Your explanations are so wonderful that even a non pianist like me can understand everything under the hood . You and Chopin are made for each other.

[@gregniemczuk]

They are made ESPECIALLY for non musicians!!! ❤️

This tutorial was so helpful! I am currently studying this mazurka and a bunch of others and preparing it for a concert and your thoughtful and deep insight was very helpful! This entire series is really amazing. You’re giving so much valuable and useful knowledge out for free. You’re a very underrated channel and you deserve more attention. Keep up what you’re doing, I really appreciate it!

[@gregniemczuk]

Thank you very much! Good luck with your project. I really appreciate your words. I'm not worried for being underrated. I just want it to be useful for people like you! Thanks again, greetings from Poland!

What an amazing illuminating presentation. Great great work and playing.. The pacing is so interesting and the pedal work IS from the other world. Understanding Chopin s psychology, emotional states and references to other works of Chopin and explaining the expression as Chopin s speech and experience makes this tutorial exceptional and exemplary. Thank you so so much for doing justice to Chopin and this gorgeous Mazurka.

[@gregniemczuk]

Thank you so much!! I appreciate your comment!!!

Wonderful! I've been playing this mazurka for years, at an advanced amateur level. Fell in love with it via an old recording by Dinu Lipati. Played it earlier this year for a roomful of patients at a skilled nursing facility. Enthusiastic response. Thank you for giving me so many ideas. In addition to the analysis and imagination, the playing is terrific. Wish I had this level of talent, but wow I love the mazurkas.

Meastro, wracam do tej serii regularnie i nie mam słów, by wyrazić swoją wdzięczność! ❤

[@gregniemczuk]

Dziękuję bardzo!!!!

[@daleyang498]

Wow!!! There's so much more to this mazurka than one can think! You really have shown the part about this mazurka that nobody else has. I felt emotionally changed after listening through the whole thing. Thank you very much! I hope you can also do a lecture on the Chopin Ballade no. 1. Again, thank you very much for going super in depth into this piece and showing the true colors of it that nobody else shows!

[@gregniemczuk]

Thank you! I've already done the lecture about Ballade no.1

[@albertodelagarza9163]

Magnificent!

Just learning what Oberek and Kujawiak will change how I play this mazurka. Thank you very much maestro Niemczuk.

[@gregniemczuk]

Let me know!!!!

[@DavitMinasyan-rn3fv]

oh man this mazurka is just indescribable , i am more amazed of how you can study it and speak of it so correctly and deeply not even in your first language! Chopin is very deep yet simple , astonishingly beautiful

[@cleitonsantos6844]

I came here to study, but now, i'm crying. It's great to watch you play. You play with soul. Perfect! Congratulation.

[@gregniemczuk]

Wow ... Thank you so much!

[@petihundeuhun8950]

Hi Greg, It is Peter from Hungary. Well well... Another excellent analysis of a magnifical piece. Your way of thinking and the way you analyse deeply the pieces, particularly this one, is just beyond compare. You do not just play the music (with excellent technique and emotion) but you also try your very very best to imagine yourself into the times Chopin lived in to reproduce the best possible melody filled with enormous amount of sadness, fellings, hesitations, etc... You can borrow the piece next to the sadness also a large amount of holiness (if it is the right word ) or dignity. A very few pianists can do that. A lot of them just practice and practice where they achieve excellent technique and also a great level of emotional playing but the 1% more you give in with that I have already written above just puts the crown on the head to this particular piece. Its not a shame if I say that I have cried a bit just due to seeing a person trying his absolutely best to teleport himself in the skin of Chopin. I now truely understand, why this piece is your favourite. It is now also mine. I can not find the words to express myself, you are grandiouse my friend!!! Chopin would be proud of you, thats for sure!!!!! Warm hug from Hungary!!!

[@gregniemczuk]

Wow..... I'm speechless... Thank you for these words... They are truly special... Yes... This is music from another world written but a suffering man....

Thank you!! It's not so important, what's important is that YOU came across this video and I hope you'll watch all the others! And that what matters. 🙂 I'm doing this videos from Love towards Chopin, his music and all the music lovers around the world who are interested in getting to know more.

[@leilaokaloha937]

@@gregniemczuk As a Chopin enthusiast, be sure I will. Even if i know how to play some pieces, i feel like i dont have a basis for my interpretation, mostly because I lack a lot of music theory (im not a professional). That's why I find very helpful the way you disect the context & the structure of the opuses. I respect your dedication for music and wish you the best from Romania, the fish neighbour. ✌

Thanks Greg for sharing your insights into this marvelous composition. I have always considered it to be his loveliest Mazurka.

[@gregniemczuk]

Indeed!!! It's my absolute favorite!

My son is using the piece for Dip ABRSM. This will greatly help for him. Thanks!

Good luck!

I just accidentally came across Greg two weeks ago, as I am taking a music appreciation Zoom class from Juilliard (NYC) with Prof. Mirian Conti on Chopin's mazurkas, and I was simply looking to hear the performances themselves. Greg: you're an inspiration to everyone who loves music! It's a pleasure to see and hear someone with as much devotion and love for his work. Thank you!

[@gregniemczuk]

Wow!!! Thank you so much! Good luck to you! And congratulations!!!

"Dzien dobry," Greg:- I was trying to find your KZbin on "La ci darem la mano," but am coming up with nothing. Did you make one? SL

[@gregniemczuk]

@@slenko5960 Nope, because,my project was only about the pieces solo piano ale originally published by Chopin. Later I broadened it and made posthumous works too

[@slenko5960]

But maestro, his ‘Variations on “La ci darem la mano” ‘ is Opus 2! And I have listened to it elsewhere for solo piano on KZbin. Was it published posthumously? Opus 2 he must have been a 10-year-old! SL

[@gregniemczuk]

No no, first of all, it was written for piano with the orchestra, but also there is a solo piano version. But that's the reason why I didn't analyze it, as I only did piano solo pieces. Secondly - he was older, about 18,19 but it was officially published as the second of his pieces.

[@slenko5960]

@@gregniemczuk Ah. I see. Thank you Greg for taking the time to clarify the issue. SL
