  • Hello. I have enjoyed tremendously watching you play this piece. Are you currently teaching? If so, whereabouts do you teach?

  • @aliciajohn Thanks Alicia. I'm teaching just a little at the University of Melbourne.

  • bravo! bravo! encore! encore! truely inspiring, both to watch and listen. I read your book twice - such a beautiful way to honour Mrs Sivan - just as your playing does. I looked at your hands as i listened and thought of Mrs Sivan. what a teacher! what a student!. thank you for putting this up for us to enjoy.

  • @joannemirvine08 Many thanks Joanne for your kind remarks!

  • This is awesome. You are really good. I am using your book for a book report in 6th grade. It's really good. Don't ever give up on piano. You're really good. 

  • @KLFishel Thank you! Hope your book report is a great success.

  • I loved reading your book, I wish I could have a teacher like Mrs Sivan.

  • Dear anna, I think this piece is a poem by the great Chopin, beautifully recited by you, congratulations!!

    

  • Nicely played.

    Yundi Li and Valentina Lisitsa are two of my favorites on this, but this was also well played.

    What I notice with really good concert pianists is the note separation. Some such as Murray Perahia use technique that is close to staccato (but not staccato) to get a more pearly sound (The notes sound clearer with good spacing in note separation and no semi-ghost notes. The difference in articulation is minimal but noticable).

    Chopin composed this with an opera voice in mind.

  • She makes it look easy.

    

  • I love this nocturne...it's my favorite one and you play it very good!(:
