This is a re-upload, as I updated the piece since it was last posted.

I'm happy to share yet another original, solo piano composition. This piece was a Semi-Finalist for the 'NYC Contemporary Music Symposium 2023', whose site I linked to below.

Additionally, I do hope to post the performance video soon! Thanks for listening

Sonata No. 1 (Nightfall)

As the holidays approach, I composed this short album dedicated to winter.

This is a solo, neo-classical piano album with a variety of compositional styles ranging from minimalist/ambient to traditional classical. The final piece of the album, 'Winter Rain', took influence from Frédéric Chopin's Prelude no. 15 in D major - 'Raindrop Prelude'.

I wanted these pieces to reflect the warm feelings associated with winter, despite it being the coldest of seasons.

I hope you enjoy, and thanks for listening.

Preston Peak (b. 1998) is passionate about studying music’s origins, innovations, cultural deviations and similarities, and ultimately making music that he loves. Originally attaining a bachelors of science in biomedical engineering at Texas A&M university, Preston’s passions for composition allowed him to begin composing as a hobby for solo piano and smaller chamber ensembles for his friends to perform. To be a composer is to constantly be learning, and in composing for various ensembles and lesser known instruments/styles, Preston is still piecing together his style which takes inspiration from the story-telling sounds of the Romantic Era.


Preston is early in his career, and has yet to have a piece premiered. However, along his journey, he found himself composing for video games, and this medium is a wonderful realm where diversity of genre, instrumentation, culture, and ideas is encouraged. His most recent project includes an original soundtrack for a game which incorporates latin-jazz, orchestral, and electronic elements to provide subtle ambience. These experiences have shaped his compositional style into what it is today.


Preston is still early in his journey, but continues to study music in Houston, Texas, where he is based with his wonderful fiancé, Hailey.
