Chopin Nocturne op. 9 No. 1

[iampalmmute]

Lovely

[Sashomei]

digital piano or no

?

[TeQuiLLaXY]

@Sashomei Digital piano + vst

[06moca1]

to be honest, learning to read from the music sheet will enable you to play what you want instead of waiting for tutorials, also the sheet have markings which will show you when to use pedal, forte etc which is much better than tutorials

[elwoyku]

great!!!

[olipippocinque]

beau jeu mais quel mauvais goût ce piano electrique .......le massacre de la beautée ....

[ilovecheeriomix]

Any advice on playing the 11:6 notes and the 22:12 notes???

[TeQuiLLaXY]

@ilovecheeriomix Sure, just divide mathematical ;) 4th note on your left hand has to been played exactly in the middle between 6th and 7th note on your right hand.

1st left = 1st right

2nd left after 1 5/6 right

3rd left after 3 2/3 right

4th left after 5 1/2 right (exactly the middle between 6th and 7th note)

5th left after 7 1/3 right

6th left after 9 1/6 right

Just practise this really really slow and increase the tempo slowly, then i shouldn't be a big problem

[ilovecheeriomix]

@TeQuiLLaXY that totally helped, thank you! I haven't been able to completely get that part down yet, but I'm almost there now :)

[KrzysztofStasiuk]

...his music heals all wounds...

[whatev12987]

I'm tryin to learn this song, so can you move the camera next time so I can see which notes you're playing better?

[elwoyku]

@whatev12987 try to read the notes maybe?

[whatev12987]

@elwoyku I meant as in have the different notes show up in an animation as he plays them. An audio-visual connection allows much easier learning of music than from sheet music.

[TeQuiLLaXY]

@whatev12987 I don't think its easier to learn a piece when you see someone is playing it. It's much easier for me to play from sheets than to look at someones tutorial on youtube, i think it can play it ten times faster when practising with sheets.

[CAKECAKELAI]

You shoot well. The tweedle is also very good. Ask that your piano is any sign and the model

[TeQuiLLaXY]

@pianoland Why do you think so? Actually at 0:55 is missing note which can be heard and seen

[pianoland]

@TeQuiLLaXY too perfect to be true..........but if it is real (which, ok, it is) wow the person who plays is doubtless a professional.

[TeQuiLLaXY]

@pianoland Thanks, but actually i don't really like this performance anymore ;) I haven't played this piece for a long time, maybe i'll practise it again and record a new version, i remeber that it was much fun to play it...

[Martel211996]

What an amazing digital! it sounds EXACTLY like a model D steinway! with the acoustics and everything, i am amazed!! how much did this cost?

[grabagoodone]

Your playing changed my opinion on digital piano completely. That's must be an expensive one.

Your playing is so good, Crystal clean!

[thesix107]

That's crazy it's a digital piano. I didn't know they made them to look like real pianos too! Usually you can tell cause the sound is so synthetic, but this one's so realistic. Pretty cool.

[TeQuiLLaXY]

The Sound is rendered by Steinbergs The Grand 2 on my computer while playing. As soon as i find the time i will re-record this piece with the newer version, The Grand 3, just to show the difference. The soundquality is much better in the newer version.

[wolfdoglizard]

Super! Excellent! Bravo!

[ness688]

I think you have expressed the passion well , I wish I had your talent . Ive spent years trying and just cant get it , well done you

[KrzysztofStasiuk]

Really not bad, however a few mistakes like uneven tempo. But I hear what i"d like to hear besides the mistakes, I hear Chopin...

[illansolomon7414333]

dude you should use just a bit more pedal, and play more softly, it is a soft piece and most of it is in "piano" tone, so i think you should improve it, but besides all that, it was awesome man!

[prismguard]

@illansolomon7414333 If he'd used more pedal, it would've been soup.

[ecotuvoz]

from 0:17 to 0:32 is my favorite part

[nicrochenov]

well, yeah, obviously a real piano is preferable but compared to the piece of junk piano I have that piano is great.

[nicrochenov]

damnnn that's a great piano, i love the sound. oh and good playing too man.

[freakforfish]

Actually, electric pianos suck for this type of music, that's probably why he sucks so bad at this song.

[gradius55]

what edition do you use for chopin?

[TheDirtyPervert09]

hot

[chopin4evr]

I am thinking to purchase a keyboard and to get into world of digital.What type of computer and memory do you advice in order to play a VST instrument and create orchestration.Thanks...

[TeQuiLLaXY]

Take a look at my Youtube-profile, theres a list of my equipment. In order to play the VST in realtime you need a good audio interface with fast drivers or you'll have too much latency while playing. At the moment i'm always using all components of my second configuration (except the piano and the microphones ;) ) and i've upgraded to "The Grand III".

[chopin4evr]

What's the brand and model of your piano?It has a gorgeous sound.thanks...

[TeQuiLLaXY]

It's a Yamaha CLP-990 but the sound is rendered by "The Grand II" by Steinberg (VST instrument) running on my computer...

[BillyTheAlienVideo]

BRAVO! Absolutely beautiful. Just great.

[triplebig]

Very beautiful interpretation

I am practicing this piece and I must say, very nice rhythm, it is taking me quite a long time to get the rhythm correct for both hands.

I still have lot's of ground to cover though, I'm still in the second page (padarevski) . I will be using this video for reference, thanks for posting!

[cristiancavs]

is a beautiful piece..

[mentecapto10]

bravo!

[derus00]

bravo c'est magnifique.....

[SeanTheDiscoNinja]

I like this interpretation. It's always good to find people at home playing pieces nicely, nice break from seeing the modern prodigies all the time.

Your digital piano sounds really nice...I couldn't stop mine from sounding at least mezzo forte.

I think you played it a little fast, and there were a couple of mistakes, but nothing bad.

I really enjoyed this video.

keep posting.

[waddellbele]

I falling in love with this song while playing Phantom Dust on Xbox. Beautiful.

[3screamingkids]

Electric pianos can mask feeling. I thought it was great. Perhaps cancerandintoxication wants to see some tears falling from your eyes.

[freakforfish]

Ehhhh Yeah. I understand that electric pianos can mask feeling, but I feel like he ruins it anyways. If you look at 1:28-1:34 he not only ruins the first entrance into D flat major, but he ruins the contrasting B-flat (Written as forte, you played the same way you played the rest of the "ppp" part). as well. The dynamic here is ppp and he actually plays it louder than previously (which was pp). Just some constructive criticism :P.

[CigarettesAndWine]

No feeling. Chopin is all about giving soul to the piece and I didn't feel that you did so. You're also playing it too fast. Particularly in this piece, sensing every note is the key to a good interpretation.

[matthew1722]

He's actually playing at the right pace, maybe a shade slower than many professional recordings I've heard. It's similar to the speed I play it , depending how I feel at the time. The tempo indication for this piece is Allegretto.

allegretto: a little lively, moderately fast

[CalvinMera7]

One of my favorite songs by Chopin, well done.

[gradius55]

So elegant and beautiful. Question - In the beginning when you have 11 notes to 6 or 22 to 12, which notes connect in the left and right hand?

[TeQuiLLaXY]

Thanks. To your question: When you have 11 to 6, only the 1st notes connect both hands. It's a little bit tricky at the beginning. If you calculate it, you would have to play 11/6 notes from the right hand for every note on the left hand, so the 2nd note on the left hand should be played a little bit before the 3rd on the right hand.

[TeQuiLLaXY]

A hint:The 4th note on the right hand should be played exactly in the middle between the 5th and 6th on the right hand.22 to 12 is played the same,just 2 times in series.

[klavierspielerin83]

you are playing on a digital piano no?? For that it sounds absoluty beautiful! i would now take to to a real pinao.

[TeQuiLLaXY]

Hi.

Yes it has been played on a digital piano, but it was connected to a vst instrument via midi-interface to improve sound quality. Unfortunately i had no real piano in my apartment when i recorded the video ;)

[lalijew]

göttlich!

[felix0911176727]

You owned this nocturne.

[frynki]

beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

[sofiaclassic91]

Very good! Keep up the good work! sofia

[simaomorant]

Beautiful!!!

[g88med]

Nice!

[raamsis]

2:58 OMG! LOL!

Bit too hard

[talapuchitos927]

If you had played it in a non electric piano, it would have been PERFECT, really nice!

[Dorelliun]

I love this piece. Well played.

[nasirice]

amazing..

how long did you practice this piece?

[antonvangrendel]

yes...someone playing this one with some balls

[salamence47]

your lucky,,,

you know how to play this piece...

[Evikeu]

hes not lucky, he just practiced. go practice now, and you'll know it very soon and impress many people with this beautiful piece. nicely played. God bless. :)

[Chickenbaru]

This is actually much easier than many of Chopin's other pieces. Not that that makes it any less beautiful, of course. Well played!

[rosefillio]

Chopin's nocturne op9no2 is much more easier than this.

[Floido]

too fast, not enough rubato

[magicalkaj]

so what if it's electric? it obviously sounds good and does the job well! It's just personal preference and that was a good interpretation! :)

[etude12]

i had a Roland electric pno- needed to take piano with me to some performances- and, now that ive been practicing on my new grand (yay!!!)and I went back to it, I was amazed at how light and insipid the touch is. Also, electrics will never match in resonance to any real piano

[xxuann]

can't u all see? its an electronic piano. the sounds produced are totally digitalised. blokes with shallow pockets go for such ind. personally i would rather go for a common upright grand rather than such shit.

[ashiouji]

wow you don't know what you're talking about. Theres no such thing as an upright grand piano, idiot.

[VivaChihuahua]

wow..what a great musician u r!!

[nickyXrepublic]

Your piano really does sound really good. I'm jealous. How old is it?

[bacaste]

Wow...That piano sounds so good. So does the music! Great job. This is the best interpretation ive seen yet. How long did it take you to learn this piece? I just finished op72 no1.

[GooseGoddessS]

you naled this one!

best I've heard in a long long time

[RomanEmpress]

oh... sh+... how ... can I make my hand jump down those notes *sad*

[jecian1978]

Your piano has the most beautiful tone... What brand of piano is it?

[3francis]

whats the best way to practice those runs in the beginning? The part where it has the number 11 and 22 over the notes.

[nickyXrepublic]

The way I practice them is to break them up into like thirds (I was doing that on this piece yesterday) and do them slowly, and then gradually faster. And then put them together. :)

[misssxabbeyxrae]

I think this is pretty good. Then again, I think most peices I hear are pretty good...<.<;; I could listen to this for hours, though. I love it when people play the piano...it helps me calm down, and this helped me calm down today. :] Yet again, good job!

[TimeShadow1987]

I think, its pretty good performed. I watched some youtube videos. And your style, I mean I would it play like yours. Well done

[AsharpG]

I'm no expert, but this is one of my favorite pieces when played with greater comprehension and interpretation. I also find it to be a particularly emotional, atmospheric, and delicate composition. I know this is more difficult than it sounds, but try to "feel" the music, rather than just playing the notes. Watch the dynamics as well. Overall, you have a lot of potential. I would love to hear you play this again sometime after a bit more practice. Keep up the good work :)

[Muckilove]

I´m playing this as well, but I´m playing it very much slower.

[blueyoyi]

Sweet!!!

[StaffBerlin]

Amazing. Man, you have talent.

See you at C.H.

[dlongmu]

ah to hell with it, bloody good effort there!! sod the criticism, you play like you know how you want it to come across!

[meneltar]

A bit childish in certain aspects, sometimes destroying the character of the piece. I recommed you hear some recordings(by Alfred Cortot, Rubinstein, Maria João Pires and Guiomar Novaes) and think about the music in other way. Not only the notes, but the meaning of them, and harmonies, and atmospheres and all the colours between the dynamics.

[glupie0imie]

Agree :(

With such instrument you could do better.

[Scotty0011]

do you play the piano?

[aznricejedi]

well said scotty

[Scotty0011]

lol. thank you :)

[dodgie6969]

Isn't that obvious?

[Scotty0011]

oh no no I was talking to meneltar.

[halamano]

too mechanic. Hammer like touché. Could be better.

[Dunskle]

Awesome!

How long time did you need for play this nocturne?

[TeQuiLLaXY]

Thanks. It must have been about 4 weeks for first. Then i put on hold for a year and practised one week before this recording.

[OmnioSolTempera]
