@atadsatirical No 3 of the Opus 15, I think that's what he intended to say

I don't know what to make of this Nocturne, I am confused by it, it is brilliant composition of course, but he confused me here :S

the tradition came from pipe organs played in huge hall with crazy reverb. since the natural third is in the overtone series a minor third against the bass sounds dissonant with the reverb so composers often cadence to the parallel major also known as the picardy third.

@iamghost4ever Yeees It's a beautiful piece :)

[hellboyreloaded]

@iamghost4ever No no no no no, the chord progression was presaging a change, see, the chord before the g major sounded like a bridge beetwen a minor and a major. Well let's say it could also end in G minor, but man, you can't say thats a flaw. Although i like the way it's written, you know, it like when someone is depressed/sad for a problem , but, suddenly, there is found a light of hope. It's perfect.

@hellboyreloaded oh yes oh yes. In 118 No 5, Brahms marches from F major right up to the brink of D minor, then turns away from the grave and flies away in D major. This feels the same. Not ready to jump into the grave, not yet!

@iamghost4ever LOL did you hear the chords that preceded the end?? in other words. It was IMPOSSIBLE to end this in G minor. Look, hear all the last section, and just before the g major sounds, go to the minute 4:45 (where a g minor sounds) I wouldn't like it to end like that.

[anesthetized8]

i thought it is in g-minor not major.

[cikibli]

@anesthetized8 it is indeed in g minor

[rubberbandgeek]

@cikibli no its not! Ive played this piece a trillion times and its in g major!

[cardcuts96]

@rubberbandgeek sorry to dissapoint you, but a flat on the H and E is indeed G minor

[croussant]

@anesthetized8 I believe they are talking about the last chord of the piece, not the key for the Nocturne.

Sometimes I hear Rubinstein and want to scream at his rushing and wrong notes and then he gives us a performance like this and I have to shut up...exquisite.
