brilliant, this is the best classical piano channel i have ever had the pleasure of being subscribed to
Thanks! :)
Josh Wright and Paul Barton are much better tbh
Oh, shut up. How rude to come on one channel and say that some other channel(s) are better. TBH, you stink.
And you can't actually comment anything worth crap, snobbish troll. Get out of here and put up videos of yourself playing, pronouncing and spelling absolutely everything, perfectly. Or else just shut the heck up, troll.

this is not classical music....
I loved this piece so much that I learned it in 1 and 1/2 of a month during vacation. I was so determined and my best friend was always there to support me. Now it's her favorite piece and I am glad that I tried to learn this piece although I am not the best at piano
Awesome!
This analysis changed the way I perceive this composition! Op.9 no. 2 is one of my favourites. Loved the analysis! 👍
There was a production of Jane Eyre, I believe from 1997 or somewhere around that time, and when Jane was asked to play the piano, it was this nocturne that was played, though a simplified version. Since I watched that movie, I associate this piece with the character.
You should do an analysis of Listz's Un Sospiro. It's one of my favorites to perform and listen to!
Yeah... she will be brilliant for Liszt, but not for Chopin, sorry.

I think an analysis of the Mozart K545 Sonata would be great as it's usually the first sonata students learn. Great Video
Yeah but it's just scales and arpeggios really, there's not much to say.
Ah, but it's what he *does* with scales & arpeggios...
Really? First sonata I learned was was K.280 in F Major
"yeah, but its just scales and arpeggios, there's not much to say" ?????? dumbest thing i have read on youtube ever. go study some music and don't talk about mozart as if you knew something about music, lol
I learned Clementi' Sonatina no.3 and after the entire Moonlight Sonata...
The wonderful effect of the suspended/delayed tones is that it makes the piece come across as just a little halting, clumsy or bashful even though the actual timing required to give the right impression is so sensitive. It feels humble, friendly and endearing rather than exacting, austere and superior.
1:25 - brilliantly done, Allysia! Love it.
Years ago, I bought an entire book of Chopin music just for this piece. Because:
(A) I _really_ liked it; and
(B) I thought it was well within my ability to learn.
I thought at the time, that very little else in that collection was within my reach, apart from a few simpler pieces that I had already had, during my lessons.
Nevertheless, I managed to learn several pieces I thought impossible at first. But not all.
So thanks for singling out this wonderful composition!
PS. I've read that John Field preceded Chopin in writing Nocturnes, and may have influenced him. I have a music book with a Field Nocturne in B♭ major in 12/8 time; it's certainly interesting.
Thankyou indeed for this video. Although semi retired and a relative beginner at playing the piano, I wished I had known nore about the intricacies of Music theory in my younger days! I really became involved with the music of Chopin after seeing that outstanding, but harrowing 2002 film 'The Pianist', the story of Wladyslaw Szpilman' in World War 2. Thankyou again.
Excellent video! I don't know anything about music or music theory, but your videos help me get a better understanding of pieces that I love. I especially love when you cover Chopin, as he's my favorite composer.
That said, I do have a request, if you don't mind. I'll understand if you turn it down, as it's a long one. Chopin's Ballade No. 1 in G minor, Op. 23. It's my favorite Chopin piece, and I'd love to know more about it! If that's a no go, then an alternate request would be Chopin's "Raindrop" Prelude No. 15, Op. 28. If you could make a video about either one of them, I would greatly appreciate it, though I understand if you won't.
There's a lot of love for Chopin on RUclips, it seems! Which is fine because he's a favorite of mine as well. :) I've made note of your requests, I'm definitely not against doing any of his Ballades. They're long (like you said) and extremely complex, but that can be fun too!
I learned to play this song a few years ago and ever since then I’ve noticed it EVERYWHERE, it’s in like every other video essay on RUclips that I watch. I’ve also noticed the same thing after I learned Satie’s Gnossienne no. 1.
Brilliant! I have this piece on my music stand and it has been haunting me for four decades. I understand that Chopin had long narrow hands and very flexible fingers. I have hands that stretch an 11th and are wide. So off I go to Ravel and Rachmaninov ... but I still keep it on the stand... just in case one day I get it... I know there is no way me and Op 9 No.2 to fit... Op 25 No. 1 or 9 well that is a different thing but I respect anyone who can play this miniature. Such a lovely piece... thank you for sharing!
Hi. I just wanted to ask. How come you never play any of these songs? It would be nice if at the end of the video you showed video of yourself playing the song you are analyzing. i think all of us watching these videos would like to see it. It would be nice.
I just don't have the time. Most of these songs are fairly complicated (grade 9 level or beyond), and would take me a couple months or so of planning to nail down a flawless performance. And in truth, there are many excellent performers out there who do a great job, and I've never been an excellent performer.
I understand. It would just be cool to see you play something though. That's all.
G Money I do the tutorials!
@@PianotvNet whats the level of this nocturne?
Because my grandson learned It and he want to know If he is already on the intermediare level or If he stay a beginner
@@orestesdearaujo4681 henle level 5, RCM 9
Thank you! My morning RUclips journey ends with you. Technique, theory, and you said “waterfall”. I’m full up and headed to piano. Thank you for these histories and analyses! Love it!
Hey Great Video as always!
Could you make a video on voicing and polyphony? I remember struggling with the concept back when I was first introduced to it so I think it would be helpful to a lot of people if you explained how polyphony works and showed some methods ( playing each voice individually etc.) to improve at playing polyphonic pieces.
Good idea, thanks!
Great video, great channel and great teacher. When I started watching your videos I didn’t know (in the words of Chris Farley) “Jack Squat” about classical music (heck, I really didn’t know much about music in general) and now that I (kind of) understand it (thanks to you), I really enjoy it. I’ve watched several performances by my local symphony (St Louis Symphony Orchestra) and have been bitten by “the bug”. Thanks for sharing your musical knowledge, contagious enthusiasm and excellent hand/arm and elbow gestures! 😀
This is the best break down of a song I’ve ever heard
This song really encourages me to keep working on scales and technique so that I can work up to it and really perform the song not sloppy,but with emotion and power thanks for the video I liked watching it! I'm going to tell my teacher about your channel
Thanks!
Great analysis! I agree! Such an elegant piece
Not sure if you did already Chopins Nocturne Op. 20 in C# Minor, if not I would love to see an analysis of this piece or even better a tutorial how you would approach this awesome piece :) thanks!
I am so freaking subscribed to this channel. Your analysis of Chopin's Nocturne op. 9 no. 2 is just great! I learned a lot. Thank you.
HOLDS BACK. EXAXTLY.
thank you
Waltz in A minor anyone?
I'm learning this piece at the moment and I really enjoyed your analysis of it. Your video is really entertaining too - some good laughs. Keep it up!
Wonderful channel Allysia. Your beautiful efforts on these videos will be an integral part of my journey to greatness. Love it!
I thought Chopin’s most famous piece was funeral march .-.
Yeah me 2
I think there are several most famous pieces
I think an argument can be made for op 10 no. 3, and op 28 no. 15 too
Grazie mille La Maestra.
Can you make a video about beginner, intermediate and advanced song recommendations?
Thank you Allysia, I very much enjoyed this video!
I really prefer the No.1. Can you please do an analysis on that
a pleasure watching a different video of yours before i sleep daily :)
Thank you for the fun facts, perfect explanations, it's utterly important to pay attention to the structure and these subtleties, that make a learning process a lot easier and the end - more foreseeable. I love your channel, it inspires a lot.
Thank you so much for this video!!!!💕 I've learnt a lot and you saved my life for the music comparison essay😊
I would like a simplified arrangement of the piece, for I just beginning and when I am playing the piano and it starts to sound like the real piece I start to laugh. I am really a bluff in my sixties trying to learn new tricks.
But I have to consider that people in family live long lives and I may live to a hundred. Until there I will learn piano and compose some pieces of my own , hopefully, since I have already composed autumn leaves and a piece of a minuet just playing with the piano.
I like originality and Boadicea by Enya is a very strange song. I like it a lot.
Thank you a lot for your analysis.
I hope everything is well with you and your family.
It took me about 1 month to learn this Nocturne, and it was kinda easy. I'm 14 and it's really hard to play or learn some pieces because the piano I have is small. It has like 60 keys. My uncle (who taught me piano) moved out and took his piano so I was all sad :'(
EricTheGreat it's an easy piece, glad you got it down, but you should ask your parents for a piano since you obviously are invested into the piano already.
Harry Szaniszlo i try but they won't do anything about it
You can always look for used digital pianos for sale. Some are in tip toe shape! Trust me, switching from a 65 keyboard to an 88 digital piano is MAYOR improvement. My parents also thought I was fine with my keyboard but when I bought my piano they realised the difference. My mom was super surprised at how big my new piano was and of course the sound!
Op9 no1 b flat minor my favourite from chopin, 2 is also up there.
thank you :)
Great video! It definitely brings some insight to this piece
10:03 The B section does not cadence in C minor in m. 12. This is all part of a descending 5th sequence: G minor to C minor to F7 to Bb. Bb is the target and thus F7 - Bb the cadence, after which we have a chromatic transition back to Eb.
Awesome Videos, I would love to see you play some pieces :)
I play the tutorials! :)
Chopin Revolutionary etude
I would love to see an analysis of Beethoven Sonata No. 8 mvt. 1.
I refer to section A3, last measure. The piece is in 12/8 time, so one expects to see 12 beats per measure, with each beat designated by an 8th note. That is, four dotted quarter notes or four groups of three 8th notes, four groups of 6 16th notes, or four groups of 12 32nd notes, or some combination of the foregoing. In section A3, last measure, I see the first set of 3 8th notes, followed by 32nd notes, then comes a dotted quarter, which is equivalent to 3 8th notes. Then come another 3 8th notes. In the second group, comprising three beats, I would expect to see 12 32nd notes but I count 13 32nd notes. How does one distribute 13 32nd notes rhythmically in the time allotted? In my edition, I see a "3" below the last three 32nd notes in the group. Does that mean that the last 4 32nd notes are counted as if they were three 32nd notes? If so, that's the solution, but it seems odd that the last 4 32nd notes would be linked to the other 9, as that makes it look as if all the 32nd notes are equivalent in rhythmic value. A similar anomaly in rhythmic values appears in the last measure of section A4. The first 3-beat section consists of a 16th note, an 8th note a sixteenth note, a dotted sixteenth note and a 32nd note, all equivalent to 3 8th notes. a dotted half note occupies the last two groups of 3 beats. Then, would expect the second group of 3 beats to be occupied by, perhaps, 2 16th notes and 8 32nd notes, but it is occupied by 2 16th notes and 10 32nd notes. How do you reconcile that distribution of 32nd notes?
Eric Grosch You sound like my music theory teacher
Valentina Lisitsa plays this really well.

thank you! very helpful!
I hope I am not being presumptuous by asking for some advice, however, I would greatly appreciate a response from anyone erudite in piano pedagogy. I have been a student studying the saxophone for about 7 years now, and I have suffered some medical issues, which I will not digress on, that have given me good reason to put down the instrument at least for now. I have played the piano for 3 years and recently, for the past year and a half, studied it very sedulously. I need a teacher, but, at the moment, I am struggling to find one. I have recently learned Bach prelude and fugue no. 2 and the prelude of no.3 from book 1. My goals are to improve. What pieces should I study next. Is it that I should continue studying from the WTC? Or should I find specific pieces used in common pedagogy repertoire for the piano? Any advice and suggestions are welcome.
A cool analysis would be "Un Sospiro" by Franz Liszt. Though I'm not sure what cultural significance it's had besides being incredibly beautiful. Thanks for the upload!!
Love your videos!! Thank you!
Could you please PLEASE analyze Chopin's first ballade
Or
His op. 25 no. 11 etude?
Sorry op. 25 no.5
Thank you! Pls do more Chopin videos
It was also in one of the captain America movies I think...or the avengers I’m not sure but some marvel movie
You are amazing !
I just recently found this channel and have so far enjoyed it. Do you have any plans for an analysis on Chopin Polonaise Op53? One my favorite pieces by my all time favorite composer.
A nice and thorough study. One thought however; it's an increasing trend I see elsewhere with all manner of classical works, but this video describes the nocturne as a "song" just a little too often for my ear. Generally a song to me is something sung, something with words and, as often as not, something quick and lazy that's just to make money while being bubblegum for the ears. I can see the counter argument; this nocturne can indeed sing to us. However this video shows via a structural analysis that it isn't just a quickly thrown-together piece of forgettable generica, or what I would consider to be a basic song.
I love how Muse incorporates it into their dystopian rock song ^_^ a nocturne is suiting for the end of the world
Thank you! this is such a good analysis!
If you could please analyze Chopin's Waltz in A Minor I would be very grateful.
Which one? There are like 6
Just came back from the post office. Received 'Chopin's Complete Works' by Deutsche Grammophon. Fred is my favourite piano guy.
The piece used in the sound clips are actually played by Arthur Rubinstein which I imagine would be pretty close to how Chopin actually plays it
This nocturne also appears slightly distorted in Bioshock Infinite
Ruckzuck236 Do you have any idea about where? Bioshock was one of my favorite games
2inchfromtheground it appears in both DLCs when you enter the toy store. And it appears somewhere in the main game. I am not sure, but I think the first time you go through elizabeths portal
Wonderful analysis, and I'm glad I found your channel.
Signed, a former Motley Crue fan
NOT WEIRD
Can someone explain why people describe this song as “falling out of love in musical form” like it does sound like, but can anyone provide a clearer analysis?
Out of curiosity, why do you refer to neighbor tones (both complete and incomplete) as suspensions? I have yet to come across any school of thought that refers to a suspension in such a way. Do you have a source?
This video was so interesting and insightful; I really enjoyed it; you should do one for his first nocturne in b flat minor
Can you do an analysis of chopin nocturne in e minor?
awesome
Mazurka no.17 in B flat by Chopin
an analysis of the mephisto waltz would be great. It's a very frightning, nostalgic and beautyfull piece ;)
verry good ! Brazil loves !
okay, let's be honest, the thumbnail is absolutely amazing.
You are so funny! :D
It would be even better with more about the history of the piece, like what was going on in the composer's life at the time he wrote the piece...
Im currently studying the op48 no1 so if you could do an analysis of this song i would appreciate it
Hi, could you please do an analysis on Beethoven's Sonata No. 5 Op. 10 No. 1? It's not exactly that famous but it's one of my favorite pieces 😆
Please analyse Schubert's fruhlingstraume
I bought a piano at the age of 30 and this was the first piece of music I've learned, took me about a week :)
One week at age 30 as a complete beginner?
Could u do Danzas Argentinas no.2 by Ginastera
Yes. I just learned the third and second, and I am currentley learning the first. : )
hi! I'm 13 and have been playing for 8 years. I've played the fantasies impromptu and the black note etude... do you think I am capable of learning the winter wind etude? or will I go insane after the first 6 mesures 😂😂
Give it a try and see what happens!
pianoTV thanks! I will!
Oh gosh, seriously, I was in your position. DO NOT try to learn winter etude until you are a fair bit older. It's absolutely hellish. Feels horrible in the fingers... You might just make a mess of it, whereas you should probably invest your time in learning something easier really well.
Not trying to offend your skill, I respect that you are very good, but winter etude is probably THE hardest Chopin study.
Betta Nies im 13 too ayyyyy you should try the revolutionary etude first:) You'll be good enough:D don't worry about it, just play hehe
Betta Nies OMG YAYAYA WE'VE BOTH PLAYED BLACK KEYS ETUDEXDXDXDDDDD
I find the right hand very very easy but the left hand I’m doing something wrong and it’s not coming together
Analysis of his Ballade no 2
hi im doing my essay for my college task and doing a research with this composition and talking about interpretation can you help me to find some references, books, or articles about this composition? :) Thank you so much.
Great video! (:
He holds back... like in the Ocean Etude? Lol :) I think that's a good approach to this piece and would make sense for "night music" but I can't imagine that approach being applicable to his polonaises or scherzos. But how about Jeux d'eau? When it comes to memorizing, I use chord analysis to give me a mental framework, but I really struggle with this approach to this Ravel piece. I can see many normal chord progressions, but certain areas.. nope! I'd be interested to hear what you come up with. Thanks!
Yeah, Jeux d'eau is wild! I've had similar experiences with composers like Rachmaninoff, and the way I memorize in those spots is more on the ear/muscle memory side. If I can memorize the sound, my fingers can sort it out.
Does any one know what measure numbers the sections fall into?
Also, I would love a tutorial on this most famous Nocturne.
I think Moonlight Sonata would be fantastic to analyze.
Thank you:)
Goldberg variation Aria please!
Could you do a music analysis on Liszt’s Totentanz piano solo version please?
any particular pianists you suggest that play this piece?
@pianoTV At the end why did you not let the piece resolve?!? I about punched my screen when it suddenly cut off.
Dante40INC. You're so right. She never shows the final resolution to Eb.
Does anyone else see the frowning shadow next to the papers behind her at 1:35!?
You forgot tombstone where doc actually plays it in the movie
Could you do an analysis for Argentinian Dance No.3 by Ginastera
love the drunk friend analogy
Could you please Analyze Ave Maria By Franz Schubert??
Love watching these and the theory videos!
Also what pianos are in the background, thanks :)
The black electronic one is an ancient Technics keyboard that is starting to die (the brand doesn't even exist anymore), and the upright is a no-name acoustic piano that's been in my family about 100 years. :)
@pianoTV: If I stick with my lessons I plan to upgrade to a better digital piano than I have at the moment. Always admired the Yamaha's but I'm leaning toward Kawai now. Since you've finished grade 10 RCM are there any digitals that you've played on, or that you're thinking of getting, which satisfies your experience level? Just wondering. Thanks!
Walter B. Hey, I am also on the market for a new digital and am also leaning towards Kawai because of the hammer mechanism, counterbalancing, and longer keys than yamaha, i think. Great choices are the CS series im looking into the CS10 and CS11/8
David Garcia Hello again David. I've tested the Kawai models and other brands and I was underwhelmed. The only digital that really impressed me was the Yamaha N2 (and to a lesser extent the N1). They both have the same action found in their grand pianos. Beautiful instruments but I can't afford them at the moment.
Walter B. Thanks for the feedback. I have yet to try the cs11 for the dealer wont have it until next month apparently. Were you underwhelmed because of the sound or feel? Ive only tried the k200 which is comparable to the cs11, i suppose. The avant grand are way out of my budget as well.
If you dont mind me asking do you have another alternative and would u even compare the cs11 to an acoustic in anyway? Thanks again very helpful :)
I would love to see moonlight sonata third movement broken down it's probably my favorite song of all time
It's soooo good!
Muse ❤️
I think is most famous is heroic polonaise in a flat op 53
