Lydia, I have been watching and listening to your videos and must say that you play wonderfully: you have very good technique and play with sensibility. Congratulations! I have also played some nocturnes you can watch them in my you tube channel.
I've been learning this. I find it fairly easy... except for 0:12 - 0:20!!!!!! God! Why did that one part have to be so difficult to play with 2 hands? How lond did it take you to get that part?
excellent job, in classic music if the performer doesnt have the RIGHT feeling for the piece s/he annoys me much, and i tend to stop listening. over feeling by playing so slow or emotionless playing is bad as well, i think u did a very good job, i enjoyed the piece because of your performance over a number of professional performers :)
This is my favorite piano piece. It is wonderful to hear someone play it with feeling. There are a hundred million pianists out there, but you are an artist. Thank you for bringing this song to life!
Thanks for sharing your version of my favourite Nocturne. I have listened to this a lot over the last few months as I have been learning the piece myself. I have just uploaded my version. I'm self taught so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Great video! :) Well done. I was just wondering about your practice methods, because i am learning this piece at the moment, i have been playing piano for about 3 and a half years and do the "mindlessly repeating" technique and it takes me quite a long time to learn pieces :( Could you give me some tips please? :D Thankyou, and keep up the good work!
stunning, amazing, marvellous,....I don't know my words cannnot reach what I'm feeling, I just love Chopin and I think everyone who plays his works is admirable. Really, good job you did there. It was worth practising about months.
Che dire se ha un corpo esuberante e un abbigliamento moderno ciò non vuol dire che voglia volontariamente offendere Chopin...in fondo a Chopin non sarebbe forse dispiaciuto dare una sbirciatina...anche lui è stato un uomo oltre che un genio del pianoforte.
I was this song in episode of Bones (which I LOVE) and then I fell in love with this piece too of course. I've been playing the piano for my whole life but only have 6 years of music school which was quite a while ago now.So I started to learn this on my own al tho it is obvious it is hard.... When you play it it looks so easy, so smooth and simple, you are really good at it, I hope to play it at least half this good. I've been stuck with the first page which I think is the hardest (and last one
When will people understand its not a shame to take a lot time to be able to play this song or any other piece. Being able to play a song in a short period of time doesn´t mean you have mastered it, but take your time to put your passion on the pieces you play is what makes the difference betwen a good pianist and a amazing pianist.
So be pround to answer YES!!! when someone asks you if you took a lot of time to execute perfectly a song.
Congratulations! Beautifully flowing interpretation. I'm interested by your comment that repetition doesn't do much and the practice has to be about varied and creative practice. Could you expand on this? What kind of creative practice did you find helpful for learning this piece?
certo ... che suonare Chopin col culo che le esce dai jeans... è proprio un contrasto arte e modernismo che fa quasi rabbrividire! Chopin si rivolterebbe nella tomba!
Girl, I know the interpretation is not easy but you played it too flatly. Temperament, this is what you need to add. Listen to the Vadim Chaimovich interpretation for example and notice the little differences that add weight to that piece. However, I have appreciated your efforts and passion.
I don't think you could learn this, really, you have to FEEL the tempo and the little ritardos on this in your soul. You're born to play this piece or you're not, and this is a good example of somebody who can manage it.
Very emotional and heartbreaking, the way you play it. Really beautiful. This piece is tough. Nocturne Op. 9 No. 2 is in all my compilation books and "easier" and more popular than Op. 9 No. 1. I dunno why because this one is just as wonderful. Chopin is truly a genius.
Very cool. How long did it take you to learn this to where you could play it that well? I just started this and it's my first Chopin piece and probably the hardest thing I've tried so far. Again nice job.
This was recorded about a year and a half ago! It took me a few months - alongside doing lots of other pieces and performances.. so would probably be less, with less things to do. It's more about the way you practice though, i've realised-repetition doesn't do much, it's gotta be about varied and creative practice, which tackles the technical and musical difficulties, without mindlessly repeating, Easy to type, harder to do though! Good luck :D
@rhythmatics this is my best advice. When you play, don't just read music, think of the actual structure of the piece. e.g. if it's in Bbm, think of all the chords that relate that key. You have to recognize the chords, not just read the piece. This will help you, and learn the piece faster.
Hmmm what's the word for the better that fantastic.... brilliant.... no that dosn't do it justice..... unbelievable..... meh it's better than that..... im going to go with..... :-o :-o :-o WOW how do you do that!!!!!!!? ...... that also does not do it justice 5/5 keep going - coz thats fantastically brilliantly unbelievably good xx
Ah, finally! I just spent an hour searching for even an acceptable version of this piece on youtube but everything is just junky, and then I stumble across this wonderful adaptation! Very well done! I will use your playing as my guideline!
This was a year ago, hoping to put up more recordings soon (when I get time to film), this comment made my day, thank you ever so much. best wishes :)
Is this particular Nocturne at concert level difficulty? I guess it is not for someone who has been playing for only 5 years. That's me. I already got stuck in the 3rd bar on the first row.....:(
I'd say in terms of technical things like scales and stuff it's not too, too hard. But, to get a nice sound-technically that's harder. The run in the 3rd bar is hard though! Working out a good fingering, and slow,creative practice (in rhythms, in accents,slow-fast etc) always helps.
This was really helpful advice. Those runs are daunting! And the fingering in my copy is insane. It's nice to be given permission to fiddle with the fingering!
I've been taught I should experiment with fingering (even fingering I'm not familiar with) and find what feels most comfortable --remember this doesn't mean unfamiliar. For the fiddly bit in bar three I used 2, 3, 4, 1, 4, 3, 2, 3, 5, 4, 2 (i think, will have to double check!)
it helps to break the third measure into broken chords, and memorize each one. that way you can slowly learn that bar and memorize it while playing the right notes.
Thanks for your suggestion. Finally I managed to get through it a week ago, but now I am stuck in the second movement (begins 1:22 onwards). The rhythms are difficult. I have simply learned piano from a teacher for 5 years. All these years I have been playing on my own without help and guidance.
Hi . This is a voice from the past ( GCH)This is great . One of my favourite pieces of music . Calms me down after a long day at work . Wishing you all the best .
I've been playing the piano for 12 years, but i recorded this almost a year ago, so i guess it was 11 years. It doesn't matter how long you have been playing though, depends on how much you practice and how good your teacher is (technique is important!)
ha sido un gusto oir esta interpretacion magnifica de este Nocturno de Chopin te felicito sabes muy bien donde quieres llegar...¡¡¡¡¡ confio que llegaras donde pretendes....cariños
I love your interpretation of this beautiful nocturne. Your interpretation is a lot like mine. :) I love your ritardando the 2nd line into the B section, and I love the way you treat the page before the return to the A section. I look forward to seeing more of your performances.
great job on this one! :D I´ve just started studying this for this term and was looking for different interpretations and found yours :) keep it up! Martín
very well done! this is my favorite chopin piece! the trouble with me in this piece is that i cant get the 11:3 running passages in the early pages of the piece! any suggestions on how i can work on that? anyways, really great expression.
in your video it was the part between 0:13-0:20 and it was like repeated in 4:30-4:45. i can't seem to coordinate my left hand and my right hand. my l.h gets left out when my r.h does the chromatic-like part. thanks in advance :) you're really amazing
i will never be able to understand hw someone could have created music like this... its so beautiful... all i ever hum sounds really bad haha nice vid
This is a great piece. Nice to hear you playing it with such expression. The wonderful thing about Chopin and about this piece in particular is its depth. You can continue playing it for the rest of your life and still find new and interesting things about it. And it's so open to personal interpretation.
Lovely. Been working on this piece and its inspirational to see you play it so well. Camera angle could be better tho, a little unflattering as is. Would like to see more of your left hand work, which seems so smooth.
Thank you! When I played it, my teacher told me to rotate my left arm.. as in a circular movement while you play it... over (when you go up) back under (when you go down the keys)... sorry about my terrible explanation.
Hello, it's one of my favorite songs of chopin, its so beautiful.. tkz for sharing with us, the way you play this piece touched my soul... keep playing and improving!
you played perfect my perfect Nocturne Op 9 No.1 and 2 i wish i can do it but i cant play piano 'cose it to dificult i can hardley do Fur Elise... Thank You!! :)
Just a couple of criticisms. Overall, your playing is quite good. The pickup to the full first measure -- pick your tempo and stay with it. The first partial measure is not at the same tempo as the rest. I do suggest, just a touch faster, the whole piece will flow much better. The sotto voce section, just a little more sotto voce. The appasionatto sections, don't lose the building of the mood to the pinnacle. I'd like to hear it again after you read these comments.
I agree in the point that it sounds better a bit faster but that is the descition of the pianist how he (she) interprets it.
"Pick your tempo and stay with it"
Chopin is a romantic composer and I think it sounds way better if you play slower in the end of the melodie bows and get to your normal tempo after, so I don't agree with this comment...
I can play this piece better now that what I used to. I'm working on re-recording all my pieces, plus many more that are not uploaded yet.
Wish I could record from a piano. Sounds good!

Just a couple of criticisms. Overall, your playing is quite good. The pickup to the full first measure -- pick your tempo and stay with it. The first partial measure is not at the same tempo as the rest. I do suggest, just a touch faster, the whole piece will flow much better. The sotto voce section, just a little more sotto voce. The appasionatto sections, don't lose the building of the mood to the pinnacle. I'd like to hear it again after you read these comments.

I agree in the point that it sounds better a bit faster but that is the descition of the pianist how he (she) interprets it.
"Pick your tempo and stay with it"
Chopin is a romantic composer and I think it sounds way better if you play slower in the end of the melodie bows and get to your normal tempo after, so I don't agree with this comment...

Seriously though, I really agree with the feel you have chosen for this piece. Enchanting, to say the least.

Nice! This piece sounds like it belongs in the movie The Painted Veil (if you've seen it) as it reminds me of the score by Alexandre Desplat.
