[@MrDizzyvonclutch]

Man. I love that Allegro con brio in No.2!

[@MichaelBemmels]

Thank you! That's one of my favourite parts too :)

[@AlanMcCarthyguitar]

Beautiful set of pieces ! I especially like no 2 ! (One to consider!!)And you played them brilliantly Michael ,

[@MichaelBemmels]

Thanks Alan! I've been playing the first 2 nocturnes for many many years, and still enjoy them very much :)

[@leonardocecchi1198]

Thanks for this magnificent execution. Loved it.

[@gioele4499]

The part with the walking bass in the third one is brillant

[@MichaelBemmels]

Yeah! They are really great compositions, and so well suited for the guitar! :)

[@travtag]

Very well played, and nice tempo as well! So many people play these too slow or too fast, I think. Probably the best playing of this whole Op. I've heard, I'll definitely be referring back here while I work through part III

[@alexanderfo3886]

Thank you for this pleasant concert and the upload.

[@Artearq7]

Son muy bellos los tres.

[@thierrymercier8695]

Enfin une interprétation simple et correcte de ce 1er Nocturne!

[@GraceEllenMusic]

Beautifully played.

[@hervecastre7359]

Your interpretation is great. It is not easy because Mertz music can be boring if not played well 👏👏

[@MichaelBemmels]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!

[@lucertola260]

Great stuff. Working away on this (No1). Hope I sound as good eventually. Love the animated con moto section. Thank you.

[@michaelvasquez5796]

Very good, ive played No. 1 and 2 myself and i made state with no. 2, i was wondering where to get music for the third

[@AlexandreBeyeler]

Bravo.

[@sagarn18]

Glad to have found this. i will start this today :)

[@MrDizzyvonclutch]

I like the painting, it's cool... I'm getting turd of watching people on KZbin, it's like..."HEY.. LOOK AT ME!!!" I mean go to watch them play at a gig if you need to SEE them... This is great!

[@chuckvandyke9918]

Wonderful playing!

[@humol3731]

Excelente

[@krismawyer55]

Wonderful, amazing! So tender, expressive, and forceful all at once. By any chance do you recall what strings you might have been using or any possibilities of strings that you alternate with? Thank you so much for your time and your inspiring playing!

[@MichaelBemmels]

Thanks for the comment! I use D'Addario Pro Arté composite core strings, normal tension

[@krismawyer55]

@@MichaelBemmels Thx for response! I just put some la bella pepesr (romero) strings on and i love them but i thought right away these feel & sound a LOT like pro arte's which are at least 6$ less. I will definitely give those composites a try! Thank you so much!

[@migueleduardo5400]

What's the name of the painting? It suits the music very well. Awesome work!

[@MichaelBemmels]

I originally found the painting through a Google search and foolishly didn't save the file or name of it :\ Sorry! Thanks for the comment though :)
