I always wanted to learn the folk and polish qualities and types of mazurkas, and It's very interesting to hear them from a Polish pianist! Thank you very much, I will be watching the rest of your lectures.

May I just say, everything you cover is essential and necessary. Your phrase by phrase in the moment this is happening approach is fantastic for focus and expression. What I also find to be one of the most important teaching tools you use is when you clap out the rhythms. It goes right to the brain in a way that is indelible, Thank you. It makes the dance intrinsic to the whole experience, Thank you.

[@gregniemczuk]

Thank you for watching and for this comment. I appreciate it so much!

An analytical and detailed introduction, as yours, Mo Niemczuk, makes this typical polish dance, full of polish soul, even more captivating! In my opinion, mazurka op6 no1, the first in the whole volume of Chopin mazurkas, is undoubtedly the one to enchant one's tender feelings and deep emotions, by introducing him in a unique three-part-way to the world of rare and everlasting beauties, reached only through masterpieces of art !!! Pure Magic !!! Thank you so much !!!

[@gregniemczuk]

Such beautiful words!! Thank you !!

[@alazikiz]

I am learning 2 sets of mazurkas now and these lessons are such a luck for me to learn, I am listening taking notes and trying to learn the most out of your videos, thank you so much🙏

[@gregniemczuk]

You have no idea how happy you made me with this comment. Good luck!

[@gregniemczuk]

I'm happy they are useful for musicians even though I mostly tried to address these videos to music lovers so I avoided using a very complicated language.

[@yahyamhirsi]

This is very very useful. Thank you, professor!!

[@kailarochelle6322]

Clarifying and illuminating. Makes me want to replay sections of so many Chopin pieces with a fresh ear and a much greater understanding. Thank you. You are saving Chopin s genius for those of us who never got to learn for whatever reasons. Thank you.😊🌞

[@helmavanderwindt3422]

Love your explenation, thanks! More understanding, so better and joyfull playing

[@bjb0808]

I love this insight into the music. It really opens up so many new worlds to me, not only of Chopin and your personal thoughts, but of dance and Poland's culture.

[@gregniemczuk]

Thank you!! I'm so happy to hear that from you

[@jp_charland]

Thank you maestro. I enjoy your lectures on pieces I currently learn

[@Yue117]

Your videos are so great, very good lessons. I just bought the book with all Chopin mazurkas. I love them. I can't afford a piano teacher so, thank you very much !

[@pb1105]

Bardzo ciekawie wyjaśniasz swoją interpretację, jestem bardzo wdzięczny za Twoją pracę. Cieszę się, że przypadkowo znalazłem Twój kanał!

[@gregniemczuk]

Dziękuję!!!! Polecam pozostałe odcinki. 😊

[@evoluti0n09]

Very good insight, it's very helpful to know the types of polish dances that the piece shows. Thank you!

[@gregniemczuk]

Thanks for watching! This was my very first episode of the huge COVID project with analyzing all Chopin's music for piano. Here I still had technical problems, later those videos became much better in quality. Thanks again!

[@BronekSuchanek]

Excellent!

[@alexandercarroll9707]

Love the high quality thumbnail nice lol

[@gregniemczuk]

I tried to change it because the original video has a Terrible quality because of the fact it was made at the beginning of the lockdown in 2020, so the deepest lockdown that we had. But I leave it as a memory of those terrible times

[@bigbosssauce7]

Thank you this is beautiful

[@rainqd1889]

im learning this right now, thank you so much! self taught is difficult so its great to have things like this helping me understand the music :)) I wish I could just get one big book detailing all of Chopin + his music, and story behind the music. Like the story behind his valse op 69 no 2// or events surrounding its creation.

[@Hastitutorial]

Omggggg i love youuuuuur videos and lectures these are alll sooo helpful and lovely.😍😍😍

[@gregniemczuk]

Thanks!!!

[@anitaershadi8126]

It was great👌🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@gregniemczuk]

Thanks!

[@seansmart2756]

What a treat! I really enjoyed this and now have your Mazurkas playlist. The little stories you tell (busy with the phone lol) brings a greater appreciation of the piece. Really great 😁

[@gregniemczuk]

Hahaha, thanks! This was my first episode! As you can see the setting is worse, probably the sound quality as well and I was in another room as well. The later you go the better it will get 😀

[@seansmart2756]

@@gregniemczuk I thought starting from the beginning and working my way though would be the right thing to do. You have given so much time! ❤️👍

[@gregniemczuk]

@@seansmart2756 wonderful!

[@RustyKloud]

Hi Greg, thank you for your wonderful video! Your analysis and deep personal connection to this music is absolutely breathtaking. Wonderfully played as well! I was wondering if you had any more insight or any material I could look into reading that talks more about Chopin referring to Mazurkas as his personal diary or if this is simply a general sentiment? I'm interesting in seeing some personal statements from Chopin himself if it's out there. Thank you!

[@gregniemczuk]

Hi! Of course. Try to look for books written by Mieczysław Tomaszewski. There should be English translations available.

[@rebeccaboehm2519]

Wonderful tutorial! Delightful to participate in this way! I enjoy the information- Chopin’s background, the music’s mood changes witnessed by the chord changes, and the tutorial on the dances! A specific question: how do you finger the grace note for the octaves in the “oberek” section?

[@DryMyTears]

I struggle to play the last part, thank you.

[@scottweaverphotovideo]

I can't tell which edition you are playing from. I have the original Paderewski editions. The fingerings are excellent. I expect the pedal markings are not Chopin's but Paderewski's? He mostly recommends lifting the pedal just before the third beat.

[@gregniemczuk]

I'm using Ekier. Probably it's Paderewski. But you can decide yourself what for you sounds better.

[@user-ie2wi7sp1d]

Maestro, guys) Could you help me please? This mazurka has the structure ABACA or АВА?

[@gregniemczuk]

ABACA or with repetitions: AABABACA

[@ministryofdressing]

Have you listened to this mazurka in a song form by Pauline Viardot ? the lyrics are beautiful !!!

[@gregniemczuk]

Oh I haven't!

[@chanhnguyen2215]

Talk too much .

[@gregniemczuk]

Sorry. These videos are mostly lectures. And it's the first video of the whole series of ALL Chopin's music,.so I had to talk more.

[@andremsz2249]

Well, it's an analysis, he's supposed to talk too much...

[@chanhnguyen2215]

@@andremsz2249: Yes it’s OK. Next time I must be patient , wake up, don’t sleep.Patience is a good character. Thank you.

[@andremsz2249]

@@chanhnguyen2215 also, greg is a very inteligent and cultured person, it's always a pleasure to listen to his abalysis. I think you would like it as well if you pay atention to what he has to say
