It strongly reminds me of Scriabin piano concerto, 1st part. You totally should check it out if you're into that type of dramatical tuttis

Fantastic. I find E minor and E major to be right at home for me when playing piano. I started a one movement piano concerto back in 2019 in E minor. It's "done", just not orchestrated. It was to be premiered at the Sao Paolo Contemporary Composers Festival back in 2020. The shutdowns and lockdowns really affected me and I lost a lot of drive and enthusiasm to complete. Videos like yours over these past 2 years have given me inspiration to revisit and finally finish my work.

This is one of my favorite concertos, and I think it rivals the greats in term of quality

Sounds like a nice blend between schwarenka and Rachmaninov. Love it

I can definitely hear the rach inspirations, this is extremely beautiful! As a bassonist I'm also especially glad you gave all parts some nuance to them! Overall this concerto is amazing!

I couldn't stop until the end, you've really done an amazing work and need much more visibility ! Congratulations :)

This is really good !!!!! Is the music out ?? I would love to learn this piece.. you did a FANTASTIC JOB !!!!!

Nice rhythms and motives!! Amazing

Lovely Piano Concerto! It reminds me of someone who's trying to find peace, but ends up destroying it eitherway, so encapsulent of human nature. Also it reminds me of the structure of Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 3 Mvt. 1; repeating the first theme near the end, combined with his Piano Concerto No. 2 Mvt. 1, with the last few measures. Last parts were also reminiscent of Liszt's Transcendental Etudes btw. :) Thank you for helping us convince that classical music today is still great! Good job! Kudos to the composer!

This is absolutely insane!

this brought me to tears this is so utterly beautiful and the melodies are comparable to Rach I am so impressed. This is true romanticism!!

Amazing! Completely and fenomenal Job. I really liked all the passage and expositions of romanticism and contemporaneous visions of impressive technical music

I often come to hear your piece and start crying...

I see some hate in this comment section but I thought it was amazing, and I’ve been composing for almost 7 years so I do have a little experience lol. My favorite part was the solo section with the French horn and strings, along with the cadenza! Amazing work!!!!

is no one gonna talk about the part at 11:33? It just sounds so mystical and then going right into the coda after is absolutely amazing. very nice work

well done sir, i hope one day your composition gets played by a real orchestra

I am disgusted by the elitism in this comment section. This concerto sounds great! Keep up the great work!

gosh this would be awesome to listen to in person

Wow that's amazing!!! I hope for you there will be a real performance of it, I'll be very happy to perform it in the future.

Best piano concerto i've heard from someone on youtube! Absolutely fantastic composition!

Very nice. I compose tonal music and always appreciates when someone else takes the time and effort to do so with skill. I really like yours.

Not sure why the comments section is a wardrobe but I think it’s a really good composition 😮 exited to see your next piece!

This is Great! I hope to one day be able to write something like this.

This sounds really cool, great work man!

First time on your channel Nick. Nice job with the orchestration of this concerto. Really... you put a lot of work and thought into it... you MUST continue being YOU... don't let anything deter you from that. I see far more positive comments here than negative but still... keep writing my friend. You got my LIKE & SUBSCRIBE! FYI - As a fellow composer I love writing in tonality. I would go as far as to say I like to let the music drift in & out of tonalities... sometimes letting in wander far far into the eclectic realm. You got a lot of inventiveness brother. Keep 'em coming!

Absolutelly astonishing! This is such a great piano concerto, the harmonies, structure and form - all perfect, pleasant, passionate and emotional! Am also a composer, but i compose only for solo piano, I want to compose a piano concerto too and I can learn from this piece a lot! Your instrumentation is awesome!

Beautiful and somewhat impressive :-)

7:00 eargasm, brilliant!

Wow! I am impressed! This piece has a modern taste, and at the same time, it has a deep respect for those sweet traditions of Romantic piano concerti. Had I not seen the publication date, I would have assumed that it was an envelope-pushing British or American composer from the 1930s. Please continue writing! The orchestration sounds rich - all hail the Musescore development team! The orchestration at 06:58-07:22 is mind-blowing! There are so may little souvenirs, and easter eggs in the text: 03:40 - a nod to Tchaikovsky, 05:23 to Moszkowski, 06:29 to Chopin 06:34 to Rach 2... This work is quite refreshing, and I am so happy that piano concerti are still written!

Bravo, Maestro! I genuinely do not know where to start. I'm someone who absolutely adores big, romantic, and moving concertos; Rachmaninoff, Tchaikovsky, and Prokofiev are always on loop at home. You really created something that, at least to me, is a perfect piece of music. It's extremely moving, the themes are beautiful, and the nuances are very well balanced. I was almost bawling my eyes out at the end; this is one of the most moving pieces of music I've listened to in a while. Please never stop creating music; you got a gift from God.

After hearing that, I understand every thing... Every atom, every particle, every beings, every abstract concepts... It all makes sense now that I listened to an incredible piece by Nick Wooden. Maybe I go too far but I've rarely listened to such excellent music. Thank you, continue like this

How can I compose like u this is so good

Not sure if this was on purpose but I appreciate the Mili reference in 10:02, Amazing composition btw

An amazing work! I personally would give solo in 121 bar to clarinet, considder trying it. Overall a great piece

amazing

I couldn't stop listening! This is a gorgeous composition!! I assume Movements 2 and 3 are out there, or at least are coming up!?!?

Really interesting and beautiful ! I'm very impatient to discover the other movements ! Congratulations and thanks for sharing !

Bravo

A few things. Violins cannot have slurs written over when there is tremelo. When writing pizz, dont put staccato on it, pizz already creates a staccato effect. Im not sure why 2nd theme is introduced in E major. Im not sure about this choice of instruments either. the brass especially, and if you are writing in pairs which is what i assume, then you have to clearly state that and reflect it in the rest of the orchestra. Overall this is on the better side of compositions. Good job!

there's a large difference between being an elitist, and not sitting back when someone with no experience sullies the art by pretending that literally anyone can do it, no matter the actual skill or experience. he sould be improving his craft, writing simple songs. not whole concertos.

​@@Whatismusic123 I just want to be supportive and give constructive criticism where possible. Classical music isn't an exclusive club for people with a proper music education. If anything, I don't understand how an ambitious beginner composition made on MuseScore and posted on KZread could possibly "sully the arts." It reminds me of Milton Babbitt's idea from "Who Cares if You Listen?" that separates "serious music" from the public. This kind of attitude has caused the slow death of classical music that we all know and love. 🙄🙄 If we want to see the arts continue to the next generation, it's going to happen with education and fostering a good attitude around classical music, even if that means they're not going to understand everything because classical music is so complex and fascinating. But I agree that when a composer is starting out it is much more advantageous to produce quantity over quality. The more pieces you make at a small scale the more mistakes you'll make but the more you'll learn. Plus it allows you to experiment with new time sigs, polyrhythms, and stuff. Anyhow, I don't mean this to sound contrary, I just want the composer to keep composing and learning!

@@etc.-1912 you really think the reason classical music has died is because it's too elitist? Really? The reason it has died is because there hasn't been even a single even remotely competent composer since the death of scriabin. It's a race to the bottom. Music education is now a cult. And everyone can write a piano concerto on their first year of composition. Producing quantity over quality is exactly the problem. They never actually learn, they just write tons of garbage, and continue writing garbage until they've died of old age. They develop bad habits by writing garbage, they never have a clear understanding of what is good, and people like you fester those beliefs with blind praise more harsh than any blind hate that has been said.

@@Whatismusic123 You're right: I don't think it died because people are elitist. Realistically, it is dying because people don't listen to it as much as they used to. Orchestras cease to exist because people stop coming to their concerts. And in order for them to continue to exist, they will need to work on retention of their audience by whatever means. And in order for the pursuit of a music education to be viable, there need to be jobs for students when they leave college. Right now for classical composers, the most common job that they have is to get a job teaching music, and in this sense, you are absolutely right that this pattern has slowly turned contemporary classical music into the academic, inaccessible, and bizarre beast that it is today. I think Milton Babbitt said what he said because as a product of academia, his audience was other academics. So, I can see why you would call it a "cult," but I don't think the problem started there. Regardless of the cause, even if there were a formidable composer, it would matter very little unless they could build and maintain an audience. Craft is important, but at the end of the day, music is made to be listened to. And people don't seem to like Scriabin as much as people did in the early 20th century, which is sad because he's one of my favorite composers. 🥲🥲 What's your favorite piece by Scriabin? Mines probably Scriabin Sonata Number 5, his first and third symphony, and his Poem of Ecstasy. Personally, the way he pioneered extended harmony, dissonance, and tritone relationships has always fascinated me, and the continued pursuit of it's use in tertian, quartal, and quintal harmony and non-traditional cadences has been a recurrent pattern of pursuit in my own compositions and study. Here's a video that explains my stance on classical music better than me, and I'm sure you can find someone there who's smarter than me too. 😂😂 kzread.info/dash/bejne/aYx4ytF7kazQZMo.html

Great work

Man you need to consider doing it live , i think the program didn't do it well. its great stuff and would def sound a lot better live

This is a lovely work, I enjoyed it a lot, well done. I got some touches of the Warsaw concerto every now and then, was this an influence in your writing? Also I hear some Rach influences. It held my attention from beginning to end, not an easy thing to do these days. Do you have a physical piano? I ask because in my own work I have my piano hooked up to my notation software and I get the software to play the piano, then record the audio directly from the piano and mix it together with the orchestra. That way, you get an "almost" live piano sound which I think would add much to your audio, but nonetheless, a really nice piece.

A Japanese person passing by was doing the same thing. Hello. I'm also uploading a piano concerto as an original composition, although I can't play any instruments. It's really difficult to have a full orchestra. It was very easy to listen to, and the piano had a very pleasant sound as well. 2nd movement, 3rd movement. . . I look forward to listening to the sequel. Thank you.

Omfg!!! I really would like to watch this concert in live! I hope you have the chance of working with a real orchestra and a concert pianist, 'cause u made something so emotional and great, everybody should have see it! Congrats, excellent work.

Beautiful work! I happened to stumble across this piece today and had a great time listening to it. I love the motifs you chose and worked on, as well as the way you embedded the piano in the orchestra sound. There are only a few passages I'd like to comment on for instrumentation, like the trumpet part in measure 15. Having the trumpet play in such a high register makes her stand out quite a lot and keeps it from mixing with other instruments too well, not too mention that playing softly in that register is quite challenging even for seasoned players. The clarinet would make a good replacement there (or you might even give the trumpet a rest for that bar as the flutes and oboes double the part anyway). The flute part in measure 128 is pretty much the exact opposite, as in the low register the flute has trouble projecting, so replacing (or even doubling) the flute with the oboe there would help make it stand out more. (Compare it to 219 where the high register carries the flute sound way better.) Can't wait to hear more from the concerto!

Interesting! Good orchestration

Thank you so much for this beautiful piece! I only have a couple of criticisms, which I hope you don't mind me sharing. Firstly, I think the motif (sol fa sol re) is repeated too much for my liking. I know it's the main subject but I would have liked to have heard more motifs or themes. A concerto's first movement should have at least two main themes, no? Secondly, I think way too much of the piece is in e minor. You have that part in e major at 4:00 which I'm presuming is the second subject (?) but there isn't much modulation, in fact most of the piece in e minor. Even in the cadenza you did not modulate, or perhaps there were only very brief passing modulations. The cadenza is not just a place for pianists to show off their virtuosity, it is also a way for pianists to show off their counterpoint and skills at modulation. Modulating to a distant key is a great way to show off, as well as having a small fughetta or canon. I didn't even know if there was a development section it certainly didn't sound like there was. Even if this was not composed in sonata form modulation is essential if you do not want the listener's ears to tire of hearing the same motifs over and over again. Aside from that, you have a great grasp of orchestration, piano writing, melody, dynamics, and there is lots of variation and contrast! I like how you pass the melody around between the different instruments, and the piano does not dominate the piece. So many youtube composers are too formulaic in their writing, perhaps due to laziness and the ability to copy and paste, but you seem to avoid this evil. Keep at it and don't be discouraged!

Bravooo!!!👏👏👏👏👏💐💐💐💐💐

Right Nick I like the concerto. Great rachmaninoff styling to your composition. My only critique is that from the cadenza to the end doesn’t work for me. I feel it’s an anticlimax after already building up so nicely. Just my view. The cadenza doesn’t work at all for me. And we need those main Melodies with piano and full orchestra again as a climax.

Wow really good

Very inspired by Rachmaninoff, I see! 👍

3:58 me gusto mucho esa parte y el piano de la obra pero no me gusto mucho la orquestación

Very reminiscent of Chopin's 1st concerto-wonderfully written pianistic filigree! See the rachmaninoff influence with the 2nd concerto-esque figure in the 2nd theme.

Homage to Rachmaninoff. I love it

Hi ! I really want to play the cadanza do you have a PDF of this ?

let the complainers complain, shall they come with something better! Very nice effort! I have only one thing which I stumbled upon, the total Tacet of the orchestra at m. 30 sounds somehow strange.
