Chopin Nocturne Op 9 No 1 Piano Tutorial (How to Play Lesson)

[@CodyHazelleMusic]

Great lesson! I almost decided to not learn the piece cause I thought "how the hell am I going to fit 11 notes in the span of 6 eighth notes... Crap I need an actual instructor for this" but your explanation of 8 16th notes plus an 8th note triplet makes so much sense! And then you just do that twice for the measure with 22 notes... It's brilliant.

[@PianoSecretsChannel]

Awesome! Glad to help. :)

[@pyrokinetikrlz]

godammit! I have search quite a bit how to play the 11:6 polyrhythm and there are many ways to "cheat" on it, but honestly the 8:4 + 3:2 sounds muuuch better! Thanks! Damn great tutorial!

[@redfishplayz4476]

Just Focus on the notes U Play together and the Rest comes automaticly

[@catshelley]

When Chopin wrote this piece, he really wanted an beautiful unevenness...

[@davidcastenholz597]

Far and away the best tutorial of this nocturne that I have seen. Most instructors tend to obfuscate; instead, you unlock the secrets of Chopin and make him very understandable. Thanks for a thorough treatment of this great work.

[@PianoSecretsChannel]

Thank you David!!! :)

I started learning the piano 4 months ago and this is the first piece I chose to learn and with your tutorial I have learned the first part of the nocturne and i feel so proud of myself and so grateful to you for these videos. The time and effort you put is absolutely insane. Thank you so much!

[@PianoSecretsChannel]

You are welcome!

[@Mannystrading]

You should post a progress video. I just got a keyboard & chose nocturne in C sharp minor as my first piece lol. Playing with two hands is hella hard.

@@PianoSecretsChannel the time and effort you put that the OP has pointed out has made so many lives better. We appreciate it very, very much

thank you for explaining that nightmare of a polyrhythm

Thank you so much this is one of my favorite nocturne. This made me understand polyrhythms

I agree, but I get so freaky melancholic with that sound , dunno why :'(

Brilliant lesson as always. This is priceless. I love the way you say , "and that's it that's all there is to it " as if it's really easy , I wish it was..

[@gbg3663]

So, was it? It's been five years now...

[@paulrhodesquinn]

Best explanation I've seen so far on how to match up the uneven notes in Chopin! Thanks so much for this awesome tutorial!

[@afrodite1832]

Started today to learn this piece and already stuck because of the 11 and 22 notes in bar 3 and 4.... Then this discovery on YT 😅.you made my day❤️thank you so much!

[@PianoVault]

I have to express my thanks for this really good tutorial! Just the right pace for a somewhat advanced player, not too slow, not too boring, well explained and it couldn't be better!

[@MrScottmac99]

Love it !! I'm 72 and I've spent two years learning this. I'm getting all the notes right now, but still a long way to go. My teacher told me that the fingering marked on the sheet music is there for a reason and I should pay attention to it, instead of doing it the way I wanted to .... so I did and that made a big difference. 🙂

[@PianoSecretsChannel]

You can do it!

[@d-ameir622]

This is another one of a fine, heartwarming, piece of music you rightly selected for equally a fine tutorial! Very compelling! Thank you! Much appreciated!

[@liamsisak1795]

[@PianoSecretsChannel]

Wow! Thank you.

[@louiseparis4754]

This is so awesome; I love Chopin’s music and have often fallen asleep listening to it ( because his music is so relaxing and beautiful. So one day I played the single notes on my husband’s keyboard and was thrilled that I was able to do this, and desired to play the piece in its entirety. Thanks so much, because I am more motivated to listen to play a piece I love, therefore eager to learn to play.

[@PianoSecretsChannel]

Glad you enjoy it!

Wonderful music and a very interesting video. Helped me with learning the nocturne and I particularly enjoyed the explanation of the harmonies Chopin uses.

[@GerardoPastorino]

great help to understand the measure of this sheet of music. Im translating it to the guitar, and was so hard to separate the notes of the melody over the bass lines. thanks a lot !!!

And again big thanks to you

[@ktobin7122]

This has been a great help, thank you. At 15:43 you mention a change in the usual order of notes for the left hand, but that change doesn’t appear on any notation I can find. I’ve looked at a dozen or more different published sheets. I’m inclined to trust you on this, but just curious where you’re getting that from? Thanks!

[@luishenriquevilela7001]

It's been 6 months since you asked this. I've just noticed this as well, I hope I get an answer! You just DON'T make these things up. I looked at a lot of other sheets (including Paderewski Edition, which is a highly reliable one) and that change doesn't appear...

[@gia.r03]

This is a great tutorial - though you're another pianist who misses the held left hand F's 20.38 in the final phrase of the first part! Small detail but it makes a difference to the sound and feeling.

[@PianoSecretsChannel]

Good point!

[@tigeruppercut3934]

Thanks for this. This one is so much tougher than op 9 no 2. Thanks to you I can finally play the first minute of this piece and am making progress every day. Chopin is by far my favorite and I appreciate the chord breakdowns. It’s genius how he flips chords and spreads the notes out.

Hey man, awesome tutorial!! I just have one question: In 15:44 you mention a change in the 11th measure of the score's progression (instead of the default Bb-F-Db-Bb-F-F, Chopin plays Bb-F-Db-Bb-F-F). However, in my music sheet, it doesn't show this change (it just keeps on the default). I've also checked on a video of Rubinstein playing this Nocturne, and in the sheet on the video, as well as the audio of him playing, it just sticks to the default. Do you have any reference of this change? Because I've looked it up (before really posting this comment) some other sheets of this Nocturne, and couldn't find this change. Of course, it doesn't mess with the whole purpose of the tutorial! Great tutorial, as I said! :) just wanted to know where this change came from! Haha PS: the sheet you provide in the description of the video does not do it as well.
