Chopin's fifth nocturne is in A-B-A form, in 2/4 time. The first section, marked Larghetto, features an intricate, elaborately ornamental melody over an even quaver bass. The second section, labeled doppio movimento (double speed), resembles a scherzo with dotted quaver-semi quaver melody, semiquavers in a lower voice in the right hand, and large jumps in the bass. The final section is a shortened version of the first (14 bars rather than 24) with characteristic cadenzas and elaboration, finishing with an arpeggio on F♯ major, falling at first, then dying away.
Many consider this nocturne to be the best of the opus, stating that its musical maturity matches some of his later nocturnes.
Pianist Theodor Kullak remarked about this piece, "The return of the heavenly opening theme... touches (one) like a benediction."
Pugno, Rosenthal and Pachman are the most authentic recorded chopin players IMO
Pugno, my beloved.
Even the mighty Busoni has to bow to Pugno in this dreamlike conception ... one showered in pearls.
I need more recordings like this! Years ago I fell in love
Great ❤
Awesome
Romantic performances maybe were quite different from contemporary performances: the former can insert the performer's own variants while the other is not recommended to do that...
people used to play harmonic changes. now people play the score
Personally I find a bit excessive but nonetheless i can still appreciate it
Isn’t this the first existing Chopin recording?
when I read the date, I thought the same 🤔
I think the first ever would probably be Paul Pabst in 1895 but this is close, maybe the first chopin ever recorded commercially?
@@d_r_e_a_m_b_o_a_t Yeah probably. I'm only a passionate and not an expert so I'm not too sure, I'd like to hear the talk of an historical expert
