the beginning theme is so light and innocent it makes me believe chopin is reminiscing about his earlier life before the trauma and agony.

[@PianoScenesMoviesandSeries]

Exactly! Childlike memories of an innocent past before things got bitter and dark.

[@yummysoup9066]

Man, I really enjoy learning about these pieces. And I enjoy your style of teaching/lecturing. Thank you.

[@gregniemczuk]

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! This was so helpful.

this series ist great for me , because i am learning this beautyful music to play. When starting with the frst Nocturne op.9 and moving forward to this, you get to know "the variation of beautyness" itself. Thank you!

[@gregniemczuk]

Woooooow, so happy to hear that!

I do not think Chopin had nature in mind when writing this nocturne. My theory is that his nocturnes are about exploring the deepest feelings of human beings. Broadly I would divide them into the interactive nocturnes and the contemplative nocturnes. I think this is the first of the latter, and the fact that it involves an inner voice is why Chopin wrote for it to be played sotto voce.

[@gregniemczuk]

Beautiful!

[@paulvannessspianoworld1724]

So many poets use nature as a vehicle for expressing emotion. So?

[@heresy7266]

absolutely ingenious! I always get mind blown while listening to this particular nocturne, Chopin was truly an angel sent by god! what a magnificent beauty. pure, innocent, romantic feelings! I can't wrap my mind around how a mortal full grown man could wright such an innocently grand piece.

[@laurie7357]

The feeling the A section of this nocturne has always inspired me is nostalgia. Pure nostalgia. To me it could not be more obvious that Chopin is referring to his past. I instantly have flash backs of my childhood every time i hear it. It is so pure and innocent... 🌈💔

[@jamespower6854]

What a beautiful take on this Nocturne, thank you again Greg. After you pointed out the left hand repeated notes, and that right hand rhythmic motif that comes and goes, all I can hear now is a heartbeat (rest dub-dub rest dub-dub) and the bare whisper of a mazurka in the right hand...his heart longing for home perhaps? As the mazurka rhythm vanishes, the storm begins...

[@gregniemczuk]

Beautiful description

Brilliant analysis. Would love to hear your comments on the nocturnes that are being played by these talented contestants in the preliminary rounds of 18th Chopin Competition going on right now.

[@gregniemczuk]

I understand. But I have no time to listen to them! ☹️ I'm Working all days long on this project, studying new Chopin pieces to make these analysies. Thank you for watching!

[@ruairikennedy2777]

Happy to have found your you tube content, Greg. You have a passion for playing that reminds me fondly of my old piano teacher, Tibor (from Hungary). I can hear him now.. "The qvality of the sound..." or "you Butchered this piece!" ha ha. subscribed!

[@gregniemczuk]

Hahahaha wonderful memories!!! Thanks for being here!

[@azael5033]

Hello, I love your videos. Do you still have the easier version written by Chopin?

[@smichelin19]

the storms are always in a minor key and at rapid tempo

[@carterday17]

Great video! This is one of my favorite Chopin pieces. I was wondering if you still have the easier version Chopin write for his students?

[@gregniemczuk]

Hi! Yes I have! Drop me an email on [e-mail]

[@carterday17]

Thank you Greg!

[@elias7748]

Thank you so much for this one. I was so used to listening to slower tempos and I've now started to appreciate this much more. From now on, I'm going to start calling this piece the "Raindrop Nocturne". I just have one question; If I want to learn more about Chopin and his life, what's the best biography? I've watched many of your videos but I can't remember the names of the Chopinologists you recommended.

[@gregniemczuk]

Thank you! I recommend the newest biography written by Alan Walker and the book "Chopin pianist and teacher as seen by his pupils" by Jean-Jacques Eigeldinger.

[@elias7748]

@@gregniemczuk Thank you so much! Can't wait for Op 15 No 3.

[@manchildx277]

I would love to play this beautiful nocturne, but the Con Fuco part is too difficult for me. How can i find Chopin’s easier version he wrote for his students. I’m struggling to find it on the internet

[@gregniemczuk]

Please, write to me on [e-mail]. I'll send you back the score with this version.

[@bigl5343]

What gives one the gall to alter Chopin urtext? Borrowing a theme and writing variations is one thing, but to alter original text "I don't like this dynamic change" or "it sounds better with these notes" is a crime. Do they think they are better than Chopin? The nerve.

[@gregniemczuk]

I agree 100%!!!!
