15-year-old Ionuț Șeremet, with 2 years and 9 months of dedicated piano practice, performs Frédéric Chopin's Nocturne No. 2 in E-flat major, Op. 9. Ionuț is a diligent and passionate student who has worked tirelessly to bring out the beauty and emotion of this masterpiece, showcasing his growing artistry and love for the piano.
Composed in 1830-1832, the Nocturne Op. 9 No. 2 is a hallmark of the Romantic era. This period, spanning roughly from 1820 to 1900, emphasized emotion, individuality, and technical innovation in music. Chopin, often referred to as the "Poet of the Piano," revolutionized the instrument's repertoire, infusing it with lyrical melodies and intricate harmonies.
The Op. 9 Nocturnes were dedicated to Madame Camille Pleyel, a patron and wife of the famous piano manufacturer Ignaz Pleyel. Nocturne No. 2, in particular, is celebrated for its singing melody and ornamental passages, evoking a sense of serenity and longing-a testament to Chopin's genius as both a composer and pianist.
