You could close your eyes and still know that this must be from Chopin. This man was just such unique of a composer, with a style which distinguishes him from every other composer in an incredibly special way
You need to know more works and composers, I present this work of which if you did not know that it was written by Carl Czerny you would say that it is Chopin ruclips.net/video/uSmXN_vTBNc/видео.html
classical music is my life, but i know nothing about piano, i want to learn how to play and read these masterpieces since so many years,i am literally depressed and i think learning will make me better, but i live in a small tiny town idk if i can find a place to learn in and i dont have a piano, also not rich enough to buy one i have things way more important, this will always be my dream, to be a pianist or to play music in general. I wish in a short time i could heal and be happy, wish yall happiness bc i believe we all deserve it.i talk a way too much but i dont have friends either. but i can really express myself while the music is on.
Oh man. I'm so sorry. You could always start with a small keyboard and video tutorials. It's not the ideal thing, but until certain level I think it's just okay.
i stronly, strongly relate to what you say. I'm always by my own, solitary, but always having a Chopin nocturne in my mind. Music, and especially Chopin's music, says the things that are buried within my soul. You could always learn some compositions if you dedicate time to it, i did :) try to find a chruch piano or something like that, or maybe your town has some sort of music school ? But trust me, once you find one, dedicate your heart and time to it and you could learn pieces. All it takes is passion for non-virtuosic pieces, and i know you have that passsion. At least we have this capacity to deeply feel it because trust me, some people cannot. So in a sense, even if we don't have people to talk to, there's always gonna be these immortal melodies to talk to us and to uncover our hidden feelings, speaking to us like the warmest of friends. Sending you lots of affection and, always keep listening to Chopin, my friend :)
Buy a 61 keys keyboard to start, they sell them for $100. Then get a method book like Alfred or Faber and follow it page after page. That will get you started.
a long time ago I decided to realise my dream of playing the piano despite not having one. I used the piano at school where i worked and found a teacher. The local collage was giving away old pianos so I got a free one! There are often people wanting rid of pianos so ask around and good luck. Free cycle can be good. Thirty years later I still enjoy playing and am about to tackle this piece so I need luck and dedication too.
I like Moravec's tempo, both the slow pace of the A section and the slightly faster tempo for the chorale. It's interesting that both the G Minor Nocturnes (this one and 15/3) both have chordal accompaniments instead of the usual arpeggiated ones, and both have hymn-like sections (this one in the middle, 15/3 at the end). Also those are probably the two easiest nocturnes technically.
I've seen many performances of this piece, and most people are playing it too fast overall with lack of character. Moravec's performance is by far the best. Someone I know played section B faster like in this video and scored a distinction for the ABRSM grade 8 exam. I don't think examiners wouldn't like this tempo for section B, if anything, it adds expression, and that's one of the criteria examiners are looking out for.
Elgar included the main theme of this Nocturne in his orchestral prelude "Polonia" Op 76 written in 1915. I suspect he liked everything about it, the tentative melody and the fact it is in g minor, his favourite key.
4:320:22 I miss the fortissimo and the forte respectively on these phrases. A lot of pianists miss this prhasing and I get very disappointed. But even so, the rest of the performance was beautiful. A beautiful job.
The bass is made too silent in this recording. Surely, Morvec showed the lines but the recording engineer put more emphasis treble. The wonderful chords in the left hand give good depth which is a good counterpoint to the singing right hand.
I have an old book of the nocturnes from 1898 and this one is marked as "Lento sostenuto" in there, so maybe it was an editorial change that took place down the line, but it's definitely not wrong
@@knelson3057 According to notes from Polish National urtext edition, the first published tempo mark was "Lento", then changed to "Lento sostenuto", then "Andante sostenuto" as instructed by composer himself. Most of the newer urtext versions use "Andante sostenuto" as it was what the composer meant in the end.
@@yangluo that's very interesting! im never one to doubt henle of course, but i just happened to have an older version. i'm glad there's records of this kind of thing
What does age do with how you play it? There's probably some 6 year old who play this better than a 30 year old. It's just how you feel the piece and play it

I like to think Tchaikovsky was inspired by both Nocturnes in this opus to write the June Barcarolle.

Hauntingly beautiful and one of my favorite Nocturnes to play.
Is it difficult?
@@SirVTropicno
@@SirVTropicbut if you wanna play as Moravec does, it will be quite challenging
@@omphaloscaeli ok thx!
@@SirVTropictechnically not but musicality yes. I am working on it.

Examiner will not like the tempo of section B,
@@ymk9738 Chopin himself intended the speed of section B in this nocturne to be faster.
I’m not doing this for an exam though, I’m doing Op.32/1 so…
Same thing with op.48 no 1 if you notice
But of course it's not the easiest technically or musically, it's the hardest if anything
But still with Freedom and Flow. Most students play this like their hands are sticking on to what their teachers taught them.
I've seen many performances of this piece, and most people are playing it too fast overall with lack of character. Moravec's performance is by far the best.

What a haunting melody. Beautiful.
exactly ❤
It sounds like a cousin of Nocturne 48 n 1
Chopin’s music is so beautiful ❤️
indeed❤
best version I hear so far ,I,m learning this ,this pianist is my model for sure.
mine too！😁
@@WinnieGengPiano you guys don't need to have a model for romantic pieces just learn the notes and play the way you feel it

The lyrics simply flows more languidly in his hands, and the chorale more hauntingly. This is the recording that convinces me to play this nocturne. ❤
Dynamics: "allow us to introduce ourselves"
Ivan Moravec: "I've never met these guys in my life"
0:55 this part is so gorgeous:')
Agreed! That little moment of happiness before it disappears as quickly as appears
My favorite Nocturne!
Love the Beethoven-esque chorale section. Chopin really liked Chorales.
A1 part 00:00 // B part 02:50 // A2 part 04:05
Is it harder then impromptu no. 4

The middle section is perfect for Theme and Variations!

Fortissimo, in almost always all cases with Chopin, is intended to be understated compared to, say, Fortissimo in Rachmaninoff.
I haven't heard many people play this nocturne, but it's certainly one of my favorites! I'm going to try to learn it:))
Thanks Chopin.
Sublime.

Zhou Carol how are you getting on?
This is level 9?
is this grade 8,it seems easy for gr 8.
It's grade 9 for me 🤣
B section almost reminds me of Liszt's sacred music

One Clear Example: 0:52 to 0:54
I mean I don’t but I don’t have headphones in so
I suspect that it is just Moravec humming while playing
Yes!!! Thank you!!! 1Nation4Life
Lovely performance, though I think the opening is just a touch too slow.
Chopin's Nocturnes can never be played too slow
It's perfect
That's because it is too slow, it's supposed to be andante not lento
0:24
The score’s tempo mark is wrong. Henle’s Urtext version has “Andante sostenuto” which is meant to be played very differently.
I have an old book of the nocturnes from 1898 and this one is marked as "Lento sostenuto" in there, so maybe it was an editorial change that took place down the line, but it's definitely not wrong

If i play this at age 12, is that bad or good? Because um- ik chopin is supposed to be flowy and students don’t usually do that so-
It's experience regardless and really you can't go wrong with that.
What does age do with how you play it? There's probably some 6 year old who play this better than a 30 year old. It's just how you feel the piece and play it

Melodya was the last piece he wrote. It was written 2 years before he died.
No, it isn't. It's not a song; either. It's a piece. In this case a Nocturne.
