Arthur Rubinstein - Chopin Nocturne Op 55 No 1 in F Minor

[ChiefSuperdrew]

im still trying to learn this song on my piano. im still on the 3rd page

[RH98]

@ChiefSuperdrew Keep at it man. Do you find the hardest bits are the bits that sound the easiest and the parts that sound the hardest are the easiest, or it that just me?

[ultracowking]

the section from 4:32 onwards is the greatest thing i have ever heard

[Lucius1811]

Thumbs up if you know of chopin because of Piano No Mori!

[johnstan82]

sweet for ears this is music!!!!!

[Lucius1811]

I hate the Sme crap saying you cant watch this in a playlist, well haha i have fingers i can just replay the video you idiots! Score one for users!

<3

[ChopinFlutist]

I did not know that it was also in "the witcher 2" game trailer... It is very good for promoving classical pieces to the new generations :)

[CarUnlockingDevice]

Mkay

[audreyhsux5727]

btw EVERYONE, i hate it when people spell ARTUR RUBINSTEIN wrong as in rubenstein-people think they know him butthey even spell his name wrong! u cant say its a typo, people cuz i is nowhere near e!!!!

[CarUnlockingDevice]

By your fantastic hipster logic, you should all be pissed because Chopin isn't even playing this. Albert Rubinstein is.

So fuck him, he's such a mainstream following piece of trash.

If people heard it from The Witcher 2, then that's fine. Get over yourselves. You act like you're entitled to something because you were here first.

[audreyhsux5727]

@CarUnlockingDevice ...Albert? no, artur. or arthur.

[missmertueil]

@CarUnlockingDevice dude, what the fuck. relax

[abrarsutube]

Few have lived, created magic and left the gift for posterity...Chopin was such a man

[guitarplayer123]

fuck the witcher 2. CHOPIN ALL DAY WOOOO!!!

[joel80477]

witcher 2 hell yea!!

[calipeeable]

Thumbs up if a passion for classical piano, not the "witcher 2 trailer", brought you here.

[HoodedPianist1]

@calipeeable I'm with you on that one.

[TheGordonfreakman]

@calipeeable Can you please both? : /

[konar96]

@calipeeable WTF is witcher 2

[steppinout67]

@calipeeable They put this in a witcher 2 trailer?

[KristianEgs]

this is so beautiful

[Babli02]

I dont see anything wrong with finding out about this piece through trailer. Hipsters are funny beings.

[BlackMarlin9000]

What? What's Witcher? I'm just watching this because this is my very favorite piano piece.

[samsamusam]

what does it change to know it from "the witcher" or anithing else, you like this song or not and that's it.

[789123456789]

does anyone know how to get the version with the violins?

[thexproxnoob]

@789123456789 Just search for the orchestral version. Thats the one youre talking about

[Pianoguy32]

@789123456789 imslp org /wiki/Nocturnes,_Op.55_%28Chop­in,_Fr%C3%A9d%C3%A9ric%29

look on arrangements and also adjust the web adress ^_-

[svendiamond]

thumbs up if you've never heard of the witcher 2

CHOPIN 4 LYFE BITCHES

[pspvampire]

@svendiamond I have heard of the Wicher but I'm one of the people here like you who already liked Chopin and don't act as if they like the musician because they heard it on a trailer lol

[Coldon123]

4:30 - 4:50

Easily my favorite part of this piece! 

[kloop2]

Uh, this is Rubinstein's version, not Pollini's. :P

[SilentMarinePhoto]

Rubenstein's playing brings tears to my eyes!

[pspvampire]

@SilentMarinePhoto He is really fantastic. Pays full attention to every pause, bringing the right emphasis to every note Chopin would have intended. :)

[SophiaSu52]

wow that is just amazing...up in heaven chopin is giving pollini an applause ;)

[pianomandann]

amazing, ive never in my short life heard as much controll, style, and emotion that pollini demonstrated in this georgoues piece. Bravo sir, you are what drives all aspiring muscians to achive the level of skill that you have achieved.

[lovender82]

@DONPRONK

Yeah, you're right! ^^ And in the witcher 2 trailer, the piano played with the strings instruments...love this piece more & more then.

[darkmoonfaire]

@DONPRONK Haha, I knew it! Loved the version in that trailer.

[pspvampire]

@DONPRONK No I actually already knew the song, it's my favourite by Chopin but I was pleasantly surprised to see it on The Witcher trailer :D

[gurkmannen37]

@pspvampire It was a statement, not a question. Don't be a hipster.

[pspvampire]

@gurkmannen37 I'm the hipster? lol So I am a hipster for already knowing about this song? No it's called appreciating good music regardless of what game trailer it was on.

[SweetLittleElise]

<3333

[FibonaziProductions]

I keep getting Op 55 mixed up with Tchaikovsky's Chanson Triste. Both beautiful.

[Demi12ify]

I play that piece!

[olakala13G]

so beautiful! love it!

[pepermint26]

iperoxo

[mctopster]

This is best,

[arami777]

Rubinstein was born in Poland! Can't get more Polish than that.

I like his interpretation.

[nasser972]

my favorite nocturne piece

[nasser972]

my favourite nocturne piece

[jnglblls69]

weak, not like the Polish would do it

[2012Ronpaul2012]

@jnglblls69 that makes no sense. Rubinstein is the most famous pianist to come out of Poland since Chopin...

[mrscurmi]

exquisite

[charamander101]

yum.

The Nocturnes are a wholly remarkable set of pieces, each crafted genuinely so as to make it a true masterpiece

[Tetramethod]

this interpretation is the most beautiful i`ve heard

[crunkkally]

this is difficult to learn. but so worth it in the end. (:

[Draeka]

This is my favorite Chopin piece. It is a song for a sad life. Which most of us seem to lead.

[SquareBooth29]

I'd say live, not lead.

[mina8596]

soothing for some reason :)

[ScreamingSkullz99]

this is to fast for a nocturne

[toomuchmoretolearn]

@ScreamingSkullz99 no is not.

[christinaSLO]

it sounds so beautiful and so easy like all chopin pieces. but it is very difficult to play. I like it very much =)

[Aensgard]

@christinaSLO That's also because of Rubinstein's mastery on his instrument.

[paopaomanalansan]

Feeling sad after listening to this piece . . . but the beauty is worth it!

[toomuchmoretolearn]

@paopaomanalansan I agree with you!!!! This piece gets me in such a deep, deep, DEEP sadness, I can't even start telling you! It really gets me! What was Chopin going through to write such an amazing piece like this?!.... Well.... all his works are amazing.

[gre68]

I like noc 37 no 1 very much

[bthomashicks]

This is one of my favorite Chopin pieces.

[pspvampire]

@bthomashicks To me it is this one and Opus 37 no 1 in Gminor. :P

[GeneralGuitFiddle]

@bthomashicks This is my favourite, hands down. Can anyone recommend different versions to listen to?

[Herderszoon]

@GeneralGuitFiddle Ashkenazy :)

[eliasbb]

exquisite but curiously lacking in drama.

[toomuchmoretolearn]

@eliasbb why do you want drama in it?

[eliasbb]

@toomuchmoretolearn you're right. i hate to criticize. it's quite wonderful. it's Rubinstein! duh
