Ignore the comments of those who just don't get it. Play it the way you feel it! You wouldn't expect Jimi Hendrix to play a Dylan Song the way Dylan wrote it, and you don't have to play classical music the way everyone else has always played it either. I am a 58 year old professional violinist. I got here via your excellent Gershwin Prelude #2. I play the Heifetz arrangement for violin and piano. If I find myself in Vancouver I'm going to look you up so we can play it together.
This has always been one of my personal favorite pieces - and this is by far the best interpretation of it I have ever heard! Just like I've always imagined it, and like I've wanted to play it myself.
I couldn't agree less with the people complaining about the rubato. Tempo giusto is not for this piece, whatever the sheet says (btw my sheet doesn't say that :-)).
lol i could feel more your facial expression that your passion while playing,,what i mean is..there are some part where you put too much on if which are not needed and not puting inpart where is mostly needed.on the beggining of the chorus, you are not to slow it and put dybamics unto it because it is played on normal dynamics and speed..which you changed it therefore wee have to change ourregards for you as well..otherwise, if i were to rate it 3/6..youre good though..keep more practice
I really like the way you play this. Everyone else I've heard is really pompous and arrogant in the piu mosso sections. I like it when it's quiet and reserved. Piano players generally piss me off. you didn't. I liked it. Don't get me started on various interpretations of satie.
Maybe a little too much rubato? One of the hardest things to do is develop control over it .. do it too much and it gets old, do it too little and it sounds dull.
Play for long enough, it'll come to you. You're on the right track.
you should have a closer look on your pedal. You shoudn't literally look your pedal, but you had too many breaks while using it. Many people say that using the pedal right is one of the hardest things (in terms of music, of course). I have other little things in my mind about this, but yeah, it was quite good though. I hope I didn't sound too negative, at least I didn't mean to.
Beautifully played !I heard about ten people play the same piece just before I clicked on your link and you're the best by far ! Well done ! So much feeling and expressions. After all music is about expressing one's feeling.
Yo, Awesome! There is nothing to add, except it shares a kinship with mine! U can olso pique Chopin's interest by changing his notes a little and giving it a Russian feel...he'll like that!
I like the way you play with the tempo, and it's certainly supposed to be stretched and compressed slightly, but sometimes, especially in the beginning, it's just too much. Don't make the listener seasick.
The mayority of great pianists express only with hands and no with body language. I think your movements are a little overexpressed although you play this walts really good and excellent technique!
although many people may agree that his movements are overexpressed.. i think that his movements only show how in sync he is with this music... i know when i play piano, the music controls me, and i just go with it..
Excellent. Although perhaps where there ws a 'meaningful pause' on the surface, it was maybe a hesitation underneath? I'm talking about that bit with the slightly tricky ascending chords (only happen once) in the left hand, in the D flat major section.
But, that's just me being ridiculously minutely pedantic. You still play it wayyyy better than I do. I go too loud and fast normally.
I'd have to say that your changes in tempo threw me off-guard for a bit, but that's probably because I'm used to listening to the MIDI format and not a "live" performance. 5/5
This one is definatelly better than the other one. It's still a little different than what I'm used to hearing, but no doubt that you play really well.
I love to see a pianist like yourself moving with the music. It looks like you really have a passion for playing. awesome job. And that is a beautiful piece of music you chose
I liked your first recording better. It was much cleaner with less pedal. But your second recording by all means is bad. It is quite good. Don't listen to people how something should be played like this or that. Everyone has their taste and you should play how you like it. That's what makes music interesting. Everyone has different things to say to the same music. Good job.
I play this piece too, but havent uploaded onto youtube yet. LOL, the way you move your head and and your facial expressions are just like me.
I havent watched your first upload of this waltz, but this is a pretty job. My interpretation is much less rubato, I think you warp the tempo way to much in some parts. but still a good recital. 5/5 man!

For a film I'm making for school I'm looking
for videos of people who are playing
Chopin - Nocturne in B flat minor, op.9 n°1.
I already found some on YouTube but I'm looking
for some more vids. If you are interested,
please leave a videoresponse to my only video on my account.

I think you play is much to edgy... if you know what I mean... this walz has to flow. It has to be more gentle and sweet... I think^^

interesting interpretation, but I don't think this piece is for rubato. Doesn't it say on your score "tempo giusto?"
LordVesper 4 years ago
It should say tempo giusto shouldn't it! Exact tempo, no rubato I think!
But this however was beautifully played.
