F. Chopin, Nocturne Op. 15 no 3 in G minor

[@Thomas-zp8gv]

Mooie nocturne en ik had deze nog nooit eerder gehoord. Prachtig gespeeld !

[@simonvanthoff]

@@Thomas-zp8gv dank! Het is ook geen "hit" op een greatest hits album van Chopin...maar hij heeft veel gecomponeerd, veel te veel voor slechts één greatest hits cd :) Deze is, vind ik, heel bijzonder (zoals zoveel van zijn composities 🎹👌🏻)

Erg genoten. Dankjewel!

@@Jod3lay dankjewel! Het is niet een 'meteen meezingbaar popliedje', maar ook dit is heel mooi, heel bijzonder, en op z'n eigen manier ook weer moeilijk om te beheersen in al z'n details (ik bedoel, weer andere moeilijkheden te overwinnen dan bij een (groovy) popliedje. Een van Chopin's minder bekende Nocturnes, vanwege het koraal op het eind ook wel "de religieuze" genoemd. Groetjes van Simon 🎹

Hey Simon, last year I had classes with you and you gave me a list of books for beginners but I broke my phone and lost the list. Could you tell me a few books to buy? Thank you! Great video😍!

@@rafaelduarte5567 good afternoon Rafael, I hope you are fine! Back in your country again, I think? I probably mentioned to you to buy a variety of beginner books, to learn step by step the basics. So, for example, you could buy the beginner series of Schaum, Faber, Hal Leonard, Aaron, The Joy of First Classics (book 1 & 2), Folk Dean, Alfred's Pemier Piano Course, to name just but a few of the possibilities. I will app here, in these comments, another KZbin link for you, of another channel, in which you can have a visual explanation of these beginner books. All the best, kind regards from The Netherlands, Simon 🎹

@@rafaelduarte5567 Here an example of a channel were they explain some method books, Rafael. As you can see, he also emphasis the difference between the variety of possible books: some are more "modern", others are more "classical" focussed. kzbin.info/www/bejne/haqzaqWte9iqipIsi=j7StmYqkk3r4PaZk To add on his link, again: I would also buy the mentioned books "The Joy Of First Classics Book 1 & 2", because these pieces are all original easy compositions by the great classical composers, and as mentioned before, in your case, focus more on buying "classical" methods like Michael Aaron, Faber, Folk Dean (= old fashioned Dutch ;) or Premier Piano Course, and avoid a little bit the more "modern, American, popular orientated" Alfred's for adults: that's also a fine method, don't get me wrong, also with classical pieces in it, but overall they are more "chord-playing-focussed" than the other methods or books I wrote down (like the 2 Joy Of-books I mentioned). Kind regards, Simon 🎹
