Nocturne #18 (Chopin)

A better version of this piece has been uploaded to:

Possibly my favourite of Chopin's nocturnes; one of his last works. In the middle section of this piece I feel he starts to integrate his love of Baroque music (Bach) with his own style. Such a shame he died so young.

You've add a magic un-Polish un-French-like spirit to this piece, which reveals another beautiful side of it (that's what my wife Riva from Babejuda's channel said about your interpretation). Brava!

That's one of the nicest comments I've every had on my videos; thank you! :-)

I hope you will have a listen to a more recent recording I made of this piece; it has better sound quality and is also being played on a full concert grand.

Wow Kami. Another great rendition. I've told my kids about you and they are now listening. More Chopin please! :)

[Kamibambiraptor]

Thank you! It's cool that your kids like classical music. I'll see about more Chopin. ;)

Thank you! This has been my favourite of Chopin's nocturnes for over 20 years. :)

(And choosy pianists prefer Chopin. ;) )

I have a friend who first introduced me to Chopin; she's a fan. She's also a pianist, and a voice major, and a good artist, and... wonderful person all around. Back to the subject at hand, this is another beautifully done piece, both by yourself and Chopin.

It's been handy on a number of occasions where I otherwise wouldn't have known what on earth someone was saying about my video. :)
