You give so much life (and magic!) to Chopin's works. I learn to appreciate them even more because of you, even though I may never be able to play any. Thank you!

[@scarlieque]

I'm learning this piece and was looking to understand the drama in the phrases. This is a wonderful lecture. I appreciate it so much. It's grounded my playing. Thank you!

[@PedroStreicher]

This is the first Nocturne that I ever practiced, and I love it. Probably the less known and played of all the Nocturnes, maybe for that reason of not beeing so famous I find this one of the hardests to see in a good interpretation in my opinion. Amazing video as always, Greg!!!

[@gregniemczuk]

Thank you! I really appreciate your words!

[@junkobaker]

I am not a pianist, but I hope to say how much I love Chopin. I appreciate the comments written by the knowledgeable viewers here. I grew up listening to the classical music. So, for me to watch Greg’s analysis, it enriches my appreciation of the pieces I have listened before. And, I always look forward to the new analysis that is given to us, viewers, with the intelligence and enthusiasm. Yes, I do Love his playing, specially after watching his analysis, imagining what he must be feeling and showing his understanding of the music. Thank you.

[@paolo.s1756]

i just started to learn this masterwork and play it...behind the notes and after i seen this beautiful analysis from Greg is possible discover a world of feelings. And all of this is breathetaking....thank you Greg, thank you Fryderyk.

[@gregniemczuk]

Thanks Paolo! Good luck and welcome to my channel!

I appreciate so much all the sharing of your valuable insights, interpretations and imaginations. They are immensely helpful not only in terms of understanding Chopin's master pieces, but of appreciating art and life in all various forms. You are not only a great pianist, but a great illuminator and teacher. Your series of analysis is highly original, awakening and inspiring. Thank you so much for your generosity and kindness to share your expertise in accessible langue with the public. I am so grateful that I came across your channel here. I look forward to attend your concerts one day.

[@gregniemczuk]

Thank you very much! These videos cost me a lot of work and effort, so such comments and feedback as yours is fantastic for me! Thank you so much! I'll continue doing that!

[@k-hc1620]

@@gregniemczuk I have learned so much especially from your special series of insight-sharing videos - not only about Chopin's pieces, but about love and life. I fully understand how much work you have put in in producing those videos. What you are doing here is highly original. Its value to humanity is beyond words. Please keep doing. Perhaps soon, you could have some kind of "Online Library" of all the wonderful lecturers that you have been giving? It's a wonderful gift that one can give to the world. Thank you again for your generosity and kindness. I am so so grateful to all your work and efforts. I am based in Edinburgh, Scotland. Hope to attend a concert of yours before long :-)

[@elenajalan]

Same !

[@juliazvlima7433]

Thank you very very much for all that learning you share. Classical music is such a inacessible thing today, and it shouldn’t be. Im 15, play the piano and hope one day to make it a carrer. There are still people who live their lifes giving theirselfs to music. Thank you, truly

[@gregniemczuk]

Good luck!!! Thanks for being here and welcome to my music world!

[@Ethan-ib5hk]

I love your videos so much! Nauczyłem się tak wiele dzięki Tobie, Jesteś najlepszym nauczycielem w historii. Dziękuję, Mr Niemczuk :D

[@herba_fresca]

Dziękuję za kolejną porcję cudownych emocji i mistrzowską analizę. Jak zawsze na najwyższym poziomie 🏆🎼🎵🎶🇵🇱❤

[@gregniemczuk]

Dziękuję bardzo!

[@eduugr]

This was awesome, thank you very much !!

[@user-dy9zv7ib5o]

I could watch your fascinating anaylsis all day long. I dont know for sure what comes across more - your obvious love and appreciation of Chopins music, or your superb technical ability. I know one thing for sure - that is, I discovered Chopins Nocturnes roughly 10 years ago and he is a large part of my life and always will be. Going to request this particular nocturne at my funeral, although Im not planning on going anywhere just yet. I feel sad for all the many people out there that have not yet discovered Chopin.

[@gregniemczuk]

Thank you so much! Yes!!! I do love Chopin's music with all my heart! All of it!

[@petersz7322]

The left hand by omitting the 3rd really sonds like the op. 7 no. 2 mazurka, but this simplicity of the left hand helps to build up the drama in the melody in my opinion. When you played the religioso part, I could hear a church organ in my head. Thanks for the analysis and explanation, can't wait for op 48 nocturnes :)

[@pianoforteyt]

Your video was so helpful for me! I am trying to learn this nocturne now. Thanks 😊 Dear Friend

[@gregniemczuk]

Fantastic!!! Good luck! Thanks for being here!

[@fernandovici8133]

Hi! I loved your video! I don't know how to use the pedal in this piece! Can You explain that?

[@andreesanmiguel2059]

Excuse me, I have a question, what is the general structure of the nocturne? I understood that it was A-B-a- coda, is that correct?

[@murphymurf5226]

I love your playing and lectures, they are excellent and you have such great insight to share. I am a student of piano (relatively new - intermediate amateur adult) and I don't have a lot of knowledge about music and wondered if you could help me with a question I have regarding this nocturne :- Are the bars 69 to 84 a means of passing through to the last section (religioso) or are they a part of the previous section of melody? (Because I think they are quite dissonant unlike the rest of the piece)

[@gregniemczuk]

Thank you for your comment and question. These bars in my opinion are definitely a part of the previous section. Because the main motive (short,.short, long, long) is taken from the very first theme and is the main motive of part A. In this Nocturne part B is something else, probably a scene at the cemetery.

[@murphymurf5226]

@@gregniemczuk Thank you for taking the time to reply and the insight you have provided. Now that you have pointed me towards the motif I understand much better. Thanks again very much appreciated. Keep up the informative lectures and beautiful playing it has become a major part of my learning. Regards

[@murphymurf5226]

Great video thank you. Do you think that the prayer section is played with or without pedal?

[@gregniemczuk]

Definitely with pedal but only to make perfect legato

[@ericrakestraw664]

I have fond memories of Op. 15, No. 3 because this is one of the first Chopin nocturnes I learned to play. (I first studied it when I was 15 years old.) What I find interesting is that both nocturnes in G minor have a contrasting chorale-like section. Was Chopin also influenced by Hamlet when he composed Op. 37, No. 1?

[@gregniemczuk]

I guess we will never know for sure.....

[@TheLifeisgood72]

Some good commentary, especially about Hamlet, but why no mention of tempo? It's supposed to be played much faster, Chopin wrote dotted quarter = 60 with rubato.

[@gregniemczuk]

Ehhh.... You're correct. It's so hard to remember about everything!!!! Thanks for mentioning this!

[@KlausDave]

20:08 that’s so funny 😂😂😂

[@gregniemczuk]

Hahahhaa. Yeah, I got crazy 🤣

[@elenajalan]

Thank you very much Grzegorz, it is an extraordinary course, I was not bored for a moment. Your approach of going to the sources (Eigeldinger) is wonderful. I am working on it with my teacher and I am happy to see that he has the same phrasing, vision of this Nocturne (without the reference to Hamlet). He explains to me that placing the strong accent on the 3rd beat is typical of romanticism. I found your clear and relevant explanations brilliant. I better understand this complaint effect, and page 2! My teacher tells me to play the Chorale faster, but that's the only difference. While deciphering this Nocturne, so strange, enigmatic as you say, I noted 5 different parts. And maybe, in the light of what you said, it would correspond to the 5 acts of Hamlet? Seen from the side of Ophelia perhaps? A mini opera for Chopin who loved opera? Many thanks ! Glad to be one of your subscribers; and I love Poland ;)🎶🎶🥰🥰

[@gregniemczuk]

Fantastic and very enriching comment! Thank you so much!

[@scalenescott]

When I heard this, it reminded me of Erik Satie. I guess I am not the only one that felt this?

[@gregniemczuk]

Yes!

[@user-pq1np6jm2c]

Surprise! Choral. Shopin is writing church music. 🤔
