  • epic piece of the collection of breathtaking sounds

  • I feel like I'm falling, but upwards. Thanks Frederic

  • That song is easy to pway!

  • @mathsprofessional As easy as typing on the keyboard. <3

  • @Bagelboy615 First introduction is easy, I'm halfway through learning the piece.

  • @mathsprofessional Hehe, well yes... this song is a bit easier than most. You didn't catch my pun, but I'm sure others might.

    However, the first half of the song is the easier part anyway. It's like the first stanza of Rachmaninoff's 3rd Concerto. xD

  • @mathsprofessional Yes, it's easy to learn and play, however, this piece is all about portraying emotions and there are only a few pianists who can interpret it right.

  • This song is how I discovered my love for classical music.

  • Beautiful piece, me and my mothers favourite! Such an strong movie too, thanks!

  • 22 Disslikes WTF ? Ok You'r Right He's Not a Fuckteeen Biberr :)

  • Vay anasini sayin seyirciler , polatta boyle bi sahnede vurulmisidi :)

    yalniz o senaristte amma nartismis he, bula bula bu muzik esliginde bogazin serin sularina gomusmustu yavrucak,,,

  • Since seeing THE PIANIST and buying the soundtrack, this nocturne has become one of my favorite pieces of music. Every time I hear it, no matter where, I'll think of the movie.

  • amazing song! It's so complicated to play it lol I'm struggling to teach myself this amazing song.

  • @zaye.. How very narrow minded of you.

  • chopin is the only true pianist, others wrote great for pianos too, but beside chopin anyone else's music fades away, he is the only one who squeezed out of the piano all the feelings it could possibly give out

  • for those who disliked, Chopin is gonna chop your fingers off.

  • This os one of my favorite piece's. My instructor use to get on my case cause I'd practice the songs I liked. She had me learn Fur Elise which is alright, but a lot of it sounded like so much drumming.

  • Amazing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • how you can dislike Chopin? He was one of the most talented composers!

  • 20 Dislikes? They aren't human

  • esta cancion sale en karate kid :D

  • i will miss playin on the piano due to too much work, this song is a dream

  • its also played on the peacemaker, though not as much

  • im not a big classical music fan but i just watched "black swan" and i thought i reconized this from the pianist.

  • @rockyfan94 thats nice but I think we all agree that this is better than beiber.

  • Superrrr...

    

  • Favorite composer and Nocturne

  • @Ansevub favourite composer my favourite nocturne has to be op 9 no 1

  • @Ansevub Artist: Janusz Olejniczak - it says so under the view counter for future reference :)

  • Who plays this performance?

  • Music was his passion, survival was his masterpiece.

  • This is the first thing my love ever played for me on the piano.

  • Es increible que podamos disfrutar hoy dia esta increible pieza musical de uno de los grandes de la musica de siempre

  • me encanta chopin nocturne

  • Im so happy I can play this, it helps me feel at ease in all sort of situations. <3 Chopin

  • @mwhahahaha1 SO HARDCORE!!!!

  • You all should try to listen to Maria Joao Pires' version of this

  • can Adrien Brody actually play piano!?? cuz in the movie it looks like he really can!

  • @BigTeo55 Brody really is playing in the movie. Roman Polanski wanted him to be able to play for the camera. Of course, it's a pianist playing for the soundtrack.

  • what can i say about this film/music, that has not been said so far...i feel the emotion in my soul...

  • oh i love that film; my favourite ever and i love this song also. :)

  • Comment removed

  • awesome movie and awesome melody as well!!

  • the best movie for me ever :)

  • Comment removed

  • I been playing guitar on and off for about a few years and I want to learn how to play the saxophone, piano, violin, bass, and possibly the drums. But I want an awesome piano in my home. Just to noodle with one would be a dream come true

  • As a guitarist, I only dream of being able to play piano. I'm certain with a piano and fair amount of practice I may be able to do it, but until then, a man can only dream.

  • @kibijit i play guitar, piano, violin, drums, synthesizer, blah blah blah, i'm not trying to brag my point here is that you can do anything if you put your mind to it! i had absolutely no talent to start off, but i really liked guitar. within two years, the first year struggling to learn power chords, the second year sweeping through dragonforce, i realized that you really CAN act upon your dreams! i believe you can do it, good luck!

    cheers and don't give up :)

  • Thumbs up if the pianist calmly sent you here.

  • what would you guys say the level of difficulty is for this piece? like easy, moderate, kind of hard.. etc.?

  • @Arigatoz easy to moderate but with hard parts

  • @Arigatoz This is listed as a grade 9 piece with the Royal Conservatory Celebration Series, so its pretty high up there. Its definetely not the hardest song for this grade though. The point is that its beautiful, and thats what really matters.

  • For those who dont get it you probably never will..Ive played many forms of music throughout the last 42 years and from year to year popular music keeps getting more dull and boring to me. Classical piano pieces like this are solely where I can truly love to listen.

  • Wonderful, just wonderful.

  • League of Legends.

  • @MrBirthdaycakez this music in that game?

  • @IcyScythe Oh, no sorry It's a character from it. I wish this music was in it, though.

  • Beautiful

    

  • I swear there is a conspiracy to reference modern day "musicians" on classical music videos. I swear to god. It's a fucking conspiracy to corrupt your mind to cross-reference shit with beauty. A conspiracy.

  • How in the world do this comments went from Chopin to eminem and Jay Z?

  • Music, in chinese, 音樂, they are in two words. 音 meaning sound, or just notes. 樂 meaning happy, enjoyable or glad. Together, meaning the sound, or notes, join together to form a true music, with its soul, with meaning and feeling. You can feel differently anytime you listen to this piece. This, is what I called music.

  • @jasonman071

    Yeah... me too.. with or without the chinese..

  • Comment removed

  • i love this score a lot ;[ it sad and i addicted to it

    life just like nothing..

  • all internet trolls were abused or molested as children. This is my favorite nocturne ever :)

  • In the pics are many jews about to get dead

  • breathtakingly beautiful

  • @MrDewy67

    Yes, I agree! Let's put up pictures of the revoulutions happening over in Islamic countries, or pictures of starving kids with AIDS in Africa, or how about pictures of people being arrested in Orlando, Florida for feeding the homeless in a video with the song Nocturne in C sharp minor which was in the movie, The Pianist which was based off the life of Władysław Szpilman, a Holocaust survivor.

    P.S. Sorry for the run-on sentence :P

  • @MrDewy67 shut up, you obviously have no idea of the importance of this event. If everyone were to just completely forget about the past then there would be no way for us to deal with "things happening in the world right now". without the memory and reference to the holocaust we might as well expect another one.

  • @NevilleG123 great response mate.

  • @MrDewy67 who gives a shit just listen to the beautiful music

  • @MrDewy67 This song is from the soundtrack of a movie about the holocaust. These aren't propaganda pictures. They're Adrian Brody.

  • Don't tell them your age kids, pedobear listens to classical too!

  • This is an amazing piece. One of my favorites. I love Chopin. I am a pianist and have been playing without lessons since 5 years old. My 3 year old is incredibly interested in piano and my two year old wont leave my guitar alone!!! I hope they keep up their interest in music when theyre old enough to take lessons!!!

  • There's already been an unbelievable amount of responses, so I thought I'd contribute. I'm 17, so not the youngest here, but let me say I'm not embarrassed to have half my Ipod filled with the works of old and new classical. From Chopin to Ludovico Einaudi, I love classical.

  • @jackgibbs1994 thats the spirit, todays music, i call it technologic trash, just noises and people singing shit, i have piano instrumental music and just classic rock, elvis, eagles, journey,

  • @jackgibbs1994 have you listned to Maksim Mrvica? Its a reformation of classical music. I love some of it and hate some of it but there is no denying his talent.

  • Do you guys know how self righteous, high strung, and stuck up you sound?

  • @Fireflyyx3 Who?

  • if i can play fantasie impromptu will i be able to play this?

  • @dudedudedude94 yes definitely

  • @dudedudedude94 If you can play it correctly (and by correctly I mean accurately and with feeling - well expressed feeling), then yeah, you should be able to play this. However, if you only know the notes and can't interpret it, don't kid yourself.

  • I think 15 people have a mental problem....knows fu... all about the music.....so sad

  • Bravo to you guys enriching your minds and musical tastes! Unfortunately a lot of the "music" of today has to by definition be called music; but whether it is lasting time will tell. As for musicians/composers like Chopin, Mozart, Schumann, Brahms, etc. their music has lasted this long and will most likely last for years to come.

  • This songs a panty dropper

  • working on this beautiful piece right now. I VOW TO MASTER IT!!!

  • I recently went through a five month period where all music to me was just dull and pointless. Classical music was an exception, especially pieces like this. I hate to admit it, but something Chopin did with those notes on that damn instrument have some kind of witchcraft involved.

  • Anyway, um, I got here a little late. How did everyone start arguing about bands with screaming vocals in the first place anyway? A video for a Chopin nocturne? WTF mate? lol

  • Goosebumps. 

  • hey, i've got an idea; why don't we all listen to the music we like and acknowledge other people's right to listen to whatever they want?

  • @OwenP277 Seconded and voted up.

  • @OwenP277 OMG, I never thought of that. It's so innovative. Man, you must be like a genius or something.

  • @malows1234 Lool. What a moron. Thumbs up if you agree, 'cause he didn't say he liked Justin Beiber or Hannah Montana. Funny! You're the one who mentioned them! So take back all you said, or get off this Chopin video.

  • @malows1234 First part = true. People have different taste in music you know... And that's that.

  • It's not about being grown up with this, it's about being open-minded.

  • So wonderful!!!!! what a great play......

    thanks for sharing.

  • i love too many genres deeply classical music being one of them, i can listen to hardcore punk one minute and classical music the next

  • simply beautiful.

  • I love this piece very very much :)

    my brother used to play it all the time to me and my parents :D ohh good old dayssss.

  • For me...and I know this will induce some classical pianists/musicians to turn, but I beg for your understanding of my opinion....I believe that Chopin is 2nd only to J.S Bach as far as the most renowned and brilliant of any composer who has ever lived. Just my view and I can understand opposing opinions from classical players who are more renowned then myself. I do not consider to be a classical pianists, because I delve too much in modern music and jazz...but I still love this stuff.

  • Mozart

  • I'm 21 years old and i love this music. This is the real music. It transmits many feelings.

  • it started with mozart and then it grew to the major romantic composers and recently i've finally found a love for bach's music that i couldn't find before

    sometimes i wish i was in a family like yours so that my passion wouldn't be adjacent to isolation

  • .so i started to listen to any song that had a guitar in it but even then i was unsatisfied

    at one point i remembered the movie Amadeus which i saw in 8th grade and thought "well i heard a lot of good things about mozart (my teacher said you can't practice to be as good as him) so maybe i should give it a chance" it was this thought and a few others that led me to not only play the piano but also love "classical" music

  • I don't know how you can dislike this song. It's beautiful and expressive. A lot of fun to play!

  • this piece is gorgeous and beautiful

  • what an old tun. Like i mean get in the mix home dogs.

  • @Aylward6 get in the mix eh?

  • love it love it love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Other than Bach, I'd have to say Chopin is my favorite composer to play. I find he has the most ambitious voice leading out of any composer I have played. I teach piano, and Chopin just lights up the lessons. Me and my students always run into deep conversations about his music :). Great piece but I think my favorite Nocturne is the F minor nocturne.

  • I'm kind of music-sensitive person overall, however there's only 2 pieces that make me cry: Chopin Nocturne op. 20 and Nick Cave's Henry Lee.

    Although both represent a different style or level, I can't be thankful enough that human kind has had such mastermind composers.

  • This is one of those songs, I am crying, while I am listening to them. And that makes it a masterpiece.

  • beautiful song, beautiful film.

  • My dog loves this song :D

  • Yup Jabberzz is right, this guy is way too mechanical. This was my all-time favorite piece back when I could play well. Not a snob, but couldn't make it one min into this one.

  • @SuperAlfredo333 BAH!!! speed means nothing compared to expression!!!

  • Hmm I don't really like this performance. I'm learning this piece right now and I think it should sound more sensitive and tragic. They way this person plays is kind of casual-sounding.

  • @MrJabberzz i disagree...i think that you can overplay something and make it too cheesy...you've gotta let the music speak for itself yaknow :) i'm also learning it - it's soooo nice!!

  • @MegaMegaAlex Yeah you can overplay it, any piece can be overplayed or underplayed. This guy is underplaying it in my opinion.

  • @MrJabberzz I completely agree... I myself am learning it and I love when it is less tense.

  • anyone know what is the name of the song that Hosenfeld played in the scene before??

  • Speaking as a teenager myself, it annoys me how teenagers today view music like this as being boring music for old people. They just hear the music, they don't listen to it and the talent and intricacy behind it. I find I'd much rather listen to Chopin than the likes of the talentless musicians that today's teens listen to. I don't know if anyone agrees or if it's just me being a 14 year old who was brought up on an older family with old fashioned views on music

  • @FearlessRLC96 Glad to know there are still people of young age who appreciate this music. :)

  • @NirvanaLord I'm a big fan of music from the baroque, classical and romantic periods...Theres so much more talent behind it than that of todays music :D I still listen to newer music, but the music i listen to is still considered old, besides Chopin, Mozart etc i listen to Bruce Springsteen, Blink - 182, GreenDay, and then slightly newer...McFly, Daughtry and You Me At Six, BUT i still don't think they're as talented as the likes of Chopin, Mozart and even modern composer Yiruma :

  • @FearlessRLC96 same, like exactly the same :L

  • @FearlessRLC96 Hey man, I'm 15 and I see where your coming from. I'm sure having a family which appreciates music certainly influences your tastes. After all, I played the piano for 9 years and I can appreciate what talent these people have because of the complexity and beauty. Don't denounce modern music though, because they are unique in their own ways, and everyone has their own opinion on everything. Yeah, I love Scott Joplin, but who doesn't like party music aswell.

  • @FearlessRLC96 Of course! Lady Vomit (whose stage name should be spelled with Ks instead of Gs) is less than dust compared to Chopin... Or any of the other Great Lights! (And there were a very few, but there were/are, even in contemporary music)...

  • @FearlessRLC96 Don't worry, I'm the exact same way. Everyone thinks I'm crazy for not listening to the music that kids my age listen to, but I think they're crazy for not recognizing these romantic composers as the true artists, not this pop music crap.

  • @FearlessRLC96 I guess you could say I'm somewhat of an outlier in my family, they didn't necessarily have old-fashioned views on music, and I held much the same opinion as you at the same age (14). From a very young age I had a discriminatory ear, and I knew what music took extraordinary talent to perform and I was drawn to it.

  • @FearlessRLC96 you're right. I'm 16 years old and i love this kind of music. There're also talented artist today, but classic music is amazing. Do you play an instrument by yourself?

    greets

  • @MrPianosmurf yes, i do play an instrument - I play Piano, Guitar, Clarinet, A little bit of Cello and I take singing lessons

  • @FearlessRLC96 I am so happy. It is hard to find people my age (well, almost. Im 16) who actually enjoy real music, the one that is an art. Keep listening to this master pieces, music feeds our souls, this is the best food you'll ever find.

  • @BreenSN I'm so glad that I'm not the only teenager who thinks classical music is the best! I actually had a discussion with one of my friends at the lunch table over which music is better: rock or classical...it was quite hilarious that he actually tried to argue the point when he was talking to like the king of classical music at my school....but yeah...it ended badly (FOR HIM)! :) he couldn't counter any of my points, and although i do enjoy (some) rock, classical is/always will be better!

  • @musicnerd001 Yes, I find myself arguing about that same thing But it doenst matter what kind of music people think is better than classical, in the end all of the music has been influenced bye classical (:

  • @FearlessRLC96 No way Bieber for the win.

  • @FearlessRLC96 so i'm not alone!!! =] ...here's my story

    at one point in health class in 4th grade the class was divided into two groups of people (those who liked rap and those who liked rock) i was the only one in the middle that didn't go anywhere because it was in my childhood that i didn't really know anything about myself....the kids on the rap side were telling me to come to them and so i did...my teacher pointed out to the class that that was peer pressure right there

  • @FearlessRLC96 idk if this is a coincidence but i did end up grow up listening to rap. most of these years i would just listen to what everyone else would listen to but when new and crappy rap music that came out, everyone liked it and i couldn't stand it so i decided to go to the old rap music that at least had really clever lyrics and then i got tired of just listening to lyrics and decided that i want to listen to actual musicians

  • @FearlessRLC96 I agree. I believe people should be open to all types of music, instead of being so narrow minded. -from a 15 year old

  • @CherryPie4058 I agree with your statement about people needing to be open to all types of music. For a 15 year old im very open to different genres...Whilst i don't like mainstream music,, my music intrests vary massively. My Ipod vary's from Romantic music to rock. From Country to Alternative, I have just about every Genre imaginable on my ipod. my itunes most played varies from Classical Soundtracks (Les Choriste's - Les Avions en papier) to Pop/rock (Daughtry, Mcfly, Twenty Twenty etc)

  • @FearlessRLC96 Same story here bro, i know exacly what you mean. Some music i listen to today is atleast better what most kids listen to. but your right, chopin created music for talented people and talentless people to listen too!

  • @FearlessRLC96 I Agree Wholeheartedly, I am 15 myself and I cringe at their ignorance. They do not comprehend the emotion that is contained in music, they have no opinions of their own.

  • @FearlessRLC96 I think it's fine to say you like this type of music but I don't think it's fair to call other people 'talentless.' I love Chopin, and this kind of music, but I also love other music, and just because it's not Chopin it doesn't mean those people haven't worked hard to make their music. Music is a way to express yourself, so I don't think it's fair to sit there and say they're talentless; it's a matter of opinion. But I do agree, Chopin is beautiful.

  • Comment removed

  • @FearlessRLC96 I too am a teen, though on the last year of being so...and I 100% agree with you. ;) I've always thought classical piano has so much depth that is just waiting to be soaked up and adored. There is so much beneath the music that the music of today doesn't have. :)

  • @FearlessRLC96 I completely agree with you that way too many teenagers completely disregard classical music and it pisses the heck out of me... most of my closest friends recognize that I'm a really serious violinist and it's probably going to be my future career, but they still don't even come to my recitals. But the thing about classical music is, it's timeless, no matter whether it was written yesterday or in Chopin's time or 500 years ago it's still powerful and life changing.

  • @FearlessRLC96 I agree. you have a pretty intelligent head on those young shoulders. ;) I'm 21 and thankful for my families having exposed me early to great classical music and opera. No other genre of music can move me as much, often even without words. I feel bad for people who never experience that. Other music has it's place to be sure (I like some 60's and 70's music, bluegrass, jazz, lots of stuff) but classical is without doubt the pinnacle!

  • @FearlessRLC96 When I was a child, I watched this movie, and I swore that I would learn to play the piano, and I hoped that I would play this, On March 28th 2011 I played this with my heart to a crowd of 300+ people. I am 14 years old, And I acheived my dream- I wish the world would understand great music and not just what the others are doing. :*( This song inspired me to be who I am, And i will never forget that

  • @FearlessRLC96 I know right? I am a teenager and I listen to classical music, I do listen to other types, like classic rock (Pink Floyd, the Stones etc..), I love folk music like Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen, but when I told my friends I was going to do piano lessons, they laughed at me. I think its stupid and closed minded too condemn a whole genre as "boring and gay".

  • @FearlessRLC96 I couldn't have said it better myself, as it was exactly the same when I was a teenager in the 70s... though I appreciated Chopin and Mozart along with the likes of Black Sabbath, Blue Oyster Cult, Alan Parsons Project, etc. (and still do)

  • @FearlessRLC96 Sir, you are part of the righteous few. I am 17, and am part of a family that listens to new age garbage. I personally find it talentless and stupid. I wish we could all go back to a time when time and effort went into creating a song of this caliber, not having your writers spit a new one out every day or so...

  • @FearlessRLC96 NOT ALL HOPE IS LOST! I am a teen as well, 15! I plan to bring this music BACK.

  • @FearlessRLC96 I can totally sympathize with you. I'm 15, and every time my friends look at my ipod they are disappointed to find it full of classical music. They find it laughable that a young person can actually enjoy music without sexually explicit choruses, repetitive melodies and shameful lyrics written in 5 minutes. Chopin was an artist. Eminem isnt and will never compare with Chopin. Its been 165 years since Chopin, and people still listen to him. The same cannot be said about anyone aliv

  • @R0FLLWAFFL3 you are right, i think you can not compare the two as they are so different, however, eminem is an artist but just in a different manner, I do not like his music either but to say he is not talented would be a mistake. Also i agree, no one will be listening to eminem, jay z and the like in 160 yrs time which to be honest is a good thing, then no one from that time will laugh at how we were into so much crap

  • @FearlessRLC96 well music evolves as us so the more our society advance the more music and art advance as well. You can't say that popular music are bad and without talent ,as well as, you can't say that classical romantic are also boring. Of course if you were brought up in a family that love classical music then your taste might change. I'm a pianist since I'm 3 and now I'm 15 playing classical repertoire. I don't deny pop music but i don't dislike them either. It's all part of the taste.

  • @FearlessRLC96 I completely agree with your statement on youth of today not appreciating music. Chopin's nocturne #20 in c-sharp minor and Schubert's Scherzo in B-flat are two of my favorite pieces, and I'm fifteen. Most people I know would have scoffed and moved on to mind-numbing Ke$ha and Katy Perry, rather than being able to hear the beautiful simplicity before them. I'm sorry if I'm long winded, but I appreciate people with similar ideas. Mature young people or old souls, like me.

  • Comment removed

  • @FearlessRLC96 You are absolutely right!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I'm also fourteen and a half years old)

  • @FearlessRLC96

    I've always agreed that society is pretty meaningless... There's not many people that know what real entertainment sounds like.

  • @FearlessRLC96 same here <3

  • I CAN PLAY THIS SO WELL IM SO HAPPY. isn't it about 7th grade ameb (8 ameb grades)

  • @JSJCB If i start playing the piano tomorrow, can i learn this in 1 week :)

  • @opium25 Shut up your just high off opium

  • @JSJCB I doubt it, if anyone knew were the opium was it would be.....s.w.i.m. Or arabs, either way its hard to find maybe hes just an idiot?

  • Guys,  why in the world would you dislike this? Please, come on, this does not deserve 12 dislike.

  • what grade is this in ABRSM??

  • what level would this be for certificate of merit anyone know?

  • @92024able This is grade 9 if that's what your asking.

  • @MrJabberzz what does grade 9 mean?

  • @martinisipe It's a grade level set by the Royal Conservatory of Music, as far as I know, Canadian music students follow this grade system. It might be international though.

    So the grades go from 1 to 10, it usually takes one year per grade, 9 is pretty high.

  • @MrJabberzz and after 10 is ARCT level.
