This has a great feel of urgency and panic  (and a killer left hand)  !!!

wow!!! magnifique interprétation!!! bravo le pianiste!!!

magnifique beakdown!!! super e passage! et quelle virtuosité!

et le coda est parfait : bravo l'artiste!

Brilliant playing and great catchy melody !

🔥🔥Love it… nicely played 🔥🔥

I love the whole concept of this piece. From the energetic, comedic and wonderfully played music to the creative title and the cover art that makes me wanna scratch myself :-D

Bluesy, jazzy, and idiosynchratic, kind of like a latter-day Mose Allison.

I like it, it sounds like the music played in silent films.

Yearning. The pain when you long for something and yet can't get it. When periods of depression and self-immersion are interrupted by outbursts of hearfelt desire and longing, only to collapse into themselves again. And yet, excruciating as this bittersweet state of mind is, the heart nevertheless seems to also derive pleasure from it.

Compositionwise: 
The track is of the form Intro (@0:00) - Main1 (@0:33) - Main2 (@1:29) - Diversion (@2:19) - Main3(@2:53) - Outro (@3:17)
Overall, the track lives from its sequence of low-energy parts and muffled outbursts. Over time, the track increases in intensity, in two ways: First, its speed increases from the Intro in the Mid 60s to the Low 70s lateron. Moreoever, the melodical intensity of the variations gets increasingly dense (see below) 

The track starts with a low-paced introspect Intro where the left melody line goes up and the right hand down. This contraction in the used space of tones resembles the seclusion of the proponent of our story. The desparation is underlined by sudden crescendos and abrupt falling back into pian(issim)o. This effect is held up throughout the remainder of the track. The left hand in the Intro follows a low-paced half note beat. The right hand first introduces the lead theme that is later varied in the parts (M, M', M'') but then modulates in a unique way that is not repeated throughout the track again.
@ 0:33, the Intro is over and the first of the main parts, Main1, starts. The left hand increases its intensity from here on throughout the track by switching to quarters instead of halfs. The lead theme is modulated with more energy (and will be ever more intense in the later variations of Main). After that, the track goes @0:57 into a series of outbursts and resignations. This series is repeated in Main2 @1:57 in more intensity and a chord inversion higher.
The Diversion is characterised by chord inversions that gently fall down, just like rain that pours down that window that our protagonist stares through. And then reaches the biggest outburst of the whole track.
Finally, after Main3, which includes the most intense version of the lead theme and harmonically altered variation, the piece finishes with a questioning yet pieceful end.

In mastering the piece, after MIDI editing, one of the challenges was to find the right balance between the plaintive metallic overtone-rich outbursts versus a rich and full sound for the resignative parts. I chose the Pianoteq Warm Peterov Mistral (with some minor tweaks) as the piano. On this, I used three basic Cubase-inate effects: (1) some light-touch EQ (a scaled-downversion of Basic Piano), (2) compression (Ratio of 1.8) and (3) Reverb (the Cubase-equivalent of the Goldener Musikvereinssaal in Vienna of course :-)). The mix has been balanced at -1db to allow enough headroom for the streaming services' normalization magic to happen ;-).

One by One

Have you ever imagined how medieval knights could scratch themselves? With all the bugs around, chances were high that some of them would climb into your armor and bite. But how could they relieve yourself with that blasted armor between you and the itching spot?
Well, this piano track gets as close to the musical equivalent of this feeling as possible. 😁

Compositionwise: (for scores pls see https://youtu.be/2Xs3WsgG6UI) 
The left hand follows alternatingly a leaping base line (as e.g., in the beginning), and a chromatic blues-like pattern. The character of the piece is mostly shaped by the alternating use of staccatos, portatoes and legatoes in the right hand and characterized also by some scattered syncopes

The Enchanted Lake

The Pièces froides are two sets of piano pieces composed in March 1897 by Erik Satie. Unpublished until 1912 when Ravel played them publicly, they marked Satie's break from the mystical-religious music of his Rosicrucian and Gymnopodies period (1891–95), and were a harbinger of his humoristic piano suites of the 1910s. 

The title Pièces froides, translated as Cold Rooms or Cold Cuts, is a punning allusion to the dire poverty Satie experienced during his last years living in Montmartre. In July 1896, he had been forced to move into an unheated ground floor closet (he called it a "cupboard”. The space was so small that Satie's camp bed all but blocked the door shut, and on frigid nights he kept warm by sleeping fully dressed with the rest of his clothing piled on top of him.

This the second of the two cold pieces: Danses de travers (Crooked Dances)
1. En y regardant à deux fois (Give it a good look)
2. Passer (Go on)
3. Encore (Again)

Here i've arranged the original solo piano for 2 classical guitars, 12-string, celeste, woodwinds & strings.

Dear Reader, dear Listener! I'm glad that you found my channel.

Spotify and Youtube are at https:\\konrad-spittelberg.carrd.co

Stemming from Vienna, I feature here my compositions which I pursue after my daytime job. Though this is not my main job, I devote a lot of effort and practice into crafting, refining and rehearsing my pieces.

My musical journey started when I was 6 year old and subscribed to piano lessons in the public music school of Vienna (thanks to the city of Vienna for funding the beginnings of my passion; Yes, I am a big supporter of publicly funded education!). I finished my piano education (mostly centered around classic and romantic music) at the age of 22 and have since pursued my passion of playing and composing. I had year-long interruptions due to my work leading me astray from home; still I recorded also in these times fragments, ideas and tunes onto my voice recorder – must have been a strange sight when I was humming and whistling on the airports. 
Besides my piano pursuit, I have been part of a local quire for the past 30 years. We have been covering a huge repertoire from Rennaissance up to 20th century contemporary music which gave me a more comprehensive view of different styles and genres. 
My music is a fusion of different styles, stemming from my musical education and more modern, contemporary elements from Jazz, Rock or Pop. I constantly aim to explore the limits and extend the boundaries of my composing style in the different pieces. Like: 
Exploring various scales and tonalities. Building the tension curve of the overall piece by switching between soothing and rhythmic parts. Experimenting with syncopes and polyrhythmics. Modulating along but also across the circle of fifth. Mastering of the track.

If you like what you are hearing, I would be delighted if you follow my channel; if you have feedback (positive and in particular also constructive suggestions for further improvement), I would very much appreciate it in the comments or if you leave me a private message.
Enjoy your time with my music!
