Refined sensibility, very Chopin-like. Very generous from you! Greetings from Brazil

[@m1k3br4v0]

Once again, a terrific analysis of the piece. I feel I am listening to Chopin for the first time again. Thank you, maestro.

[@nasimahmadian897]

So comprehensive and deep in every aspect of your analysis, as always! Thank you 🌹 I found your channel a month ago, and wish to tell you that I can't pass one single day without watching at least one or two of your analytical lecture videos of our dear Chopin! Not only the valuable knowledge but also the inspiration of how you proceed with them is highly motivating!

[@gregniemczuk]

hello dear Nasim. So happy to hear from you! Thank you so much! It's always a great joy for me to know that my videos are helpful and interesting for someone! Enjoy!!

[@esauponce9759]

Thank you for this!

[@Zaba_the_Dogling]

i think this piece is the most beautiful thing i have ever heard in my life. simply wonderful. as always, thank you so much for the incredible lecture.

[@gregniemczuk]

Thank you! I love it as well!

[@sampeng5216]

Another great analysis of Chopin's music. Thank you.

[@gregniemczuk]

Thank you!

[@davidlewis4013]

Your appreciation of this works is as beautiful as the piece itself 👏

[@gregniemczuk]

Thank you David!

[@timothyhayes8128]

You actually made me fall asleep when you played it at the end. I'm learning it myself and now I'm even more inspired.

[@gregniemczuk]

Hahahahahah, maybe I talked too much and you got tired. Good luck!

[@timothyhayes8128]

You never tire me with the talking! I certainly just had a long day that day

[@ElwynPiano]

Greg, your analyses have been great and helpful to watch. Your passion of Chopin's music is contagious, and I appreciate everything you do on your channel.

[@gregniemczuk]

Hello dear Elwyn. Thank you so much for being here!

[@user-xg9et2jv3n]

Thx for your enthousiastic explanations and play!

[@gregniemczuk]

My pleasure!

7:48 for further context the word “berceuse” in french comes from the word “berceau” meaning cradle (typically one mounted on rockers); also giving us the verb “bercer” translating to “to rock to sleep”

[@gregniemczuk]

Thank you!

[@elisamartini1694]

Thank you so much dear Greg for your wonderful video with the Berceuse from F. Chopin. Thank you for wanting everybody to know and understand his music. I can imagine a baby going to sleep with this beautiful melody : a mother singing to her baby or at the piano or as you explain it : A basket full of flowers and throwing the flowers in the air. Thank you for explaining the beauty in music.

[@benzandpour]

I’m looking for someone that does their OWN variations on this. But this was wonderful.

[@ichirofakename]

Actual analysis starts at 20:31.

[@sergiomandujano2771]

Amazing video! Thank you for helping me understand this piece that i love so much

[@goji5887]

Wonderful! I love that halfway through when you realize you _could_ end the video there, of course Greg takes it the step further and discusses every little variation. I love you for that, I feel like you're the only person on youtube that satisfies that depth of discussion, just so we can all nerd out on our favorite music.

[@gregniemczuk]

Thank you so much! Your comment made my day!

[@goji5887]

@@gregniemczuk aw, you're welcome! Keep doing your thing man!

[@ayakhemiri]

Your analyses are always so well explained, dziękuję!

[@gregniemczuk]

Thank you!

[@denaro572]

I just love listening to you talking about Chopin's music! I'm starting this piece now.. I have played some waltzes and the nocturne in e major so far.. It will be a tough challenge but for me it is the better choice over any etude right now. Also : I love listening to how you play because I can clearly notice that you fully enjoy Chopin's pieces and play them with all your heart! Great content!

[@gregniemczuk]

Thank you for watching and for your comment! I appreciate it. Good luck with the Berceuse!

[@memeguaia]

Thank you for the sincere yet great explanation and tutorial

[@gregniemczuk]

My pleasure! Thanks for watching

[@jgamez5023]

You are a fantastic teacher. Thank you very much !

[@gregniemczuk]

Thank you!

[@6266slim]

Thankyou again for the beautiful tutorial and making it come alive in my head! This is my 2nd time listening to this tutorial and it's the most enlightening and inspired tutorial on You Tube. My favourite versions of this are by Cortot, Kissin and yourself. It's my favourite Chopin gem cos everytime I play it I hear new voicing and resonances that are as you said "magical". ❤

[@gregniemczuk]

Thank you so much for your comment. I feel honored to be placed among those two MASTERS. it's a masterpiece. I've just recorded this on the CD which will be produced and announced soon!

[@6266slim]

@@gregniemczuk i will look out for that for sure

[@sparx1599]

Amazing video. My favourite version is the most recent one from Pollini on Deutsche Grammophon.

[@cottonseed19]

Not many pianists could play this piece well, even some great pianists, the most difficult piece.

[@gregniemczuk]

I agree with you!

[@delynndehardt1859]

I love it that you played this in a slower tempo. I just listened to 3 masters in a row play it at a faster rate and I must say I was disappointed. This is one of my favorite pieces and I think speed really ruins it.

[@gregniemczuk]

Thank you for this! I totally agree with you

[@piergiorgiotrillo3164]

Very interesting. I have finished It but ì am still having some troubles with variation n 9...expecially in the high sexties, that is very difficult to play fast and soft at the same time. I Guess this masterpiece takes some YEARS of full exercise to reach a good level!

[@gregniemczuk]

Indeed....

[@vripiatbuzoi9188]

I am confused where the variations start and end. The theme has 4 measures but you demarcated variation 1 with 5 measures and variation 2 with 3 measures neither of which are 4. Also the start of variation 2 is not anything like the start of the theme but more a continuation of variation 1 which seem to have an extended tail. I guess the rules are much looser.

[@gregniemczuk]

Yes! The first two are are kind of mixed but after that it gets clear!

[@kiralighto2573]

You are god

[@gregniemczuk]

Don't exaggerate..... Maybe Chopin was....

[@kiralighto2573]

@@gregniemczuk could you do a viedo on how to read sheet music. Am pretty good at playing piano comparing to my reading skills . I almost can't read mucis sheet too slow. Thanks
