Patrik Pietschmann - Immaterial (Piano Version)
Composed by Patrik Pietschmann

In my circle of friends and family, people who follow my channel regularly often ask me when the next video is finally coming. And I can't blame them for asking, because I sometimes wonder myself how quickly time flies. One thing I experience every day is that a lot of things I set out to do take about twice or three times as long as planned. Especially when I have completed a longer and more complex video (like this one), I promise myself that I will only make shorter and less complicated videos from now on. But by the video after next, I've somehow forgotten all about it. In any case, I hope to find a way to shorten the intervals between my video uploads in future without compromising on quality. However, my priority is to continue to develop both as a musician and as a person, to grow with new challenges and to learn new skills. I would like to take the necessary time to do this.

I also want to free myself from the external pressure to satisfy the YouTube algorithm in the long term or to reach a certain number of views or subscribers. That's not the reason why I chose to be a musician. I don't think anyone learns a musical instrument with the aim of becoming rich and super successful. And if they do, it won't work. What fulfills me most about making music is the "flow" experience of creating an arrangement or composition and practicing the piano. These are the moments when I am so absorbed in the music that I forget about time and worries. I can also express my inner feelings through music and share them with the world. That's what fulfills me when I make music and drives me to keep going. Above all, it's the immaterial experiences that make me really happy.

We are currently living in a very exciting, but also very fast-moving time that is characterized by consumption and external success. For many people, the possession of material things and status symbols as well as external recognition are very important. We learn at school that we have to work hard to get good grades so that we can earn a lot of money later on, which we can use to afford expensive material things and vacations. As a result, the planet we live on continues to be exploited and will eventually become uninhabitable for future generations. It also means that once we seem to have achieved everything that society demands of us, we suddenly feel empty inside. Instead of being guided by external rewards, we should act out of inner drive and joy. Less materialism, more idealism. Spend more time on immaterial things, such as friendship, love, self-realization, lifelong learning and of course: music.

I feel so bad for Nepo and Fabi. That clip of them, “I’m very very sorry” - “my fault” was so heartbreaking. I hope one day both of them are world champions

[AnirudhAjith]

"I'm very sorry."
"My fault."
😢💔

[brunobeilkematos]

Patrik, I think this is your best composition so far, you have evolved so much and I’m glad I could watch that! Never stop creating new things

[thesnackbandit]

Chess is brutal. On one hand I'm beyond delighted for Gukesh. But there's a feeling hollowness and tragedy for the titans that are Nepomniachtchi and Caruana. Especially Ian who was undefeated throughout the event.

This wonderful piece speaks to just that. It is magnificent. Whatever happens with Ian and Fabiano in their careers, they will both go down as legends of the game and should be very proud of themselves.

[prashantshinde]

Ian has my respect . First of all for his performance and then sharing this masterpiece

[joshuanarrazola]

what an amazing piece, I came here because of Nepo, and now I added this composition to my playlist, incredible.

[aviberezovskiy]

Ian and Fabi you are legends of the game, I feel for you 💔

[Zyeel_.]

I consider myself a patient person, but I was really counting the days for this new composition and it was definitely worth the wait

[amanshah]

this is a song of desire that falls apart, a tragedy that one joyously remembers and feels nostalgic about. i see why nepo would tweet this piece. beautiful.

[EthanHaluzaDelay]

Take all the time you need on your amazing compositions, arrangements, and covers. They truly show your passion and skill!

[AlphaMohid]

Beautiful composition Patrik. Never fail to amaze us.♥️

[AlbertNevado]

7 minutes of an absolutely mindblowing composition that changes just enough to avoid the repetition and the monotony, but keeps the same identity through all the song to keep you in it, making you to dive deep in its melody. Love it from the first to the last note. Congratulations!

[lythienthong]

"I'm really sorry"

"My fault"

[tiwariabhinay]

This is sport, kisi k liye happy, kisike liye sad

[BennyErnst]

Hallo Patrik,
 
ich bin ein riesiger Fan von dir und deiner Musik. Ich spiele schon lange Klavier und seitdem ich dich kenne, bist du mein Vorbild. Ich liebe deine Lieder. Jedes einzelne ist fantastisch und ich hoffe, dass du noch weitere, sehr gute Lieder komponierst. Ich wünsche dir, dass Hollywood deine Fähigkeiten irgendwann entdeckt.
Übrigens ist dieses Lied, bis jetzt, mein absoluter Favorit.
Ich liebe es.
Liebe Grüsse

[miguelkerkhoffgoulart]

This, from now on, will be one of the musics that translates the most the feeling of chess!

[iamharrypottah]

What Patrik said in the description is truly what sets him apart from other piano youtubers, he doesn't do it for money and success and to satisfy the yotube algorithm.

[nitowl]

This is beautiful! I listen to this on repeat in my playlist all the time!

[AdrianMark]

"Instead of being guided by external rewards, we should act out of inner drive and joy." - I'm really glad I took the time to read the description. Take all the time you need, to keep making such wonderful, inspiring music Patrik. I for one, will always eagerly await your next song, whenever that may be. Thanks for making this.

[Konsti_]

Die Musik ist so wunderbar, dass mir läuft es kalt den Rücken runter 🥺
