this Hijaz Arabic vibes reminds me Isaac Albéniz.  I love your piano technique and the ornaments are played very clear👏👏👏

Amazing what a shift of a semitone can do.  Those thrilling runs

Yes, you really make your piano sing! 💎

Firstly, a totally captivating piece, Konrad and another that highlights your playing skills.  Thanks also for the comprehensive description, from which this humble drummer learned so much!

Wonderful work Konrad, very engaging piece, and certainly with an eastern flavor.

Ppl Talkin

That's Just PPL Talkin

Well, the song‘s title is relatively straight-forward. Due to the harmonies that sound (at least for me) quite oriental and the unsquare metra at some parts, this song reminds me of one of my all-time most favourite books. I leave it up to you, dear Listener, to imagine, how this specific tale evolves .

Composition-wise: The piece is in a scale (a-a#-c#-d-e-f-g-a) that is not an ecclestical mode but rather influenced by oriental scales. I read a bit about Persian music and though this scale also does not seem to occur in the Persian Dastgah system with its microtonal intervals, it still it reminds me of 1001 nights – can‘t help the cliche, hope, this is not understood as cultural appropriation ;-). 
The first minute until 1:07 the piece oscillates between just two harmonies (based on a and a#). Thereafter, the track shifts to the more lyric Dorian mode (d-f-g-a-b-c). The arpeggios starting @ 1:37 are meant to resemble a Persian tar. Thereafter, @ 2:11 the track reverts to the finish with the original tune but 1 tone lower (ie, the scale starts with g instead of a) and some minor rhythmic variations vs the beginning. 
The base rhythm is a 4/4, though this is interrupted frequently by syncopes to allow for a more free floating rhythmic texture. Moreover, the underlying 4/4 is at times interrupted by beats of length 6/4 (e.g. @ 0.14, 1:11, 2:25, 2:44,… ). 

The track has been recorded on a Roland FP-90 and mastered in Cubase by adding compressor, reverb, a Stereo enhancer and fiddling a bit with the EQ.
The picture was created with Stable Diffusion. I find it fascinating that most of the figures upon closer inspection make little anatomic sense but still our brain accepts them upon a short glance as a perfectly valid picture.

Scheherazades Tale (Solo Piano)

SNAKE AND BIRD

So how'd it happen?
How'd that dragon find its way?
Well it could be the dynamic was truly spermatic
The power gets jammin when bones set to rammin
The power leaves its lair, rises high into the air 
one and one now making two 
and with some luck through the action
of fermentational putrefaction 
the mix falls to rest in the mesh of the nest

The dragon is a serpent set apart by her wings
From the Old world to the New world
She's here there and everywhere
And it's not like Europe and the Middle East
And India and Asia all got together
And said "I know let's make a freak
With scales and feathers and a fiery crest
And 300 eyes. Let's make it a contest
See who can make the ugliest ass freakingest creature you've ever seen from coast to coast
See who can scare the children the most"...

Then some just drew him as a big long snake
But then others said "naw that don't take"
So they gave him stubby reptile legs
Or chunky bird or tiger legs
Sometimes two and sometimes four
With one big head, no, two or three
More room for 300 eyes you see...
And then they had to make him fly
So they looked up to the sky
And with their Googles scanning far
They surely saw him in the stars
Big Dipper made the body and a wing
And the other wing came from the bear
And the tail pooched out
And the head pooched out
Now, I know y'all think I make up shit
But there's folks who see him up there to this day
All up there on display
They do...

They reel, they wheel
The snake and the bird
Together forever
The portal of heaven
The cave of creation
The reel they wheel
The snake and the bird...

I must admit all de facto
That I relate to the draco
I've seen my fiery fate on the Babylonian gates
Carved in pictographs and painted on Chinese vases
My forehead all bejeweled and framed in fiery mane
But how'd the sky's favorite daughter become a creature of the water?
Leviathan, ye who spray the fire of the seas!
Well it could be the dynamic was truly spermatic
The power of the fish got sent and mixed with the power of the serpent
The power left the lair and rose high into the air
One and one now making two in the swirl of the whirlpool
The mix fell to rest in the mesh of the nest
Split the eggs of the eagles
And out flew snakes with wings
Reptiles of the air
But the fish was still all up in there
So some fell to the seas
Became the whales of the seas
The great whales, so you see
So you see how mythology can truly mess your mind
But I divine
That all that is produced could never be set loose without the word
It has to be called out
And it has to be heard

The fish, the word, the snake and the bird

Paroles / Lyrics :

Quand le jour pâlit
Nul besoin de lit
Pour y soulager
Nos âmes âgées

Nous invite ardemment
Le repos des amants

Nos corps s'étreignent
Avant que ne s'éteignent
Les dernières lueurs
En paix et sans heurt

Nous invite ardemment
Le repos des amants

Tous deux enlacés
Vêtements froissés
Tel un tour de passepasse
La fatigue trépasse
Brillent à l'intérieur
nos sentiments rieurs
consummant
le repos des amants

Ces étincelles
entrouvrent le ciel
plus aucune douleur
plus aucune couleur
juste une lumière
une douceur familière
nous mènent évidemment
au repos des amants

nous mènent évidemment
au repos des amants

nous mènent évidemment
au repos des amants

le repos des amants

Le repos des amants

My shift has ended and I'm at home.
I've ascended and my mind is free to roam.
I've no direction. Pick up my phone
and call you up 'cause I'm so tired of bein' alone.
Girl, I need you here all the time.
I always have since the day you became mine.
With you I have no fears. You ease my mind.
And every time I think of you, you send shivers down my spine.
I'm in love.
With you, I'm happy 
and exactly in the place I need to be.
I was made for you and you for me.
Yeah...it's cliche, but, hey, at least the phrase is free.
Girl, I need you here all the time.
I always have since the day you became mine.
With you I have no fears. You ease my mind.
And every time I think of you, you send shivers down my spine.
I'm in love.
My shift has ended and I'm at home.
I've ascended and my mind is free to roam.
I've no direction. Pick up my phone
and call you up 'cause I'm so tired of bein' alone.
Please come home.

Po prostu biegnę dalej(Epitafium dla miłości) / I just keep running(Epitaph for love)

Do not make the children pay again — a call to the leaders of Israel and Palestine. The war is over. The weapons are silent. But peace is not silence. Peace is a choice, every day again. We call upon you — leaders of both peoples — to follow the handshake of the children. They have no agenda, no grudges, no past that paralyzes them. They play. They laugh. They build something new together. Let their play become your policy. Let their joy be your strategy. For every bomb that falls, falls on a future. Every bullet that flies strikes a story that was yet to be written. You were not chosen to repeat. You were called to break through. The world is watching, but more importantly: the children are looking up. At you. At what you do with this chance. Do not let peace be a pause between two tragedies. Let it be a beginning. A beginning of cooperation, of reconstruction, of shared hope. No wall is stronger than a child who laughs. No border is sacred if it separates what want to grow together. We do not demand perfection. We demand courage. The courage to choose life, to choose dialogue, to choose a future where the names of children are no longer on memorial stones, but in schoolbooks, in works of art, in dreams. Peace has begun. Let it endure.

Emotions Runnin

The piano is not just an instrument; it is a storyteller. My lifelong companion. Each piece holds the memory of a moment in time, of a period in life. Here, I share my personal journey—one miniature, one experiment, one story at a time.

I’m Konrad Spittelberg, 52 years old. Though I’ve always called Vienna my home, I have pursued various interests, building an interdisciplinary background that spans education in Latin and Greek, studies of Mathematics, Physics and Economics and a carreer in Consulting and Risk Management. Sometimes, you might also find me immersed in games of Go, Chess or D&D. 

But only when I’m not making music. Of course. Still then, all of my interests have shaped the way I think — and, in turn, the way I compose.

The instrument of my life is the piano. I play it since the age of six, the first 16 in music school with my dedicated teacher Margarete Gerlach (and also thanks to the city of Vienna to the incredible publicly funded music schools!). My piano playing saw multiyear interruptions due to travel and workload. But in recent years I’ve found the time to pursue my passion again—with renewed joy. I devote many of my evenings to developing, refining and rehearsing my piano miniatures. 

I inhale music wherever I find it. In the echoes of Renaissance motets or contemporary cluster music with my local choir, which I joined 30 years ago. In music running in the background of a fashion store which I Shazaam for later enjoyment. Or live concerts - there are so many gifted artists in the world! 

My music is a dialogue between tradition and exploration. Rooted in classical and romantic traditions, it ventures into jazz, rock, and pop.  I love to experiment—playing with unexpected tonalities, syncopated rhythms, and dynamic contrasts. My compositions often evolve through shifts in tension, rhythmic complexity, and harmonic modulations, sometimes venturing across the circle of fifths. I’m also diving deeper into the art of mastering, an area where I still have much to explore.

If my music speaks to you, I’d love for you to follow my journey. Follow along, share your thoughts—whether in appreciation or in challenge. Music, after all, is meant to be a conversation—and I’d love to hear your voice in it.
Enjoy your time with my music!
