Chopin - Nocturne Op. 9 No. 2 (Piano)

Just me playing Nocturne Opus 9 Number 2 in Eb Major by Frederic Chopin. I tried to keep it from sounding overly happy since it's a nocturne, though with this particular piece it's easy to play it that way. I was going for more of a bittersweet feel this time around, though I'm not sure just how successful I was. In any case, I hope you enjoy!

Thanks for watching, please rate and comment. =)

nice playing man,does that piano have wooden white keys or plastic,is it well built piano good weight to it or light.

@paulallen34

Hi there. The key tops are plastic and I think the piano weighs around 50lbs but I'm not sure exactly. It seems very sturdy though, I've had it for a little over a year and haven't had any keys go out or become stuck.

good, just turn down the reverb a bit to make it sound more crisp, just my opinion. And maybe a bit more rubato throughout.

@Eric1029res

Thanks. You are absolutely correct, the reverb in many of my videos was way too high and it turned out I had the damper resonance cranked up, wish I could go back and change them. I've turned it down for my more recent videos (except for intentional cases like the Vangelis covers) and it's seemed to help.

Im thinking about getting the P155, how is the keyboard overall? Does the hammer action feel proper like an acoustic?

And a cool piece I recommend you try is Nocturne 48 no 1 in c minor for you next video.

@Eric1029res

I like it. The keys themselves aren't quite as responsive or supple as they are on many good acoustics, they're just a little on the heavy side IMO (doesn't seem to slow down Kyle Landry though, he plays really insane fast passages on his P-155). They are better than most digital pianos that I've tried. Though if it's possible I'd recommend finding a store where you can see for yourself.

As for the Nocturne, I really love that one but it's way out of my league. =P

@myg0Troll

Care to share the correct chords / notes then? What is your experience in this matter? Do you mean to tell me that Yundi Li and every other professional concert pianist is also playing it wrong? I am playing the exact same notes as they are (they have better technique and interpretation but that's another matter) and I didn't miss a single note in the entire recording. Of course you're trolling silly, you're the one that's starved for attention. Nice try though. ;)

I believe your username and channel comments speak for themselves. Have a good one.

You play it so lovely. I have been trying to play this for weeks now and only managed the first two lines. I have only been playing for a year and I am 52 do you reckon, with determination, it can be done? Cheers

Love it!

Would you say that in the price range, in your opinion, the P-155 is an excellent choice? I'm thinking of buying one.

[Mikau19]

Beautiful playing....

i'm a french beginner and have a P155 too, and i wanted to know, what settings did you use? and did the preset song and the thing about "right/left hand" of the piano help you practising?

i dream about playing this as well as you do.

[MrDurpaDurp2]
