Mazurka in G Minor Op. 67 No. 2 - F. Chopin

[@pianoforteyt]

Hi to all my amazing viewers, I hope your having a wonderful day today, and are happy and well! 😁👋🏼 Today, I performed a wonderful Mazurka in G Minor by Chopin. 😆🎹 This piece is quite well known, especially by people who love Chopin’s music! However, it’s very under-appreciated and this rough diamond is extremely beautiful and easier than you think… 😲🎶 This lively Polish dance, although being in a Minor Key is played quite vivaciously and with very much movement. 👍🏼 It shows a very similar resemblance to a Waltz in the first section (the A section) with bass and chords, and a very elegant melody, full of grace notes. 😍🥰 It’s a really catchy and addicting melody, and can really stay in your head especially when practicing this piece! 😅😂 It starts out in quite a miserable, lonely key of G Minor. 😢😣 However, this is quickly flipped over and the relative key is really prominent in the B Section. This is where the Mazurka elements and emotions really start to develop and emerge as the piece continues. 😊 Its a lovely, lively melody in B flat Major, which is repeated and played very gracefully, as well as melodiously. 🎶🎹 It really has a resemblance of the Polish Folk Dance that this piece is all about! Then, comes a mysterious melody, appearing out of nowhere, a single line of music. With no chords or complexity at all, this heavy, quite powerful monotonous tune is very great at bringing the listeners attention in more depth. 😢 It is played rather shyly yet bold and dark. 😰 This ‘Bridge’ section is then developed to a repeat of the A section through a silky smooth, transition. The piece is ended beautifully and calmly after a decrease in sound and slowing down in tempo. 😊 I hope you enjoyed my video, please don’t forget to Like and Subscribe and leave a request in the google forms link in my channel description! 😊🤩

I'm listening to it right now, and actually, I'm about to get vaccinated today. Wish me luck! It's one of my favorite Mazurkas! I'll be submitting a request later after my errands.

@@cho_rden I’ll looked at your request, Thanks!! 😃 I hope you feel better after being vaccinated! 😆

[@PhillipLWilcher]

I enjoyed listening to play. This was the first Mazurka of Chopin's that I ever learned under the one teacher who was to shape my entire life in Music more than any other. Thank you for bringing back that memory. Blessings!

[@88KeystoCure]

Love this one! So much heart! Very beautifully played! Love your phrasing and dynamics! Keep Sharing!!!!!

Beautiful Mazurka piece~! 🌷 Thank you for sharing~! 👍🏻😄💞

[@Meuphonia]

Beautiful rendition!💕 I agree that this piece is so underrated. It sounds somewhat nostalgic to me.

[@pianoforteyt]

Thank you so much Meuphonia! I was inspired to learn this beautiful piece by your amazing performance! For me it sounds somewhat familiar too… 🤩☺️

[@SW-bw1oq]

Lovely sentimental Mazurka~~~Your play is very smooth and softly!

[@HEALINGMUSICSTUDIO]

Sweet Chopin's music. Thanks to your beautiful piano performance, I have a great morning. Thanks. Merry Christmas.

[@ethanbrowncomposer]

Great! Such a nice performance. The dynamics are so nice! The piano sounds fantastic.

[@pianoforteyt]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate the kind message. It makes me happy to know you enjoy the VST piano I use! 🎹 🎶

[@leerontaimusic]

Your playing brings so much great delight and this has made my Tuesday morning so wonderful. Although I love contemporary music a lot, classical music will always have a special place in my heart because I started my musical journey with classical music. I kind of miss playing classical music after watching you play this. I wonder if I can ever get back to classical music and play classical pieces well now. Anyway, great work there! You are a true classical pianist at heart.

[@pianoforteyt]

I think you can easily get back to classical music, the music that brought you to the piano at first! I’m glad I made your Tuesday a great one. Thanks for commenting! 😆

[@highkey3310]

What a lovely performance! I like how some parts are light and free and then other parts are suddenly intense.

[@pianoforteyt]

Thank you so much, Sharon! I’m glad you enjoyed my rendition. This is what Chopin’s Mazurkas are all about, mood changes and shifts! 😄🎶

[@highkey3310]

@@pianoforteyt You're welcome! I absolutely agree. Have you played any of Chopin's other Mazurkas?

[@pianoforteyt]

@@highkey3310 Nope, but I’m planning on starting Mazurka in F Major soon! 🎶🎹

[@必死ピアノまっちゃん]

Too bautiful 💖

[@officiallypiano]

Really nice! There a good amount of rubato and you did a really nice job of controlling the melody even when there were double stops in the melody. Keep it up!

[@thegoldenkeys1289]

One of my favorites mazurkas! My favorite interpretation is by Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli but you did amazing job!

[@BobMazzo]

Very nice thank you.

[@pianolessonsboulder1894]

First loet me say how much I appreciate your comments on the piece in the comments section!:) Your playing is unpretentious and straightforward and that enhances the charm of this sweet and graceful Mazurka. I could not find it in my Henle edition of the Nocturnes and would love to know in which edition you found it:0 I love your channel!:)

[@FrancescoPianoMusic]

Very well played my friend! Didn't know this one. How can you upload one video per week, me one per month lol XD. You'll hit 1000 subs very soon (few months)

[@alexandregabrielsousa2214]

Nice

[@cernestable]

Brilliant interpretation, nice touch and dynamics. In my opinion, I only would add a little more rubato. Congrats btw, keep on it!

[@pianoforteyt]

Thanks for the tips!

[@ssymet]

for some reason it sounded calm and not calm at the same time lol

[@sweetandtenderhooligan2148]

Beautifully played. :) How would you rate the difficulty of this one, for someone who played some easier waltzes (in a-minor, op. 69 Nr. 2, op.70 Nr. 2) and nocturnes like op. 9 nr. 2?

[@pianoforteyt]

Thanks for watching❤️ its easier than those waltze and noctornes

Hi, my friend, can you please tell me how you get that great camera angle? What equipment do you use for that angle? Many thanks

[@pianoforteyt]

I use a tripod with a 90 degree arm, and a phone mount, and I record in 0.5x zoom. I used to put the tripod on the piano but it shakes too much, so now I put it behind my piano. I got all my equipment from Amazon and it was affordable. Let me know if you have any questions!

[@ironhead23]

Great stuff, you are entirely self taught? Wondering if you could tell me you've been learning / playing? Thanks!

[@pianoforteyt]

Yes I am entirely! Have a nice day!

Of course! Sorry I’ve been quite inactive in the comments, I’m really busy at the moment, but I’ll try to reply to all! I’d be more than happy to play your amazing waltz! 😜😀
