Frédéric Chopin: Nocturne No.1, in B flat minor, Op. 9/1

[szopen010101]

I agree with NewtonBlog it was a bit fast as if you were a bit nervous but I loved to see you playing it on such a pretty instrument too. May I add that if you were nervous that nervousness gave it a sense of emotional authenticity if you know what I mean. Thanks for the upload.

GREAT! That interpretation reminds me exactly of how I played it when I learned it. It was like hearing myself play it. Loved it. :)

fast, but good

[miriettee]

Congratulations, good job. It´s not perfect, but you are better than me haha

[rietta]

Bravo

[DOMetallica]

I love it after you played it !!!

[DOMetallica]

Absolutely amazing don't listen to the complaints I think you played it ludicrously emotionally. Love it, I only liked this piece until you played it Amazing !!!

You have to work your fingers in left hand because the way you play so uncomfortable and not the way it play with the finger. Try 54321

You have to work your fingers in left hand because the way you play so uncomfortable and not the way it play with the finger, which you play

Le discours est assez mal conduit

Hi, this is really beautiful playing (: What grade would you say this is? I'm thinking for my A level practical, I'm way ahead of time but I want to learn the piece really well (:

[1992romee]

He, i also played this piece. I think you play it too fast. You should pay some more attention on the emotion of this piece.

[jimbothewimbo2]

wow that is such a beautaful song

[MartinaFromPoland]

why are you playing on Bela Bartok's original piano ? how that can be ? :D

[csutilla]

Miért kell azt a nyakatekert ujjrendet használni a balkézben?

[annagirlxoxo]

hmm.. one of the best! i love the b flat major of Frederic Chopin. also Igor Stravinsky too!

[1wiki1]

I don´t like this version,...sometimes it´s really too fast, sometimes too slow, big stop etc...

[pumpkingoth]

[pabcap68]

[revilo178]

[MargoSorelVarro]

Bravo :-)

[biancapinh]

very well done =]

[manalansanpaopao]

I like your face's expression! ;-) Nice playing.... keep it up!

[gradius55]

what notes connect at the beginning when you have 22 against 12 or 11 against 6?

[mmaarrccii]

actually the notes shouldn't connect anywhere, but to make it easier you can group the notes, the hole(11+22), under 2 eight notes, the following way: 3+5+3/4+4+3/3+5+3

[Atarien6]

you look like your in pain... too aggressive, tone it down in body and sound

[elixiress]

nah, i think thats the whole point of the piece...agony and pain.and he expresses it all too clearly

[3azifpiano]

COOOOOOOL LOVE IT !!

[hendrixchic]

Simply amazing!!

[Euclid34]

Nice job, but you could work on the left hand a bit. It needs to be much softer. Also, when you move your pinky and thumb for the octaves on the left hand, it looks a bit ugly.

But otherwise, keep up the good work. :]

[mmaarrccii]

totally agree!!! But Bartok's piano, as his music, isn't the gentlest thing in the world, so playing a smooth Chopin on it isn't exactly easy:-D, but I'll work on it :-)

[Euclid34]

True. I have a question on the fingering for the left hand: shouldn't it be 531351 for the first phrase in Bb minor, or something? I think it's more useful. :]

[mmaarrccii]

Well actually my score says 531213, but 312415 suited me better, somehow it was more natural for me;-)

[luneni]

maravilha!

[peckdec]

nice job

[tedhair11]
