You are very nice, here they combine the beauty of the music with your beauty, to my also I like to touch the piano, but even I am not very good, your you play very well, congratulations
After listening to this piece i felt i was dreaming! marvelous!.just try to polish it by relaxing completely while playing it and then becoming one with the song.for my part i think that Chopin would have been glad to hav e you as a student
You are almost there. Don't rush. Chopin showed the rest of the world how silence can be golden. Listen to a professional pianist again and again for the dynamics! Good job, overall.
The rhythm on some of those runs is just off - doesn't correspond to the way it was written. Good job on that big run near the end though, it's a doozy.
This is Chopin, not Bach! You have to be kidding with the power your using, you need to make sure that you are playing with big emotion with little sound. Fix up the trills too, the frist note of the thrill is supposed to be on the bottom first. This is a song with too meaning, good luck! Hope my comment has helped.
You play the song very well - or whoever is in the video, I think it is you? I aspire to play like this. Wonderful. I love Chopin. Thank you for sharing your piano playing with us, and being brave enough to sing along, and also playing anime songs as well as the classical piano pieces. I would love if you would please put up a Beethoven piece on here - perhaps the 9th Symphony, or Fur Elise. :)
i was just wonderin how long uve been playin the piano...just so i can know if im on da right track.U should try connecting the beginning chords a lil more. its a romantic piece so it should be almost fluid. Also, work on the trills just a lil. They should be a lil faster. Other than that u did an excellent job with it. Loved the scales and dynamics!!
Not bad! :) Sounds quite good all in all. I think the tempo is alright, too...maybe a little bit too much ritardando at the end. But I guess you expect some kind of constructive criticism. ;)
Always remember: This is a nocturne, not a toccata! ;) Maybe you should calm down your left hand. Try to discribe circles by your wrist. And try to keep the left-hand-fingers together even though the distances are large.
Está tocada sin sentimiento, al menos esa es mi visión. Intenta que la izquierda no sea tan marcada, que no suene como una máquina, como un reloj, sino que sea algo del corazón, que varíe, ahora piano, ahora fuerte, ahora lento, ahora rápido...no se si se me entiende xD
I enjoyed this piece very much. It would be nice to shoot videos, such as this, from an angle that would show your hands/fingers. So we,who are learning this piece, could pick up a few pointers... or make a constructive suggestion.
Beautifully played! *I'm not a musician so I don't know anything about tempo or other things like that!* I do know this song though, it's soo beautiful! ^_^
secondly, I think you tempo is fine as every musician has a different view on what he/she is playing,if not it would be boring,so don't care about the tempo,play it as you like,also,you can change the rythm and some notes,as long as it sounds well to YOU,remember that, you are not playing Chopin's nocturne,that would be impossible to do; you are playing YOUR interpretation on how you understand that piece
Right, but since she is doing an interpretation of Chopin, she can't go too much out of the style of chopin. I'm all up for interpretation, but still managing to making it sound like its within that time period.
The rythm of the begining is false and the middle part is too, but it is like you feel it. I think you can make effort on the (sense of) touch !! more practice and it will be Amazing !... (sorry for my english lvl: it is bad, i know:p:p)
To answer the tempo increase in a 3/4 section. When the meter changes from it's orginial or a new feel is added, there is always a increase or decrease. In this instance, the beginning tempo starts off slow (in a standpoint) so therefore you would increase. If the beginning tempo were to have begun with Vivace and you reached that point, you would have slowed down - as in - Chopin's Minute Waltz. Hope this clears it up!
There is more than one instance of a rhythmical break. This song is more of free-verse with slight rubato in places. Correct pedalling will aid you in the carrying and/or sustaining of your notes. Your left-hand almost needs to be automatic. Good job on the run at the end! Just watch your left-hand! Good luck and best regards,
The copy I have of this piece is from the Alfred Masterwork Edition of Chopin Nocturnes (Complete). I am not trying to be critcal I am just curious from an academic standpoint if your copy has the tempo increase dramatically during the 3/4 section of the piece?
my copy does not have the tempo increase written. For some reason, every performance I've heard of this song accelerates through that section, and my teacher told me to do so XD so, I don't know.
I hear your song every day.... I love how you put your heart in to the music....Congratulations....I listen anothers videos playing the same music but your video, for me, is the best.
Let the right hand carry it a little more, lead rather than follow. The right hand can sound playful, once you get the accuracy (which is pretty good already). A bit stiff and mechanical in places. But I enjoyed the performance.
thank you all for the constructive criticism and encouragement ^^. I will definitely work on lightening up my left and paying closer attention to dynamics/tempo.
Left hand is too heavy. One poster suggests letting the right hand lead: very good advice. Middle bit, Chopin's direction is sotto voce i.e. in a subdued manner. Soften up, and focus on the dynamics. You're nearly there. An exquisite piece of music. Requires a lot of time to get right.
I'm also working on this piece, and I love it, too! :) You do a good job of those runs at the end--I never can get that long one half fast enough, though I'm playing most of the rest of the piece faster than you, so that makes some difference. Near the very end, I do believe there's a note that you repeat which is supposed to be tied.
Hmm... i love this piece. Im playing it at the moment too. I do think you play the beginning too slow however, it is your interpretation. And the middle section sounds too fast, sorta loses its meaning. But those runs at the end you play really well
Is this the same piece also played in Karate Kid 2010?

You should listen to the version in the movie the Pianist. Your trillings are too short and your left hand should speed up while you trill.
