I understood very little of what you said but my ears 👂 understood why this worked and when. Does this make sense?

[@MusicMattersGB]

What we hear and experience through music is the most important thing.

[@DonyaLane]

Every time a Chopin melody makes a leap to an upper register and then descends from there, I feel he's crying. It's so plaintive. Kinda like when you're crying, and then you stop to breathe, but then you start wailing suddenly even stronger. That's what those leap melodies remind me of.

[@MusicMattersGB]

Absolutely. Melodic intervals often contain emotional tension. Much more at www.mmcourses.co.uk including details of our online courses and of our exciting Maestros programme.

I’m a huge fan of Chopin’s nocturnes having listened to each of them hundreds of times. I enjoy transposing my favorite parts to guitar. This is one of my least favorites, but I do appreciate it. I think the passing tones really demonstrate the influence that Slavic gypsy music had on his style. This one evokes weird emotions, but at least it ends in the parallel major. Edit: I hope you will analyze some of the other Nocturnes. I really enjoyed this.

[@MusicMattersGB]

[@pawelpap9]

Slavic gypsy music? I wonder what that might be. Maybe you confused Chopin with Liszt, who in turn confused Hungarian music with Gypsy music.

[@drsmith4582]

@@pawelpap9 I’m not nearly as big a fan of Liszt as I am of Chopin and would never confuse the two. I’m simply saying that the native music he heard in Poland and perhaps other places “however you want to label it” influenced his compositional talents. Albeit he took it to the next level. I do get your point though.

Chopin is one of my favs. Great analysis. Now I understand that the texture goes in and out of full and partial chords. Chopin pulls this off so well and it’s subtle. I remember listening actively before and perceiving everything as just chords... even the diads 😂 . But I like how you present that the chords and tensions are all there implicitly anyway. I personally would enjoy seeing a video on how to go from a block chord scheme to a piece as expressive as this one. 🙏

Lovely analysis! My biggest breakthrough with this one was thinking line-wise on the LH material (D's-chord-D's-chord-D's ) under the slur in the first two measures, isolating each of the three voices with Melody and bass and then trying to bring one of them out when putting together again. Each has it's own distinct motion, bottom voice rising higher each time, top voice rocking nervously between D and Eb. Very difficult! There are interesting counter-melodies like this hidden throughout his nocturnes that I'm still finding.

[@MusicMattersGB]

[@DavidFedele]

This is a phenomenal examination of Chopin's music! I'm genuinely curious - do you (anyone) think that when a composer such as Chopin is composing music, he is consciously and actively "thinking" about what he/she is doing, analysing and thinking about their own compositions in this way ..... or this is just a natural expression of themselves, and the music almost writes itself, and then it's US who then analyse it in this way?

[@MusicMattersGB]

I think the great composers write instinctively but those instincts are rooted in a sound grasp of technique. By unpacking this kind of analysis we learn how the composer has gone about the composition - a means of getting inside the mind of the composer.

Thanks again - very interesting. Suggestions: Same again with Op 27 No 2 (Number 8 in Db) which just SCREAMS emotion. Christ, this one took me so long to learn. I expect you can just sight read through it while discussing philosophy with someone. Also.....I have another suggestion (based on recent personal situation). What is "Perfect Pitch" and what are its pros and cons, and how do you identify if an 8 year old student has it. Either the student in question has it or has phenomenally good Relative Pitch. I have recently heard that Perfect Pitch is (or can be) lost with age. Do you have a take on this?

Hi :) It would be nice if you did something about harmonic Major [cdefg a-flat b] and its modes :) e.g. modal progressions, improvisations, composition, etc. In a Natural Major, the seven chords have specific functions I,iii,vi - tonic ii,IV - subdominant V,vii - dominant but what is happening in Harmonic Major? (ionian flat 6) in harmonic minor there is even worse because ionian #5 has no perfect fifth ,so, where is dominant for this mode? On vii degree or nowhere?
