Ashot Danielyan - Waltz in G

Video: https://youtu.be/AfVQB4Bo_v8
First, a confession.
I don’t play Etude No.1 as fast as Mr. Glass indicated in his score. The honest truth? It’s a little too fast for me—and for Mme Bechstein, as I call my piano. But perhaps that’s part of the charm of this version: it’s a bit slower, more grounded. And in that space, something opens up. The dynamic expression has room to breathe. The tempo becomes a gently rising tide, like waking up slowly, aligning fingers, mind, and breath into harmony.

Admittedly, this is a rather personal interpretation. I’m not entirely sure Mr. Glass would give it his blessing. But then again, it is an etude—and I find this piece simply wonderful.

Over the past weeks, it has become something of a quiet companion in the early hours of the day. I’ve worked from the published score, gradually sketching my own notation to help understand how the sections interlock, how the pulse shifts and evolves. This slow discovery revealed a surprising depth—a kind of secret logic running beneath the surface.

There’s something endlessly captivating about Glass’s harmonic language. It’s modern, never cloying, and crafted with quiet intelligence. His use of subtle shifts—almost imperceptible at first—creates patterns that, through repetition, become almost meditative.

This recording isn’t about perfection or polish and not meant to compete with the many beautiful renditions already out there, performed on the most luxurious grand pianos. It’s my personal take—played honestly, on my own instrument, at my own pace. A moment captured in sound, without the pressure to impress.

If you’re a pianist—especially one still finding their way, as I am—I warmly encourage you to spend time with this piece. It has a way of revealing itself slowly, like light unfolding across a morning room. And perhaps, in its simplicity, you’ll find something of yourself reflected there.

I’d love to hear how this piece resonates with you. Leave a comment if you’d like to share your thoughts or your own experience with Glass’s music.

Yours truly,
Sebastian Morawietz

Studio Diaries: Glass Etude No.1 – My Morning Ritual

Hey, it’s me again.

Today’s post is a quiet snapshot from a rainy afternoon in the studio. I was sitting at the Bechstein, playing around with textures and loops, and this short improvisation just happened — simple, moody, and full of echo.

It’s part of an ongoing shift I feel in my work: towards more atmosphere, more grain, more space. The setup is still evolving, but this recording captures a moment of transition — somewhere between felt piano and layered soundscapes. A loop emerged, and I followed it.

If you’d like to see the video version of this moment, you can find it here:

And as always — if it resonates, feel free to leave a like or share a thought. Thanks for listening.

Yours truly,
Sebastian

Refugio de Luz

Listen

Danza de Reflejos

Evening Meal

Through signs that never arrive and streetlights that refuse to shine, light makes its way through broken streets and fading echoes. Veins of neon pulse in the shadows, fragile but enduring, while the mechanisms of silence turn ceaselessly. In this fragile geometry, illumination emerges not as brilliance, but as presence, gently carried, born of a silent persistence.
