Chopin - Nocturne op.9 No.2 REACTION

[@matthansen758]

If you want more dreamy classical I recommend Claude Debussy, he is so relaxing. Clair de Lune, Reverie and Arabesque No. 1 (Ciccolini) are magical and timeless.

[@hollyodell4012]

I also recommend Clair de Lune.

[@6DogNight]

Magical and dreamy are two wonderful words to describe Clair de Lune!

[@trinasp]

Yes! Debussy!

[@randiarikstad4752]

VIVALDI, 4 seasons, I am in my last

[@wendilandkammer8368]

I remember the first time I heard Reverie. It took my breath away. Debussy's music is exquisite.

[@soleamici2757]

You felt the music when you closed the eyes. Many others who make music reaction clips want to impress with coolness and don't really listen. You are cool because you listen.

[@dmcvegan1963]

No need to apologize for pressing "pause." This is a reaction video. I, for one, want to hear your reaction.

[@shampoocampus]

YES,

[@guibix]

Yes. I feel very good hearing this beautiful song. But I feel very much better watching you reacting to it.

[@davetourle4250]

Exactly, we are here for the reaction as much as the song.

[@snowfire5050]

This music is not so much about "talk" it's more about "feel". You just have to let the music take you where it will. Enjoy your journey, my young friend. It is GLORIOUS.

[@yo6285]

also as a pianist, I think it's also about thinking in my personal opinion. Because there's so lyrics telling you what the piece is about. Often, I think about things when listening to classical music, like a specific story, situation or idk a man guiding through life, it really adds a lot more meaning to me. I feel like I can connect to the composer in some ways!

[@marymargaretmoore9034]

Pronounced "SHO-PAN." I love it that you're getting into some classical music. btw, that's a Van Gogh painting called "Starry Night." Hang in there, James. It's a hard time for everybody. Listening to this music is soothing for the soul.

[@dionnecoburn134]

Speaking of Starry Night, he should react to Don McLean's Vincent (Van Gogh)...

[@angelaryssa]

I am a music teacher and I love watching the music touch your heart. You're the real deal. I'm vibing with you! Thanks for making my day better! I have some recommendations. You want passion? Ok. Beethoven's Symphony #7, 2nd movement. He takes you from desperation to hope and back through it again. Next: "Adagio for Strings" by Samuel Barber. Watch out. You will cry. Then: "O Fortuna" from Carmina Burana by Carl Orff. YES!!!

[@laurenmckee9623]

I took piano lessons all through school and Chopin was always my teacher’s favorite composer. If you’re looking for stress and anxiety relief, try Clair de Lune composed by Claude Debussy.

[@frankwagner6020]

This is my mellow out song, for when work gets hectic. I find Chopin is far too often overlooked for Mozart and Beethoven by new classical listeners. Nice choice!

[@lizvlx]

because it is not classical music. this is romantic music.

@SUCKRPUNCHED no nein njet - i dont know where u learnt that but that is so not correct, u made me giggle :D --- i mean - impressionism & 12tone also classical? i mean where does ist stop? or baroque also? so many quesitons :D

[@lindaeasley4336]

Op 10 n 3 by Chopin I think is his most beautiful .It is said that he considered it his most beautiful composition. Composed in 1832

[@pianoman1857]

Not sure if chopin thought that, but Liszt said he would have given 10 years of life in exchange of finding a such beautiful thema :)

[@bradjbourgeois73]

My stepson is a classically trained pianist, Chopin is his favorite. Love listening to him play.

[@joehuenke3154]

The painting is by Van Gogh. You should visit an art museum when they start to open up again. It's a wonderful experience to see great works of art up close and personal.

[@kanadiankandy6647]

Joe Huenke the Louvre has a virtual site up right now and a lot of museums are doing virtual visits during the pandemic so people can at least still see the art. Nothing like walking through the peacefulness of museums though and the beauty of art in real life ❤️

[@catbutte4770]

When I was taking ballet, my instructor would play this when we did our barre exercises. 💜💜 And it's good that this music eases your mind. Don't worry about pressing pause. If people don't like it, they can find it on KZbin and listen to it themselves. 💜

Correction.Some Americans pronounce it wrong. I dont. And here's a little tidbit for you.The name “Van Gogh” has three proper pronunciations in American English, according to most standard dictionaries: van-GOH (the most common), van-GOKH, and van-KHOKH (which comes closest to the Dutch).

A few recommendations: Erik Satie (pronounced Sah-tee), 'Gymnopedie nr. 1' and 'Gnossienne nr. 1'. Both are haunting, melancholic and addictively beautiful. Edvard Grieg (pron. Gree-gh), 'Morning Mood'. One of the loveliest, brightest pieces ever written.

[@sueflynn9886]

Eric Satie is wonderful! 💖💕

[@frankwagner6020]

I put Gymnopedie 1-3 on a loop. I have been known to listen to that for hours! Def in my top 10 all time! 👍🏼

[@traindriva]

Shit yes! Like thousands of others I too play this..

[@shacharh5470]

There are many other good pieces by Satie. His nocturnes are good, also his "cold pieces" (pièces froides) are excellent.

[@daphneestes8694]

Oh, geez, does this bring back memories. I had to play this piece at a piano recital when I was 16. A bit sad that I have not touched a piano since I was 22 (now 60). This inspires me to get a keyboard to start it up again.

[@donaldthatcher1372]

Please, please, please give it another go. Not for me, not for anybody else but for yourself. Nobody has ever regretted trying the piano - plenty of people regret not picking it back up!

[@karaminalee]

Speaking for myself, I love your pauses during the music. To hear your thoughts as well as seeing your visible reactions is a true joy!

[@karaminalee]

Remember how excited you were when Meat Loaf reacted to your video? That’s me now getting a ❤️ from you on my comment.

[@dalebaker9109]

We love you so much.keep going son. I love so much music, past and modern, but classical aways drags me back. It's so special, can't quite put it into words.

[@BettyHorn]

Chopin is one of my favorites. My mother was a concert pianist many years ago (she's been gone for 50) and I grew up listening to her play all the greats. Thank you for the tender memories.

[@offtheair3405]

As someone said below the picture you have up is called “Starry, Starry Night” A painting by Vincent van Gogh. There’s also a song by the same name about Vincent van Gogh by Don McLean. Is the same fellow who sang American Pie. You might want to check it out. It’s a great song. About a man who is very talented but suffered from depression and other mental problems. He really wasn’t meant to be in this world he was beyond the average human.

[@OriginalLictre]

Actually, the title of the Don McLean song is "Vincent", many people just call it "Starry, Starry Night", since that's the beginning of the lyrics.

[@joelliebler5690]

Off The Air Great song among many by Don.

[@KRISTOFOROS333]

Fryderyk Chopin was born in Poland and lived in Poland until the age of 21, later he went to Paris and lived there until his premature death at the age of 39. His father was French. He is a musical genius, the most-valued Polish composer in the world. Every 5 years, prestigious Chopin Competitions are organized in Poland, known all over the world. Their winners always make a global career. Best regards from Poland:)

James, music has the power to make royalty of all of us. As a classically trained pianist, I was deeply moved by your pure reactions to one of my favorite pieces. I’ve been privileged to be introduced to and moved by modern music of all genre by my kids. I could have my coffee and Spotify playlist by myself every morning. I much prefer your diverse videos now. I wish you all the joy and magic in life you derive from music.

[@drrenesam]

I remember learning and playing this classical piece when i was in second year high school, This became my signature piece whenever i would be asked to play. Life was so much simpler and happier back then, before all the losses that have come to pass. But there is a reason for everything, and so i think we should hold on to an open-ended hope as long as we continue to breathe..

[@L4AH4N1889]

Chopin wrote to the girl he loved: "I tell the piano what I want to tell you." He vents to the pieces he composes and plays his pain of loneliness and longing to see his homeland Poland again whic he never could till his early death in 1849 because of the war.

[@fabianafran927]

I have learned that classical music has a high level of vibration, it goes directly to our brain in a good way, that´s why we feel so good when we listen to them! This one is my favourite, congratulations to your reaction!

[@vicklet6253]

My favorite is Prokofiev Piano Concerto #2. I believe it is a total of 4 movements. I think you would be awed by it.

[@calme-dx2dp]

So relaxing... I listen to the classicals when I can't sleep.

[@DuffAgainstPoaching]

Likewise, it soothes the soul and calms the mind. I've been listening to classical music to fall asleep since I was 8 years old. 22 years a fantastic music as a result. And you can listen to the same melody over and over and never get tired of it, ever.

[@nemosays6337]

The music shows you a small slice of heaven, vibrations are integral to our sense of being.

[@cnatview]

I worked in an office and I covered work details for another woman that worked with me. She had a radio on her desk and whenever I'd cover for her, I'd play classical music on her radio. She'd come back to work after her time off and she'd turn her radio on. She'd look at me and ask me how I could listen to classical music and not go to sleep? For me there wasn't any sleep.... like you said, it calms the mind and working with numbers with this soft music was the best way for me to do it. Thanks for your reaction, James. Take care and be well. Peace.

[@sharonwilson8208]

Grew up playing classical music on keyboards and stringed instruments. This is my favorite. I'm glad you enjoy it too.

[@hollyodell4012]

When I hear a piece like this, it feels like a good friend, who loves you, sitting you down when you're full of worry and talking sense to you. Easing your fears, reminding you of the good, hopeful things in your life, calming your worry, all done very kindly.... without using any words, all of those feelings are in the melody and the chords. When I was growing up there was a lot of "classical" music I listened to that kept me going, when everything seemed horrible it was like this voice of reason encouraging me not to give up. Reminding me that the world has beauty in it, and life has love in it, even if it felt far away at the time. Chopin, Mozart, Bach, Vivaldi, Debussy, plenty of others. Not sure how I would've made it to adulthood without them❤

[@adriel7540]

Beautiful, thank you for sharing.

[@asmaani74]

Chopin was born in Poland, in a Polish-French family. Due to political situation (Russian occupation) he, like many others had to flee the country. He was a refugee and he never stopped missing Poland, country of his childhood and youth. Country he could never come back to. In his music you can hear his tears, as well as many inspirations he took from Polish traditional folk music

[@adriel7540]

I actually play a lot of Chopin nocturnes for my kids on their Alexa at night to help them sleep. It's the best music to unwind.

You are only one of two i follow here. Peace-Love.

[@landibear6509]

It's so cool that you are getting into this kind of music. I grew up poor too but had a music teacher in school that instead of doing the choir thing always, she would let us sit and for an entire hour have us close our eyes and listen to classical music or entire operas. It does make you forget momentarily about your problems. If you find this soothing, which it is, you should listen/react to Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. I put that on when I struggle to sleep.

[@ronaldmalcolm5609]

If you like this piece, I'd suggest Erik Satie's Gymnopedies and Gnossiennes. They're quite sedate and a reminiscent of a time when life was lived with more dignity and circumspection.

Pronounced- show-pan, Frederic Chopin was a polish composer, spent the latter part of his career in France. He wrote a lot of solo piano pieces, not a lot of full orchestra,opera kind of stuff. Chopin was a genius- anyone who took piano lessons knows “ chopsticks” that’s Chopin. If classical music moves you- Bach, Beethoven, Mozart- those 3 did it all. Lots of composers and artists historically were “ artist in residence” as per the royalty’s wishes. Great movie- Amadeus- about Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

[@morningstarborzoni5340]

hey, Welcome to another level of music that heals. I was playing Chopin (SHOW-pan), from an early age. You might listen to Berceuse - a lullaby. I was 12 and practiced 3 hours a day for 6 months. He was a very nervous performer, and his girl friend was George Sand(s?). I have been teaching music for (yikes!) 52 years... I started young. I love All genres of music. but, if you want to drain anything worrisome from your physicality, listen to Chopin, Debussy, Faure.... and of course the Angel that graces our planet, Angelina Jordan Astar. BTW, some of Chopin is intense... stick to Nocturnes... night music. I am so happy I found you. Hang in, bro. Your family is waiting for you 😊

[@aaronhaettenschwiller1626]

This piece was also sampled at the end of a song by Muse called "United States of Eurasia": they're very influenced by piano music. I would like to suggest also Rachmaninoff's "Prelude op. 23 No 5", which is also a piano composition. For other classical music, if you don't mind, I have to suggest Saint-Saens's "Aquarium" and, my personal favourite, "Danse Macabre". :) Take care, James!

Another great reaction JB. I have loved classical music and hi hop and rick since I was a teenager and for the same reason it soothed and helped me with stress, still does. My friends don't get it and think I'm a snob because I listen to it but who cares what other ppl think if it helps you and your not hurting anyone :-) I even bought a piano many years ago so I could play some of this for myself. 2020 is the 250 birthday of Beethoven maybe try a bit of his 6th symphony which is all about a walk through nature and very relaxing or the 2nd movement of his 5th piano concerto, again very relaxing.

[@penname5766]

JB, you HAVE to react to Rachmaninoff (sometimes spelled Rachmaninov). IMO, the greatest composer of all time. Start with his Piano Concerto No 2 in C Minor, Opus 18, Moderato. It will blow your mind. Here's a link, performed by the wonderfully gifted Chinese pianist Lang Lang: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m17bYWSamaxjrpY Also try his Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, 18th Variation (the last bit is important in order to get the correct movement). It is transcendental. Trust me, you won't regret it.

Hey, Chopin has beautiful music. Have you ever listened to Rachmaninov? "Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor, Op. 8." Part of this music is in Eric Carmen's "All By Myself," as well. Beethoven's "Fur Elise" is another beautiful composition. And, Debussy, "Claire d' Lune ?" Not sure I spelled properly. Well known, like "Moonlight Sonata," so you may have heard of it. Also, Ira and George Gershwin's, "Rhapsody in Blue" is also very beautiful. Enjoy your videos. Have a great evening!

So glad you did that man. Really cool to see a first time reaction to Chopin. Might I suggest reacting to Chopin nocturne op 62 no 1 by Daniil Trifinov, or maybe a nice peaceful jazz song by Michel Petrucciani called Rachid, and it would be awesome to see you react to Grateful Dead 'So Many Roads'. If you search it the best version is the first one that will show up from 7/9/95 the last show Jerry Garcia every played. There is some similarity between Jerry and Chopin. The heart ❤️, the feeling. Have a good day ☺️
