piece I meant.. It's after the Minute Waltz.. On my computer it starts exactly on 1:00:34

According to the list below it's supposed to be: Chopin - Prelude Op. 28 N. 4, which it clearly isn't.

It sounds very much like Handel.

[danielle1990]

Oke thank you.. I will search through the music of Handel.. I hope I can find it!
So, if anybody else knows this piece, please let me know

You could try contacting the publisher or whoever this business is...

If they respond.  Maybe they would know more.  It's got their name attached to incorrect information.


The chord progressions might tell us more about which time period it's from.

[danielle1990]

I tried that.... They didn't answer me
Still don't know what it is! Does anyone have a clue??

[danielle1990]

Oh, I see that they edit the description beneath the video. It's now:
Anonimo - Piano Sonata ( 1:00:34 )
So, they don't even know what the piece is...

[linaspc]

danielle1990 - did you ever find out what the piece is? My son loves this piece and wants to learn to play it.

Did Smetana ever write any piano pieces? Because it really reminded me (texturally - a little) of Smetana's Ma Vlast...

[j_menz]

Did Smetana ever write any piano pieces?

Quite a lot of them.

Barenreiter publishes quite a few. Schott does a "best of" volume.

[Bob]

Is that a duet?  That would explain why it sounds a bit heavy...

Is it possible for one person to reach all that?

[Bob]

I'm hearing...
e to G
a to C
back to e eventually.

[richard black]

Sounds to me like a transcription of Bach (but possibly someone else) done by someone like Reger or Siloti, but a quick search on YouTube didn't bring me any confirmation. I think it is one pianist playing. as I can't hear any chords or passages completely unreachable by two hands.

[Bob]

What about a Liszt transcription?

Or something originally for organ?

Is the left hand octaves?  Who writes like that, unless it's an arrangement or transcription?

It does play with that one motive a lot.  Something Bach would do.   I don't know about the modulation (or tonicization) though....


I'll dig up a book that might help....

[Bob]

So much for Barlow's Thematic Dictionary....

This almost sounds like an etude.  It's short.  The treble is just running down a triad.  The bass is doing the opposite.

[liszt1022]

Sounds like Baroque concerto / concerto grosso in E minor arranged for four hands, if that helps.

Sounds like Baroque concerto / concerto grosso in E minor arranged for four hands, if that helps.

Sounds a little too Romantic I think for the Baroque period... in my opinion.

Hi,

some parts of the piece sounded familiar to me. At first, as others stated, too, I thought of a transcription e.g. by Stradal, slightly varied, of the Brandenburg Concerto Nr. 3, G major.

https://javanese.imslp.info/files/imglnks/usimg/1/1b/IMSLP25251-PMLP05337-Bach_-_Stradal_-_Brandenburg_No.3.pdf

( There are e-minor parts in it, too, but one could refer to the beginning, too, I think. )

But I thought further, back into the past times, when long forgotten but super films were made.. .

Please listen to the questionable piece which is in my quote of mikeowski above, again, but start from exactly 1:01:00 ...

and then... listen to this one, from ca. 1:08 or from ca. 2:05:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTpjlvFWvi0

So, may be a modern composition, disguised as an "old" one? 

Please note, that on this list,

https://www.halidon.it/musica-c1-artisti_vari_il_pianoforte_the_best_of_piano-g3318.html

an "anonymus-sonata" isn't mentioned ( but 4 numbers seem to be missing, too, perhaps movements (?), according to the counting ). ( And note that the 1st Liszt-Concert isn't in "IN MI BEMOLLE MINORE", but should be in "mi bemolle MAGGIORE". )

So, may be, the "anonymus sonata" could have been a Youtuber's joke.    Or, someone will find out more about it.

Good night, everyone, and greetings from: 8_octaves!

Just wondering whether anyone has an information about this piece that has been discussed way back in 2013. I heard it recently and fell in love with it. Need to find it! Please help!!

[danielle1990]

Still don't know what it is....
So, maybe there is someone now who knows it?

Have you compared the recording to the anonymous sonata listing posted on imslp.org?

https://imslp.org/index.php?title=Category:Anonymous&pagefrom=Pavane+0018+a+0006~~anonymous%0APavane+18+%C3%A0+6+%28Anonymous%29#mw-pages

[jeffok]

Just my $.02 worth:

I think those who have suggested an arrangement of something from the organ repertoire may be on the right track. It definitely seems to have organ-ic texture. It's clearly an arrangement from the 19th century or early 20th. Because of the mono-thematic quality though, I wondered if it might be an arrangement of the Sinfonia from one of Bach's Cantatas...? Unfortunately, I don't know them well enough to recognize more than a couple.

best wishes,
jeff ok

This is a Beethoven piece, BAGATELLE:  Fur Elise WoO 59

It is a very popular piece of music for piano students to learn how to play but it is difficult to achieve a good standard of performance. You can download the pianostreet instructive score on this website.
Hope that helps.

Nope, afraid you are listening to an incorrect section of the recording:

I've read your question and I am pretty sure I've got the answer.
How I find my answer. I opended up siri and ask "what is this song?", and suprisingly it got it. The name of the song is Charlie Mac - Honky Tonk

If this helped you please reply me. Thanks

I listened to this just now.  Here are my thoughts after 1 quick hearing (actually I did not listen to all of it):  This sounds like it was written by a current pop composer composing kind of in the style of Handel or other Baroque composer.  Sort of like Karl Jenkins who wrote Palladio (the Debeers diamonds music).  Palladio kind of sounds like Vivaldi.  I know this doesn’t help much.  Just my $.02 worth.

Edit: I just listened to the first 1 minute again.  This piece actually sounds less authentic to me than "Palladio".  I will be very surprised if it was not written by a pop composer.  Not the best quality music to my ears (to say it as nicely as I can).   Schlock art imo.  I do kind of like the Diamond song "Palladio" though.

And yet it ended up on a classical music compilation CD put out in 2013 at the latest?

This does say 2013 also though....
https://charliemacuk.bandcamp.com/album/instrumentals-vol-iii

I'm still thinking that's just borrowed, maybe even the exact audio off the original CD.  If no one can find the piece or composer there won't be any copyright policy knocking on doors unless this other CD starts making a lot of money.
