This is one of the best performances of this song I've heard and considering this is my single favorite piece of classical music of all time, that's saying something. The only critique I could offer is it feels just a little rushed in pace around 2:45-3:00 as it picks up there.... Beyond that it's seriously one of the best classical performances I've heard period. Beautifully done.
I imagine that the way you play this Nocturne must have been how the feminist writer, George Sand (lying under Chopin's piano and smoking a cigar as Chopin played) heard this piece.
My piano teacher has always taught me to play with "expression", its not just about the correct notes and timing, its about how you play the music. Your interpretation I guess... always play with emotion. Happy, or sad, its like a story. starting at about 1:35 its like this is the sad part, then at around 1:48 it starts to get happy again and climax. Wonderful job by the pianist.
Beautiful performance !!! I loved how you played with such deep feeling I am amazed at how people can play living the music with such passion !!! Loved it.
@unionville123 Hey hey now...its not...take it easy...to get all the way through the piece you need to first always have confidence ..never say hard and cant...just have to practice it a lot. so triplets in the left hand through out this piece OK...there is usually only one note on the down beats...so the minor difficulty is putting two in the right hand against three in the left k?....the only next difficult thing is a few small runs.the key is to always play your left hand the same and fitnote
wooooooooooooow .. this is Chopin ! Full with passion, volcano of feelings, melancholy, tenderness , storm and depression and all the time unbelievable thirst for love - to give and get .
This is very well done, a little fast for my taste. Arguing about speed, however is a moot point. I LOVE the sensuality and passion in this piece and Eva does a wonderful job of carrying that through.
This music can be found in the hallmark movie "the secret garden" It's the main theme and i never would have found out if not for youtube. Spectacular music
It doesn't matter how old you are when you learn to play a song like this..its how you play it...just because you can learn notes doesn't mean you can play piano. She played this beautifully with great feeling which is something most younger people don't understand
congratulations, but what does that say really? That you are one of the lucky persons, having the chance to learn piano very early, having support by parents and/or to do so. I hope you are also able to realise the deep human emotions that such music should express, because if not, it's not worth anyting and not more than sofisticated noise (if deep human emotions are not epressed by it, and not only shown/played, but real ones)
this is amazing! I love the feeling you put into the piece! The atmosphere is really intense! I'm learning this piece right now and I want to be just as good as you playing it!! ITS AMAZING!!!!!!! YOUR AMAZING AT PLAYING THIS PEICE!!!!!
itzwicks, you know MORE than ALL the stupid critics who know zero. You can appreciate a beautiful piece of music; they can't. All they do is bitch and moan, bitch and moan. I'm sure they don't even appreciate life. They should just kill themselves and end it all since nothing seems to be pleasing to these career complainers.
No matter how many ways or how many times I hear this song I am mesmerized and placed in a state of total peace! My only regret is that I am just discovering the beauty of classical music!
appleseed, yes, i see now that your comment falls under that moron's pbk360. i guess i had a computer glitch at the time of my remarks and didn't notice. but chill, brother. you know i didn't mean that for you if you were directing your anger at that 7 year old-minded idiot. lol
pbk360, You comment is that of a 7 year old brain, so I believe you're 7. PLUS, your video shows that you believe in ALIENS! ROFLMAO! So one can expect an idiotic comment like this one from a 7 year old retard. You never even saw a piano, you tard. Where are your competition videos? LMAO! It's so true that those with NO talent always mock those who DO. Fucking loser. You'll never amount to anything.
I'm a pianist myself, I have my student learning this piece. While you do play it beautifully, a view pointers would be to make sure you remember it is Andante (walking pace) througout the song, when you get louder you speed up make sure you watch your timing, lastly watch your dynamics. Keep going! You're almost there! Best of luck!
well it is a romantic piece so you can have rubato if you want, you don't have to play it totally rigid the whole way through, I thought the dynamics were just finethey were very song-like and natural and if you are a pianist as you say you are, you should know that this is not a 'song' like you said, but a 'piece'
Nocturne. Look it up. Its wrong. Sorry. Rubato is not intend with a laid back "piece"... to use the title piece the pianist or musician must give it the title piece. The bass clef overpowers the treble too often and the graces notes are sometimes played as thirty second notes. The three against two melody is very tricky and it is not always correct. Too much rubato. Period.
A nocturne is a piece duh! And you can't really lecture me on calling a Nocturne a piece when you're calling it a song. I don't have a clue of what you're talking about when you say ''Rubato is not intend with a laid back ''piece''...'' because it does not make any sense so maybe you could rephrase that to tell me what you mean. OK, yeah, sometimes yhe bass cleff is too loud but those grace notes are on the strong beat so they would be longer than the (comment contd. below)
Eva, you play this nocturne beautifully, with just the right amount of rubato. I am a pianist and piano teacher, so I do know whereof I speak. I have shared your video with some of my students.
not bad. needs more expression cuz its a nocturne and the left needs to be softer so the right hand can express the melody more and needs more pedal to make it mellower and the 3rd's double grace note needs to be fast. Sorry if you think i'm dissing you but i'm just giving u a few tips to make it better.
my piano teacher told me to play the left hand in this piece only *slightly* softer than the right hand because it has a lot of important melodies in it actually.
Meravigliosa! Anche se mi sembra di avvertire qualche piccolo errore nella sua esecuzione. C'è molto sentimento e coinvolgimeno nel suonare questa grande opera,che ci porta in uno spazio di assoluto incanto e tristezza. Chopin, sei stato meraviglioso. E' come se ti avessi conosciuto. I tuoi pezzi sono capaci di far ritrovare chiunque. Tu sei stato l'epressione dell'"Io" umano, della dolcezza, delicatezza, del dramma di noi tutti. Grazie per i tuoi capolavori!

The Opus number on Nocturne in E minor is misleading. This was actually written in 1827, before his other Nocturnes, and was published posthumously in 1855, against Chopin's wishes. It was assigned Opus 72 No. 1. Opus 72, No. 2 was assigned to the Funeral March in C Major, also published posthumously.
Nice form. I would suggest to pay more attention to dynamics. You did great, but I think it would have been masterful if you would have started very lightly at the beginning as indicated and really brought out page three with the runs. Also, try not to fluctuate the tempo as much. It should be flowing not rocking back and forth with ritards and accelerandos. nice playing though. and beautiful piano
dès que je l'ai entendu, j'ai adoré ton interprétation chère Eva qui m'a donné envie de l'apprendre. Malheureusement je l'apprends seul, j'aurais apprécié tes conseils. merci qd même.
who knows where I can get free sheet music for this piece? I played it a few years ago and now can only find two of the four pages of my old music... i'd like to get the rest without having to buy another copy.
it may be the recording- which isnt great- but there doesn't seem to be much dynamic range or delicacy here. She nearly hits the wrong note at 1:49. Over all, not bad. She seems to be working hard at it.
i prefer to play this song slower than just about anyone else on youtube lol, but this version is by far my favorite as far as gracefulness goes. well done! i can only hope to succeed half as well!
Some people keep nagging about tempo, or even say that "Chopin ment it different". Please... music is art! There are no rules for art, only guidelines.
I couldn't agree with you more! I was only speculating that the tempo was a refreshing change. Personally, I play the song a bit slower but she has really pulled off this speed excellently, making this one of my favorite versions on youtube, thus far. :)
nice interpretation...........but i think the ritardando on measure 9 should be a big deal....making it move into measure 10.........sort of like stretching it.....considerablely.....
Very good rendition, probably the best one on youtube. *applauds*
BUT (just a bit of constructive criticism) I play it a bit slower too. This is one of Chopin's most delicate nocturnes and has the "aspiramente" feel in some places.
To PianoCriticKiller, I'd just like to make a comment that if you notice in the recording it is meant to be played a lot slower. This is a NOCTURNE - a short LYRICAL piece that evokes the qualities of NIGHT.
I'd love to, but if you've noticed in my videos I have no videos.. why? Because I too young to own a video camera and I have no idea how to upload videos (actually even RECORD) on to youtube.
Answer your question? I was simply voicing my opinion. Never said I was an artist of piano, notice the +2 on my comment :)
okay. I have to admit that you have a point. I am no less lazy than you for not taking 5 minutes out of my time to learn how to upload videos. I do appreciate the plus 2 on your comment. you express yourself with elequence. But look. I have taken piano for three years. My Piano teacher has just assigned me this particular Nocturne. He close to world class. Its not about the speed, its about the expression that is invested. And I think that this young woman does a fine job
oh my god you have problems...äähm okay...i'm playing piano now for 7..or 8 years...and i think...she's really very good playing but i also think that she's a little too fast...
whatever...*sorry for mistakes, but english isn't "my" language ;D*
Tell the camera idiot to take a video recording class.

it may be the recording- which isnt great- but there doesn't seem to be much dynamic range or delicacy here. She nearly hits the wrong note at 1:49. Over all, not bad. She seems to be working hard at it.

I think the dynamics and tempo are great, I especially like the way she draws out the turn at 2:15

i prefer to play this song slower than just about anyone else on youtube lol, but this version is by far my favorite as far as gracefulness goes. well done! i can only hope to succeed half as well!
dancindandelion 3 years ago 2
Graceful indeed :)
Some people keep nagging about tempo, or even say that "Chopin ment it different". Please... music is art! There are no rules for art, only guidelines.
It sounds great, get over it :')

I couldn't agree with you more! I was only speculating that the tempo was a refreshing change. Personally, I play the song a bit slower but she has really pulled off this speed excellently, making this one of my favorite versions on youtube, thus far. :)

im pretty sure chopin meant for this piece to be a little slower,
to savour those moments that just need it

no, he didn't... the tempo says 94 for a quarter note, and she plays is exactly like that

sorry, I ment 69 instead of 94

My score doesn't have a tempo marking, you should play it where comfortable and still musical.

nice interpretation...........but i think the ritardando on measure 9 should be a big deal....making it move into measure 10.........sort of like stretching it.....considerablely.....

Oh my! I was stunned when I heard your playing. It was melodius, well-phrased, and the rubato was sensational. Keep up the good work!

Very good rendition, probably the best one on youtube. *applauds*
BUT (just a bit of constructive criticism) I play it a bit slower too. This is one of Chopin's most delicate nocturnes and has the "aspiramente" feel in some places.
To PianoCriticKiller, I'd just like to make a comment that if you notice in the recording it is meant to be played a lot slower. This is a NOCTURNE - a short LYRICAL piece that evokes the qualities of NIGHT.

If you are so qualified at the art of piano and feel that you are good enough to be a critic, then why do you have no videos of yourself playing?
macinray 4 years ago
I'd love to, but if you've noticed in my videos I have no videos.. why? Because I too young to own a video camera and I have no idea how to upload videos (actually even RECORD) on to youtube.
Answer your question? I was simply voicing my opinion. Never said I was an artist of piano, notice the +2 on my comment :)
antyo 4 years ago
okay. I have to admit that you have a point. I am no less lazy than you for not taking 5 minutes out of my time to learn how to upload videos. I do appreciate the plus 2 on your comment. you express yourself with elequence. But look. I have taken piano for three years. My Piano teacher has just assigned me this particular Nocturne. He close to world class. Its not about the speed, its about the expression that is invested. And I think that this young woman does a fine job
macinray 4 years ago
oh my god you have problems...äähm okay...i'm playing piano now for 7..or 8 years...and i think...she's really very good playing but i also think that she's a little too fast...
whatever...*sorry for mistakes, but english isn't "my" language ;D*

I wasn't criticizing her.. What did I say bad about her? Did I say she sucked?
Your the one criticizing a teenager who just so happens to want to help another fellow pianist by advising her to play the piece slower.
I pity jealous creeps like you, take your insecurities out on somebody else. I was defending her from those who were actually insulting her.
antyo 4 years ago
In fact, my posting was not a criticism of anyone - just a suggestion that we all (peaceably) enjoy this lovely rendition.
PS - It's "you're," not "your." And it should have been a period, rather than a comma, before the word "take." Thank you.
