    I’ve always enjoyed a pianists playing complicated music in any venue malls, airports or concert halls. Granted the sound is completely different when comparing an airport then say the Disney concert hall. Music is the gateway to your heart and soul it’s priceless and unforgettably nourishes our understanding of gods influences in our everyday life. Listen up folks don’t miss out on some very talented individuals.

      "żal" was the word. Indeed it has a somewhat broader meaning and can encompass "sorrow", "sadness", "longing", "grief", "yearning", "remorse", etc.. AFAIK Chopin did miss Poland and this nocturne sounds like many evenings spent in a familiar, yet unfamiliar country, and being homesick.

      It's a funny thing you say about not easy. I am learning Chopin's Nocturne in c minor posthumus. It looks so very easy and this music is anything but easy. I find the beauty of the voicings and melodies emotionally distracting as I lose my mind in them sometimes. It is very demanding to play.

    I've been listening to Chopin for 2 days straight on Apple Music. It's my fav. composer and Claude Debussy! Most of these musicians starved to death and became famous after. Being a musician is THE most novel profession. Most of them have to do something else to survive and it's tougher when you have a family to feed.

    You could tell by the little scale he played at 2:14 that he would be pretty good. But that polyrhythmic passage in the opening section of the nocturne threw him a bit. Hard to play an odd number of notes over an even number in the baseline and make it sound free and natural. He’s Very musical. He was probably a fine jazz and pop player back in the day.

    Absolutely gripping! Some years ago, one of the great violinists (sorry!) set up in a New York subway. I will never forget the busy mom who dragged her little girl along who GOT it! So sad! My measure for all piano is Glenn Gould, who may be the spiritual opposite of "romantic" Chopin. But if "Goldberg Variations" comes on some broadcast somewhere, no matter background noise or circumstances, I will sit up and listen: that's Glenn Gould!
