geez, all these comments about the quality. it sounds like a keyboard. personally, I would rather a real piano recorded on a freaking $50 mic better. You can't beat natural. Nice playing though.
I find it hard to believe this was made by an amateur. This was clearly done by a professional. So you, good Sir, should start a career within music! Outstanding work! How many years have you been playing?
@enest94 Now it's 11 years. I started pretty late. Therefore, I am pretty sure a career would be a bad idea :>
Besides, as I got older, I got more and more nervous when performing. I hardly believe this would change. I don't like to perform in front of an audience anymore. Just playing, practicing, and sometimes recording. That's it. But thank you very much!
amateurs won't get much money for their boxing. but some of them could beat the hell out of the professionals. and you sir are one of these rare people. just great and will listen again now. thank you for a great version of one the best nocturnes
you really should let the piece sound like it's slowy dying down when it modulates to e major...i do this by playing it a little slower and softer than then rest of the piece and then slow it down even more as it goes on
Wow, really beautiful. I think with Chopin the mood is sometimes ambiguous, or apt to change suddenly, which makes it as much a journey as anything else. You have to stay in the moment as best you can. Keep up the wonderful playing.
This is beautiful! I havn't really heard many of the amateur efforts of Chopin on Youtube, but judging by this I have been missing out. By the way, what did you use to record this? The quality is really nice... when I have tried I have been unable to get anything anywhere near tolerable.
@RH98 Hi, thanks! I do consider myself an amateur, though my teacher thinks otherwise, lol. I recorded this piece on a Yamaha Stage Piano, so the sound is produced digitally.
@FreakinTiger Sorry. Amateur is a loaded term. I meant it in its plainest sense - e.g. not recorded professionally. Does your teacher have ambitions for you? A nice dilema to be in, that is for sure. I'm not sure I could go through the pain of being a pro, even if I was good enough.
@RH98 My teacher is amazed at me wanting to play Godowsky studies. I've already played some, but they're still pretty difficult to play. Now I'm practicing new studies and the teacher wants me to at least show my "skills" to a professor. She doesn't tell me to study, but to "get attention". Well, I know that there are child prodigies playing better than me, so there's that. I started learning the piano pretty late. However, I will never stop playing for myself. I love Godowsky's renditions :)
@FreakinTiger You've said you started "pretty late", what does it exactly mean? You see, I loved to listen to your playing. As you said - never stop playing. It should always be for ourselves :] Good luck!!!
@NoxAeterna6 I started when I was about 9-10 years old. Most children start with 4-5 years, but mostly because their parents want to. In my case it was purely my decision.
this piece depicts something in the innermost soul of each of us .. any humanbeing must fall in love with this piece because it talks about a secret inside all of us..
Good job. If one likes some certain piece like this, you listen at the details when someone plays it. And...im totaly fine with your interpretation! Thanks.
Wow, beautiful performance and sound quality as well! Is that a digital piano with a VST or something? Those VSTs can sound so so real but I never could figure out how to work them.
I've always been fascinated by this less known Nocturne by Chopin. It's seemingly simple, but the trills are actually very hard for me. I tend to play it at a much slower tempo, and so I'm impressed and stimulated by your skillful rendering of it at such a fast tempo. I like Fujiko Heming's interpretation, if you'd care to listen to that.
@parapluiesdechebourg Thank you. I don't consider my tempo fast, but it's actually not slow either. The worst part for me is the run at 2:18. In the newer version, it is nearly perfectly executed, since I slowed down a bit :)
Maybe it is better to play this piece a tad slower.
@FreakinTiger i dont think theres any way of playing it.. ive seen people playing both quick and slow and depending on the expression it can be quite beautiful.. i think you play it amazingly though! Much better than most videos ive seen actually.. just wish it was a video instead of a picture :P Those are the parts that always get me to.. at 2.18 and 2.05 .. but yeah.. amazingly done!
@FreakinTiger Don't play it any slower. Perfect speed here. Watch out for the great ones who learn a Great Composer's song and act as though it's their own composition while perverting it with their interpretation; they speed up then slow down while playing the song and so on and basically desecrate it with their over-treatment.
@FreakinTiger Well, if this is you playing, my goodness I'm honored to have the pleasure of listening to you. You seem to have that Chopinesque quality I don't seem to hear very often. Awesome! I like how Chopin put an unrequited theme into this song, as heard at ~1:47-1:53, and answered it at the end. What a beautiful nocturne. Bravo!
@FreakinTiger i just dont agree with how the emphasis is placed in general, and there are a few points which i think arent supposed to sound expressed the way they do like at 0:48 etc.
@FreakinTiger i just dont agree with how the emphasis is placed in general, and there are a few points which i think arent supposed to sound expressed the way they do like at 0:48 etc.
@FreakinTiger youtube search: Richter plays Chopin: Nocturne no. 19, Op 72 no. 1 and if u are really musical u will tell what i mean. there is a general difference. and to a musician like me it can make a huge difference.
@hbmp88 I won't argue about specific interpretations. If something doesn't seem consistent, I am ready to listen. I don't try to be like other pianists. But thanks anyway :)
@hbmp88 what you are talking about, now thats just alot of bullshit. Music come's from the heart, not a fucking paper. get a heart, or even maybe a brain to listen to what your really saying. i can tell you: those note's or WHAT EVER you are talking about, now thats just a fucking proof for some stupid person which really NEED this proof too accept you as a musican. this guy really put his soul into it (i prefume). dissociate music with paper work, please.
@visod0055 u are beeing very general with how ur responding to me. im not talking about studying the notes and playing robaotically. u have me all wrong. im talking about how its meant to be expressed. and that is totally different. a person can express a phrase right and play it with soul. maybe if u read some of my comments and werent so rude i would take u as an educated person.
Can't win with antagonists like hbmp88. You can go onto his recordings and dissect them in the exact same way (even more so in fact), the only difference is we probably aren't so insecure as to do something like that.
whether or not it is you or not, its one of my fav interpretations. one small suggestion: the f sharp in between the 23 and 24 second mark is not the melody, and it sounded as if u treated it as the melody. The tied b is where the melody lies.
@davel112 I understand. But in the moment, I felt like it, you know? I don't really "plan" how to play every single note. It's "me", however, playing this piece. And I am grateful you like my interpretation. Thanks!
awesome awesome, but maybe a bit too fast? that's my opinion of course. i feel this piece as kind of suffering, that's why i play it slower (xept the major parts are abit faster), but yeah. awesome again =D
yes i would as well like to see a live performance from such a Gifted Pianist such as yourself... im sure we dont mind the sound quality for one piece> i like the picture youve selected :) elegantly peaceful
@Keidus603 - It really could be him because I hear slight mistakes with the 3rds once not being hit precise the same time. Besides, you don't really know him so you have no idea how good he is. He should show himself playing as proof that it's him, but if he's anything like me, he's camera shy. I tried making videos and all I did was start over. But when I'm playing without a cam, I play much better. I still suck, but I suck more in front of a cam. lol
curious, you claim it's you playing? yet you never show yourself playing and it sounds a lot like the recording. You may just be that good but how about making a video where we see you play
@FreakinTiger - Exactly. People are complimenting you while insulting you. lol The insult? You can't play that well. The compliment? That is so beautiful. lolz
@gumdrops27 I practiced this piece for a competition. It did take about a year, but only because it needed to be "perfect". It took about 3 months to learn the technique and the music. But it will depend on your skill level and understanding of music.
@gumdrops27 It took me about 2 months to learn the music, secure everything, and be able to play it beginning to end reasonably. Im going on about 6 months now with this maturing in my repertoire and Im just now feeling that its getting close to "perfection".
@FreakinTiger I think digital pianos just might sound better (on youtube) than upright/grand pianos [the sound registers better with the camcorder/camera?)
@angelbbella Well, this performance was recorded from my stage piano. It has samples from a Yamaha grand piano. I don't record with any camcorder, just with digital audio input/output. My new performances are "converted" to better piano samples, though I leave my performance intact.
First try? It's beautiful; very emotional and excellent dynamics. You balance the melody and the harmony wonderfully, and it runs very naturally; it doesn't feel too timed or rigid. Amazingly played!
Beautifully done. I did this last year and absolutely fell in love with it. only one thing, and I'm sure you've fixed this by now, but in meas. 8, the C sharp is tied. other than that, I wouldn't have guessed that this was your first try, unless I read that. Bravo!
Really beautiful. I like your interpretation. Gorgeous runs. I like all your guts and emotion. It's better than prettified perfection. Know what I mean? Sounds more like improvisation-which I think is best of all.
@surrealismo0muerte I wouldn't have wanted to live in the age of Romanticism (1815-1848) since women couldn't vote, own property, etc. I like living today and LISTENING to all this beautiful music. Back in those days I would have been poor and never been able to go to a Royal concert to hear this music. This was written to entertain the rich.
I love the interpretation here. A lot of emotion! There are so many players on Youtube that just go through the motions... This is what music is about- what it says to your soul...
Beautiful dynamic control , and very nice job on the technical aspects of the piece - the runs were beautiful.
I think an extension of the comments about parts being to fast may relate a bit more to the melody line feeling a bit rushed or frenzied, which isn't always a function of tempo. It's one of those things where when you play it, you want it to feel like you're lingering, even though you are keeping tempo. It's sort of a relaxed nightfall kind of feel. Once again - great job!
I like how you accelrate the right hand at begining of frases and tyhen slow again at the end of it, at least it changes.... Another way to play it. Great job.
In my opinion, it's not because it's a nocturne that you have to play it too slow or without exagerations. He wrote lots of nocturnes with strong parts, like the Op. 48, No. 1. !!
You said you've been playing for 11 years, at what age if I may ask?

What kind of piano do you play on?. It has a very good sound.
My guess goes to.. Steinway &sons
Am I right??

@Naturfotografen Well, it's a digital piano, a Yamaha. So it's not Steinway. I personally find Steinway much warmer than Yamaha.

@FreakinTiger I think digital pianos just might sound better (on youtube) than upright/grand pianos [the sound registers better with the camcorder/camera?)

@angelbbella Well, this performance was recorded from my stage piano. It has samples from a Yamaha grand piano. I don't record with any camcorder, just with digital audio input/output. My new performances are "converted" to better piano samples, though I leave my performance intact.

This is such a beautiful, mysterious and emotional piece. Chopin will always be my favourite piano composer.

IS there an MP3 download for this version? Purists would criticize, but it's the most moving interpretation I've found on YouTube... I love it.

First try? It's beautiful; very emotional and excellent dynamics. You balance the melody and the harmony wonderfully, and it runs very naturally; it doesn't feel too timed or rigid. Amazingly played!

Beautifully done. I did this last year and absolutely fell in love with it. only one thing, and I'm sure you've fixed this by now, but in meas. 8, the C sharp is tied. other than that, I wouldn't have guessed that this was your first try, unless I read that. Bravo!

Interesting interpretation! Sounds like it is coming along nicely. Just watch that the emotion isn't 'forced' sometimes. Bravo!

Really beautiful. I like your interpretation. Gorgeous runs. I like all your guts and emotion. It's better than prettified perfection. Know what I mean? Sounds more like improvisation-which I think is best of all.

@surrealismo0muerte I wouldn't have wanted to live in the age of Romanticism (1815-1848) since women couldn't vote, own property, etc. I like living today and LISTENING to all this beautiful music. Back in those days I would have been poor and never been able to go to a Royal concert to hear this music. This was written to entertain the rich.

I love the interpretation here. A lot of emotion! There are so many players on Youtube that just go through the motions... This is what music is about- what it says to your soul...

Beautiful dynamic control , and very nice job on the technical aspects of the piece - the runs were beautiful.
I think an extension of the comments about parts being to fast may relate a bit more to the melody line feeling a bit rushed or frenzied, which isn't always a function of tempo. It's one of those things where when you play it, you want it to feel like you're lingering, even though you are keeping tempo. It's sort of a relaxed nightfall kind of feel. Once again - great job!

i do agree with "hintzpan" though, some parts were a bit too fast, but overall it was still really good.
i used your piano playing as a guide as Im also playing the same song atm and im having trouble with the fast parts around bars 31-37.
thanks =D

Beautiful interpretation of the song! It was a little fast in some parts for a nocturne, but it sounded awesome. Good job!

I'd like to say that I have an unbiased opinion of how anything piano should be played.
That having been said, this rocks!

I like how you accelrate the right hand at begining of frases and tyhen slow again at the end of it, at least it changes.... Another way to play it. Great job.
In my opinion, it's not because it's a nocturne that you have to play it too slow or without exagerations. He wrote lots of nocturnes with strong parts, like the Op. 48, No. 1. !!

Although the musical feeling in this is not great, and neither is the piano, the baseline has a moving baseline.

I am playing this song at the moment, just a lot slower, emphasizing the left hand, playing it unusually but just as pretty. Good job!!!
