man!! this piece has attitude everywhere!! this isn't the hardest or the fastest piece of chopin but its one of the most emotional piece. I thought Chopin was crying when he wrote this...
I just posted my interpretation of Nocturne opus 9 ,No.2. I would appreciate your comments. Please click on my video shown just above this comment (im the guy with black t-shirt)
I won't go back to see who you are replying too, but "hard" does not mean fastest or most complex. Chopin was a master of emotion. The "hard" part about this piece (along with any of his other's) is not hitting the correct keys, but instilling in the listener a moving emotional experience. Chopin was a master at this. This is not, nor can never be, questioned.
@gamminggod303 Perhaps I should have used the term "technically complex?" That's what I meant; perhaps the greatest piano player in the world could make heart and soul more moving than a lesser player playing this piece, but this piece would still be more "technically complex" than heart and soul.
@bananaphone951 ahah this afternoon I just decided to leave (sob) the 4th moment musical of Rach for this...I love them both, I adore them...but yet Rach is too difficolt for my poor hands. And I did others Nocturnes of Chopin, finding them in armony with my touch and soul I decided for this wonderful one.
The first time I heard this, I had just moved far away from the home I grew up in. The majority of the piece had me longing for home, knowing I could never go back. The end part ended up finally taking me back there, evoking memories of my room, the trees, the grass glowing in the sunlight, the rainy days indoors, the snow, and just the magic of that place, the last image being of the last time I saw it. I can not only see it, but feel it, and even now it never fails to put tears in my eyes.
@AirRaj i love it so much too now.... i kind of regret spending so much time on op 27 no 2 LOL i totally underestimated op 27 no 1!!! so much sorrow, sight reading through it i was nearly brought to tears toward the end of the first page in my edition!!
@newFranzFerencLiszt :D i'll have to take a look at the sheet music for those two as i'm not familiar with them yet! although i do love the op 15 no 1!
Listen from 00:44 and compare to the Alliance Outland theme in TBC in WoW. It is uncanny, I couldn't believe it when I realized where I heard this before. Sadly Youtube won't let me link it in the comment.
I haven't played piano in years and I'm trying to learn this piece. What's throwing me off is that each measure doesn't begin with the lowest note in the left hand. It's as if the entire left hand is shifted 1 beat forward in time.
what level would you say this piece is? I would really like to play it, but i'm not certain whether it's worth even asking my teacher for. I don't want to seem stupid to ask for such a piece in case it's out of my level 8 reach
@Pianoguy32 i understand that, but reasonably what kind of experience would be needed? Since school started, I've been pretty busy, and I don't want to jump into something absolutely difficult and committing.
@Dunderhead36 I'm not sure which "Level 8" you're going by (I'm from the USA). In Canada this piece is considered ARCT or Diploma-Level 1, but it's not as difficult as many other Chopin pieces on that level (Fantasie-Impromptu, the etudes, Heroic Polonaise, or even the Berceuse).
Of course the best thing to do might be just to ask your teacher and see what he/she recommends. But if you want my opinion, if you think you can learn this piece it's certainly worth a try.
Whenever I listen to this piece, I imagine myself sleeping in a boat in the middle of the ocean...the dark waters rocking me back and forth until a great wave swallows me whole and I slowly drift into the depths...
Chopin (1810-1849) wrote during a very revolutionary period in European History. That saw the birth of nationalism and industrial revolution. Do not disconnect the musician from his social context. But this particular work starts in adagio man facing a problem the crescendo in the middle stirs the soul. I think this ultimately is the purpose of great music to stir the soul. But Why these particular notes instead of others? Ask yourself that. Poetry with musical notes not words.
My theory: If you do a lot of research into the composer and his work you can shed some light into the music. The true piano had just been invented. Chopin was composing in an experimental mode on a brand new instrument. It is very hard to visualize internal workings of psyche when you listen to this opus. But the human emotions evoked by particular adagios are clearly represented. Listen to his etudes. The man was a genius of musical drama . He wrote during the romantic period very tumultuous
lots of talk, why can't you simply enjoy the music? this is music not a talk with the shrink you can't "analyse" it at all! I mean, does anybody know what he felt, what he thought... Do you need any words, let the meaning of it be what this song awakes in you.
For me, analyzing is is synonymous with enjoying it. If I were to just sit and listen to it, it would carry with it the same substance and depth that other musics do.
@mahler151, Analyzing it "Musically" is possible and ok, NOT "psychologically", he is not a patient, this is not a talk session who knows about the EGO, ID or whatever relations in this song I never even heard about psychoanalysis on a song. If I'm mistaken please paste me the article, or the name of the person who wrote that theory.Trying to analyse Chopin is VERY pretentious and if one was to do it serious would be NOT on YOUTUBE...
Continuing....My only statement is that psychology, psychoanalysis is something serious and when you want to do such work with people, dead or not, you shall Never expose them this way, if you want to study these relations there is a proper place and way to do it. This ethical inadequacy is not compatible with the kind of decorum necessary for this "work", and the simple lack of sources and material to make this assumptions make it anti-ethical by definition, not possible to be taken serious
Wow, some of you guys have some really overcomplicated interpretations of this music.
I just think its about a guy jacking off, trying hard to battle 'wankers remorse'. Hes depressed at first and starts jacking it, he keeps going and going, slowly but surely he forgets about his guilt, at 3:21 he cums, immediately after the extreme guilt and shame returns. Hes lays there wallowing in his pity, until 4:45 where he tells himself to stop being a pussy and then goes about his daily business
To use the two Freudian terms you would have to also include the third term, the super-ego. The three are not about good and evil. They are about instinctual desires, organization and realism, and finally morality or judgment. You also leave out the final beautiful harmony of both hands at 4:42 through to the end.
@itsdavideo Just because you have no interest in a closer analysis (for instance, one that makes us of a hermeneutic to explain structural tension) doesn't mean no one else should be allowed to.
Enjoying it because "it's a really nice sounding composition" doesn't rule that out.
Chopin used to swoon, rock torso up down almost putting ear to keyboard only to lean back head high eyes closed .The parissienne ladies were so moved they fainted. More than mere musician he was a showman. Passionate music always executed with bdramatism accentuate high notes banging fingers on keyboard producing rich sound dramatic effect. Lots of pedal for echo. Sound of piano indoors creates resonance effect capable of disturbing soul. Frederic knew his instrument like his hand. (part2) end.
Where did you get all this musical psychology? Wrong it is not about psyche alone it is physical body struggling with all life throws at us.Unrequited love passion pathos catharsis the ominous storm cloud approaches usual contrast of bass versus treble notes high vs low register leading to appasionato sostenuto middle crescendo pianissimo fortissimo struggle passion great romance shattered by reality ends in relative calm life's ups and downs. Correct me if I am wrong. (part1 )
@PoeticIsDead Poor and middle class people are starved for culture, but youtube is helping with that by making this music accessible. I think that's wonderful.
@PoeticIsDead Wow, you're dark. Just cill out and let all people enjoy the music. If there are people on here who only listen to this to make themselves feel more intellectual than they really are, that's fine. It won't hurt you.
I agree with tokyouniverse07 except i wouldn't have said the things @ white people since I am white and so was Chopin - but really! just enjoy instead of having to analyse something to death!!! Your ego and id stuff is meaningless anyway.
@tokyouniverse07 DUDE THAT WAS SO RACIST we all humans try to explain everything its our nature its part of what makes us evolve, so are you telling me only white people evolve?
I was lost untill I took a Music Appreciation class. Once I heard Chopin's music I felt as if I had been reborn. No disrespect to the many other great composers , but Chopin's music soothes my soul.
@rsalinas956 Not trying to make a stab at you, but I always found Music Appreciation classes funny. Should you really have to take classes to appreciate music?
That's interesting. That score doesn't match the one I've got, nor the ones I find elsewhere on the internet and download. In this vid, in the tenth measure, the top note in the second arpeggio is an F#. In every other score I can find, it's an A. And Rubinstein is clearly playing an A there.
Just sit back and enjoy the poet of the piano. Chopin was the master of the nocturne and Rubinstein was one of the great pianist of our day. Put it together and you have something to sooth the soul.
@Edou467 I agree with you on trying to 'speculate' things and I think human intellect would be nowhere without the ability of speculations.
But hey, to put it bluntly I felt piss too when you saw the phrase "this piece represents..." I'm not saying you're at fault. I don't think anyone beside Chopin could say what the piece is about. We can speculate and our speculation may even be better than his, but i think we should reserve the phrase "this piece represents..." for him, in his honour.
I think the "ego" comment is interesting. I would have given it a thumbs up, if it wasn't said in such a declarative way. Personally, I think that this music is completely beyond expression in words. It is too complex, too mysterious, and too spiritual. It truly moves me, and trying to express this piece in any other way than playing it, just seems like an injustice to its beauty...Well, that's my opinion! :P
@monobrow638 - you are completely right. Edou467's conjectures are possibly mildly entertaining and they are egotistical and self serving. But what Chopin expresses here with this magical and spiritual work trivializes them completely. Music is far beyond words and theories. It expresses the inexpressible. Within a few years we'll have new theories to replace egos and ids - but Chopin's music is timeless.
@davidzen011 I am sorry but I don't understand how my conjectures are egotistical. As if getting zero or one thousand "likes" will make my life any better. I agree that music is magical but it does not mean it shouldn't be reduced to words. Chopin probably transposed his music to other elements of life, either concrete or fictional. I am not trying to impose a theory behind this chef-d'oeuvre. Just trying to imagine something that fits the music.
@davidzen011 You both know so much about this kind of music, i've only began listening to classical, although i've listend to soundtracks for years. Its fascinating to see there is so much yet to be 'understood' about this genre of music :)
Oh, Rubinstein, nobody plays Chopin like you did. Sorry, Horowitz, you rocked the romantics overall, but Rubinstein's Chopin gets me right in the heart.
What a delicate and intriguing piece of music, it is amazing to see some of the interpretations of it, brilliant stuff people of you tube, some of your minds are quite strong...Must teach me!
When you go against the grain or form of the work you are not interpreting but willfully distorting the work -you may call it interpretation but the composer would
be furious and let you know "that's not the way I wrote it !" and tell you it is wrong .
Chopin was known to have said this about Liszt playing some of his works with the
added "play it as I wrote it or leave it alone " At the 5th. bar this performer begins to
contradict the written score so" interpretation" is wrong .
@dziady1 Interpretations can't be wrong. You can dislike them, but interpretations are something of someone own. If for him it's right, it's right, but you can still dislike it.
@Edou467 I think you should say "the big Ego" or "the superego", because the Id its diferent. The Ego controls the Id an the Libido for "his" satisfaction, not necessarily sexual, on the other hand, the Superego controls the moral, but, I think your'e right in the emotional an the human aspects.
@BananaCereza The Ego does not control the Id. The Id is independent and has no contact with reality. It is only trying to satisfy desires such as hunger, thirst, sex. The superego "controls" the Id by trying to satisfy desires through morally acceptable ways. For example, if you want to eat, the Superego will help satisfy the need by "telling" the person to buy food instead of eating another person, which is what the Id would do without external control from the Ego and the Superego.
@Edou467 that is, if ego exists...but what if it doesn't? Truly, what is the ego? What if, carefully observed, the ego is but mumbo jumbo of memories, feeling, perception, and thought (which is resulted from the previous three)? That's my opinion, but the idea was taken from someone else's.
@Edou467 Firstly, I think you mean the Superego, and secondly, there's about 100 years of difference between this song and Freud's theory of the Id, Ego and Superego. I don't think this piece is really representative of it, maybe it reminds you of it... but it's certainly not what it represents...
This music is very dangerous to our society! Chopin is very smart and he doesn't need to use all of the tactics that modern heavy metal bands use, like swearing and getting tattoos. Chopin encodes his music with satanic numbers and subliminal melodies that put you into a brainwashed trance. Just look at all of the groupings of six notes together... There are six notes in each measure, and 12 measures total, which makes four groupings of "666." Please don;t fall for his tricks!
@BieberBabyBopper What the hell it's wrong with u that's why i hate bieber's fans u think that u stupid bieber it's the best when hi's not talent at all chopin it's brilliant it's a masterpiece and there's nothing satanic in his music seriously if u like destroy your brain with justin bieber's musci do it just don't come to mess up with the real music
@BieberBabyBopper Are you kidding me? Chopin is one of the masters of music and his music will never die and what does your "tactics that modern heavy metal bands use" have to do with the beauty of classical music? Shut up and listen instead of putting down lies.
@BieberBabyBopper are you retarded? Better yet, has Beiber caused such brain damaged that you think that this classical masterpiece is Satanic? You really are a fool
@BieberBabyBopper Are you effing kidding me ? REally now? You are the most stupid person I have ever heard of in my whole life. You're saying that Chopin is bad for your brain? Look at Bieber, that's more damaging your brain. You didn't turn out smart because you listen to fucking bieber, okay? So stfu & gtfo.
@ReedDollaz15 thats one of the great things about music. it allows you to express your innermost emotions in a much deeper way than words can express.
beautiful. i dont wanna argue about time signatures or 16th notes or anything. i just wanna be able to listen to this piece. it's simply magnificent <3
@ultraviolent29 Absolutely, rubinstein madehere a realy beautiful interpretation. Although I prefer the nocturnes by Claudio Arrau, who is more sensible, suffering and tender than Rubinstein... in one word, is more expressive.
I'm almost sad I never heard this gorgeous nocturne before. Chopin was such a unique, imaginative innovator of harmony. He was the true father of impressionism even before the word existed.
the mood is pretty dark for a nocturne.

That's interesting. That score doesn't match the one I've got, nor the ones I find elsewhere on the internet and download. In this vid, in the tenth measure, the top note in the second arpeggio is an F#. In every other score I can find, it's an A. And Rubinstein is clearly playing an A there.
I wonder what's up with that.

Just sit back and enjoy the poet of the piano. Chopin was the master of the nocturne and Rubinstein was one of the great pianist of our day. Put it together and you have something to sooth the soul.

@Edou467 I agree with you on trying to 'speculate' things and I think human intellect would be nowhere without the ability of speculations.
But hey, to put it bluntly I felt piss too when you saw the phrase "this piece represents..." I'm not saying you're at fault. I don't think anyone beside Chopin could say what the piece is about. We can speculate and our speculation may even be better than his, but i think we should reserve the phrase "this piece represents..." for him, in his honour.

I think the "ego" comment is interesting. I would have given it a thumbs up, if it wasn't said in such a declarative way. Personally, I think that this music is completely beyond expression in words. It is too complex, too mysterious, and too spiritual. It truly moves me, and trying to express this piece in any other way than playing it, just seems like an injustice to its beauty...Well, that's my opinion! :P
monobrow638 6 months ago 4
@monobrow638 - you are completely right. Edou467's conjectures are possibly mildly entertaining and they are egotistical and self serving. But what Chopin expresses here with this magical and spiritual work trivializes them completely. Music is far beyond words and theories. It expresses the inexpressible. Within a few years we'll have new theories to replace egos and ids - but Chopin's music is timeless.
davidzen011 6 months ago 9
@davidzen011 I am sorry but I don't understand how my conjectures are egotistical. As if getting zero or one thousand "likes" will make my life any better. I agree that music is magical but it does not mean it shouldn't be reduced to words. Chopin probably transposed his music to other elements of life, either concrete or fictional. I am not trying to impose a theory behind this chef-d'oeuvre. Just trying to imagine something that fits the music.

When you go against the grain or form of the work you are not interpreting but willfully distorting the work -you may call it interpretation but the composer would
be furious and let you know "that's not the way I wrote it !" and tell you it is wrong .
Chopin was known to have said this about Liszt playing some of his works with the
added "play it as I wrote it or leave it alone " At the 5th. bar this performer begins to
contradict the written score so" interpretation" is wrong .

@Edou467 I think you should say "the big Ego" or "the superego", because the Id its diferent. The Ego controls the Id an the Libido for "his" satisfaction, not necessarily sexual, on the other hand, the Superego controls the moral, but, I think your'e right in the emotional an the human aspects.
BananaCereza 7 months ago
@BananaCereza The Ego does not control the Id. The Id is independent and has no contact with reality. It is only trying to satisfy desires such as hunger, thirst, sex. The superego "controls" the Id by trying to satisfy desires through morally acceptable ways. For example, if you want to eat, the Superego will help satisfy the need by "telling" the person to buy food instead of eating another person, which is what the Id would do without external control from the Ego and the Superego.
Edou467 7 months ago
@Edou467 Except that the concept of the Id and the Ego were not developed until 70 years after Chopin died.

@Edou467 that is, if ego exists...but what if it doesn't? Truly, what is the ego? What if, carefully observed, the ego is but mumbo jumbo of memories, feeling, perception, and thought (which is resulted from the previous three)? That's my opinion, but the idea was taken from someone else's.

@Edou467 Firstly, I think you mean the Superego, and secondly, there's about 100 years of difference between this song and Freud's theory of the Id, Ego and Superego. I don't think this piece is really representative of it, maybe it reminds you of it... but it's certainly not what it represents...

This music is very dangerous to our society! Chopin is very smart and he doesn't need to use all of the tactics that modern heavy metal bands use, like swearing and getting tattoos. Chopin encodes his music with satanic numbers and subliminal melodies that put you into a brainwashed trance. Just look at all of the groupings of six notes together... There are six notes in each measure, and 12 measures total, which makes four groupings of "666." Please don;t fall for his tricks!
