Chopin's B Major nocturne from Opus 9 is not very well known and rarely performed. Even so, it is impossible to deny its lyrical beauty and the drama of its middle section, Agitato. I am 13 years old in this recording.
You are an excellent pianist. However, you are too young to play Chopin poetically well. At this age, maybe you can try to master Mozart or Bach, or even Beethoven.
Derek, you've got a good ear and phenomenal technique for your age. Work on the legato, especially on the right hand! When striking the key, try not to make it so sudden, but gradually ease into it. On the fast auxilliary passages (forgot the technical term), make it more sweeping than digital. In the middle section, put more power into it! ease into each note in melody with your body weight. Gesture always comes before accuracy. I'm a 17 year old amateur pianist; it was a pleasure hearing you!
BRAVO!!! Very Romantic Pianist!

this is excellent, but the maturity level needed for Chopin might be too high right now. But thank you for sharing

Beautiful playing!!! This is one of my favourite Chopin nocturnes, I've always wondered why it wasn't more popular...
