F. Chopin Nocturne in F minor Op. 55 No. 1, pianist Kasparas Uinskas, piano

[@regishacker8995]

Bonjour à tous j’aime bien ce tempo enlevé pas surjoué agréable et aeré. Bravo monsieur

[@LucasKingPiano]

There are some very experienced pianists in the comment section. They should all make tutorial videos on how to play it.

[@RAWBANDerson]

Solid performance!!! Thoroughly enjoyed it.

[@ImJustSaying0]

Nocturnes are supposed to be reminiscent of the night. His interpretation has a little bit too much sunshine for my liking. A bit more melancholy wont hurt.

[@BrewingInBrooklyn]

@deerodchan The tempo marking on the original manuscript is Andante. So this interpretation is probably pretty close to what Chopin actually intended.

[@Maussade33]

Un nocturne est supposé être lent. Soit. Mais un pianiste talentueux n'a pas à tenir compte de ce qui est supposé. Un battement, une distance, un élément d'étrangeté fondu dans une mélodie familière, voilà ce qui distingue le pianiste de la caisse enregistreuse. Cette interprétation, plus lumineuse que la plupart des nocturnes il est vrai, me donne l'idée de cette "tristesse rigoureuse" dont parlait Satie : il y a de la beauté, aussi, à déguiser son chagrin derrière une allègre pudeur.

[@dimidenote9878]

Okay I'm in love with this guy

[@dimidenote9878]

Beautiful man

[@247Lang]

Beautiful, I'd say it's the best interpretation I've heard thus far, and the tempo is just perfect. I'm learning this piece, and found that I need to make it just slightly faster, well to the point of Andante, which of course means at a moderate, walking piece. I also love how this pianist is very calm and his facial expressions are strict and not outlandish, the expression clearly comes from the piece he's playing.

[@Snedgys]

Great Song!!

[@stefomate]

beautiful

[@TheRnaccarato]

achei a primeira parte/tema muito rápida, mas a apresentação foi perfeita. parabéns.

[@EliGioCic]

fantastic job

[@becandid-z7v]

Speed is a reflection of the interpretation and interpretation is a reflection of maturity and experience.... He was definitely in a rush...

[@MaeLeong]

a bit too fast... it is s nocturne, isn't it?

[@KingDJRule]

I saw this pianist sometimes in ARTE :D I just wanna live in berlin so I could get everytime to the philharmonie :D

[@deerodchan]

yes i know there is a lot of pressure nowadays to interpret the music "your way" to all respect, this is a very fascinating interpretation, but just like the greats in the past, bolet, horowitz, rubinstein, they all play this piece at a classy , slow , sad (nocturne way) The speed on this video here takes out that effect that this nocture needs.

[@handelknown6109]

This is what I looking for.

[@xavier878]

I barely dont leave comments but, I gotta say this interpretation is pretty good...

[@drewshipman]

@djurban but nocturnes are supposed to be relatively slow...

[@gulnarasadykova5955]

🎉👏👏👏👏👏🔥

[@ErikaRagazzi]

Compliemnti !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@elliekim9075]

Well musicians have the right to understand the way of music they want, that's what they are for. They are not robots, are they? Although I do like the rubato he is using, but in my understanding of the music, I do like more legato and slow.. I still respect him.

[@RealGingerTea]

Not so much a right as a consequence of the human condition. Chopin's Nocturnes are very specific in the way the performer should approach the music, the rubato is supposed to be in the melody only, while the right hand/accompaniment is always in time with the metronome. It is in this way, that many people commit sacrilegious crimes when performing Chopin. Perhaps you would understand more, if you understood the minds of Chopin and Liszt, I've included an excerpt from a book [Book of Musical Anecdotes, Lebrecht] which anyone playing Chopin should at least be aware of, and it includes the words of Chopin himself. 305 One evening, while they were all assembled in the salon, Liszt played one of Chopin’s nocturnes, to which he took the liberty of adding some embellishments. Chopin’s delicate intellectual face, which still bore the traces of recent illness, looked disturbed; at last he could not control himself any longer, and in that tone of 'sangfroid' which he sometimes assumed he said, “I beg you, my dear friend, when you do me the honour of playing my compositions, to play them as they are written or else not at all.” “Play it yourself then,” said Liszt, rising from the piano, rather piqued. “With pleasure,” answered Chopin. At that moment a moth fell into the lamp and extinguished it. They were going to light it again when Chopin cried, “No, put out all the lamps, the moonlight is quite enough.” Then he began to improvise and played for nearly an hour. And what an improvisation it was! Description would be impossible, for the feelings awakened by Chopin’s magic fingers are not transferable into words. When he left the piano his audience were in tears; Liszt was deeply affected, and said to Chopin, as he embraced him, “Yes, my friend, you were right; works like yours ought not to be meddled with; other people’s alterations only spoil them. You are a true poet.” “Oh, it is nothing,” returned Chopin, gaily, “We have each our own style.”

good job dude 5 stars

[@thestinkyuncle]

Love the Più mosso part

[@ultracowking]

@djurban i think he plays it faster than the marked speed

[@RealGingerTea]

has this been sped-up to avoid copyright? Sounds better at 0.75x speed, except the introduction of artifacts makes it unlistenable

[@olymoon2008]

Every musician have the right to play a piece the way he/her wants. that´s all. I think i´m gona a do a reggaeton version of this piece. Arriba arriba !!!!

[@LeticiaStrand]

Oops! I'm on my iPhone and there's two buttons to either like/comment and another to flag as inappropriate! Sooo sorry I pressed the wrong button the first time o.o But the piano playing is amazing!

[@Monstero5o]

new mountain driving song!

[@LucasKingPiano]

I found the opposite to be honest, there is emphasis on remaining fixated on the score. If I try to do anything different my teachers won't accept it.

[@djurban]

@tratata73 too slow, I love the performance by Christiane Mathé or Hugo Steurer from point classics old record

[@NikolaB93]

@deerodchan I have slow computer and then song is slower to so its perfect to me :D

[@ethanlee7308]

Actually, this is the correct tempo because the piece says to play it Andante which means walking speed. I know nocturnes are supposed to be slow and connected but whatever Chopin wrote is what you play.

[@MsChausson]

Good but a bit too fast

[@KorruptedCell]

A bit fast for my liking but good play non the less.

[@rachelzhang545]

Too fast

[@topberzerker]

This deviates too far from the original score for me. The original is beautiful and does not need such embellishment.

[@m.moonsie]

This is SUNSHINE, not NOCTURNE 💀

[@sach3457]

0.75 speed is better

[@jejoisland9182]

He didnt get it

[@L3vYziom]

Polish music :D

[@valdas0]

Actually I like the speed, I enjoyed his interpretation

[@Tahoo93]

haha..................

[@JustB3NJI]

Too fast and he doesn't get the most out of that cadence.

[@033muil]

no legato

[@AlexRichter]

wut? lol

[@JulioRomero]

0:14 que pedo wey? ¿Porque chingados cortaste el comienzo? Que basca, solo por eso: "Arruinaste la obra"
