He’s cute

[@Isa-tn7ex]

To answer the question at the start: his first attempt was his op. 72 no. 1, in E minor, written for his dead sister. He never published it because he never was satisfied with it. I think it’s lovely- it’s my favorite piece in the world actually. But ah well, composers are perfectionists 😔

[@WillsKeyboardSink]

That one is really beautiful!!! Thanks for the info :)

polyrhythms, the bane of every pianists existence. this is amazing!

Chopin gets me every time … and your performance made me tear up after 30 seconds. Some beautiful. Just discovered your videos and definitely gonna stay ✨

I mean for the whole piece obviously ahah

[@shirishapulijala6097]

It’s pieces like these that make me so glad I’m a musician.

[@konoha2955]

I love how you caption every phrases that you play, using your piano playing to communicate with us, writing out all the words to let us understand why this why that. Very considerate of u 👍🏻🥰

[@sampaguita_dew]

"this part is like warm sunlight on fresh sheets" this piece: is a nocturne all jokes aside, your playing is so emotionally rich, which i admire. i've been playing piano for 12 years, but i haven't really gotten into real classical/romantic era pieces until about 2 years ago. thank you for cultivating that interest with your playing :)

[@quinnweiss2998]

This is my favorite rendition of this nocturne now!

[@KitKattheFirst]

This was so fun to watch with the commentary and score! For the first time, I feel a bit glad I play violin instead of piano because of those polyrhythms o.o Looking forward to your content!

[@mateowinata182]

I've listened to this thing probably over 50 times now and it never gets old, actually inspired me to learn this piece as well

[@soap6441]

That commentary tho... 😂

[@woopass497]

I really like how much you express yourself while playing the piano it's really funny to watch

[@WillsKeyboardSink]

thanks :)))) it's really fun for me to express myself too!

[@4ss4ss1n5]

He's so good, practised sooo much that he's able to do it so clearly and so beautifully.

[@annahill987]

I just binged all your videos and cannot wait for the next! I cannot describe how incredible your playing is. Your accuracy is *chef's kiss*, and you pay all the pieces such due respect (I mean... Fur Elise is a special case). But I wish you the best of luck as a musician. If an album happens... yes.

[@supremetaco5349]

true. I would listen to his album if he ever posted.

[@TheStickCollector]

One of my favorite pieces

[@Crystal0662]

Songs have backgrounds to them this one sounds like a dark mood at first then it gets more bright and happy and this is why I like pianos

[@leamypi]

People who haven't read the sheet music: This piece is easy. The key signature and polyrhythms: ...

[@ckl5590]

Ahhhh. A lovely piano for a fantastic pianist. That’s how it should always be. Love your channel.

[@Torere]

I am currently studying this piece and all I cna say is that it's the most beautiful piece ever done by chopin, it has a mysterious "andante" and then an angry melody that turns into a calm one.

[@mariusgrimsland4241]

Wow I just played this piece not to long ago. I love your playing!

Hahhaha I’m feeling the same thing (btw he already has nocturne Op9 no2 on his channel)

[@paulmetdebbie447]

Very well played. But of course, if it were so simple, every one could duplicate what Chopin did. The fact that no one after him could, proves that it is unfathomable and unknowable what he did. Even to him. It was just divinity expressing itself through him because it could, he was the right channel. And so it happened and produced alll these divine sounds and structures.

[@neeltjekijktjoeptjoep7603]

Its super beautiful but i keep saying: you cant crescendo to con forza if youre already forte the whole time! Youre playing a grand piano with such a huge dynamic range, and all the signs are there on the sheet music. Use em! Exaggerate em! Stop trying not to be lang lang or whatever is holding you back, fek that guy and let us hear some real dynamic range and rubato’s, i know they are there in your head, let us hear em! ;)

[@dianebunk-kr5kv]

Who is this pianist. Will's background please. Magnificent

[@Bangaudaala]

I can still kind of see the connection inside the polirythms

[@EdgarNoumair]

My son was 5 years old when he played this

[@LucBoeren]

Great stuff! Hey so you seem pretty knowledgeable, I got a question: To what degree do you abide by the fingering presented here? My hands aren't enormous (and yours don't seem to be either) and there's many octave intervals such as 2:00 where Chopin asks us to play it with 1 and 3. I get that the hand moves more naturally to the other octave this way, but why force a legato when you got the pedal to cover you, does it really sound different? Thanks sorry maybe bit nitpicky question but it was driving me a bit crazy because at a certain point you just want to commit to one fingering, know what I mean? Anyway thanks a lot if you have time to respond

[@WillsKeyboardSink]

Hey! I pretty much ignore fingering markings unless I can't work out one on my own that feels good to me. A lot of the time the fingerings aren't from the composer anyway and are added in by the editor of that particular edition (if you buy different editions you may see different fingerings). My advice is just find whatever works for you and doesn't negatively affect the sound!

[@PhytonG1642]

What diffilcuty does this piece in? I would like to learn it next month. Also, what website did you visit to download the piece?

[@BreadBoi-0]

Probably imslp

[@blackpinkinyourareaaa7846]

it's so beautiful, i've tried playing it but it requires so much focus i'm still 1 minute in and one distraction and it's gone... Does anyone have the same issue?

[@Ivrin3]

Is it feasible to learn it within the first year of playing? I am trying really hard, but keeping my hands in control during that first polyrythm is impossible...

[@BrytenBao]

Very nice playing and very emotional, however I personally think that the contrast between the one P and the two P's could have been done better.

[@MezasRealm]

its not Rubinstein , but its very good ! omg !!! Nice performance

🤯

[@Jefferson4026]

friend, I have a question, I am transferring the score to musescore, the third bar I see is an eighth note oncillo, the problem is that if I put the half note first, the quarter note, the oncillo, at the end musescore gives me 2 quarter rests. what am I doing wrong?

[@Isuzu81]

Don't you feel like you added a tempo change to the middle part that wasn't written? And didn't you drag out the first 7 notes way longer than they should have been?

[@smichelin19]

4:43 B7 to Bb, really man?!
