It has been some time since I have visited your series, but am always moved by your videos. Your compassion and desire to support your neighbors in Ukraine is evident and an example for us all. Wonderful video as always, showing the power and potential healing power of art/music. Thank you. Peace and love from America. #SlavaUkraini #NoWar

So moving! Thank you vetu much for taking the time to talk about these 2 great artists. The poetry was especially emotional to hear combined with the music.

Greg -- Besides a big THANK YOU for this and your other videos (you have greatly influenced and HELPED my own playing!) -- I was surprised that you didn't mention that the first melody of the "dialogue" is a direct homage to Tchaikovsky's March Slave! But more importantly, THANK YOU!! In addition to all else, you may have inspired me to go and learn this piece!

[@gregniemczuk]

Thank you for mentioning this! You're absolutely right!

[@larchmontmark1]

Greg: Let me add, I have been working on Chopin's Op. 7 no. 3 Mazurka and the F# minor Polonaise, and the differences that have resulted from my listening to your videos have been so striking that people have wondered what came over me..... The Polonaise in particular -- even though I have been playing and studying it for almost 60 years (!)

[@ministryofdressing]

what a beautiful and sad music, it reminds me of some turkish melodies, which means that the balkans region has this commonality in the tunes which is heartwarming and welcoming... and your input with the explanation is so touching, thank you for doing what you do, you are so important to us Greg !

[@SCRIABINIST]

Another beautiful composer from Ukraine is Bortkiewicz, who wrote some of the most charming melodies ever.

[@gregniemczuk]

Yes I know him!

[@rusl4nalentiev]

Thank you for your support. We are having a hard times, but I know that we'll definitely win and imperialistic russia will fall down forever. It's great that you share this music with people who probably had never heard of it. We have so many of a great composers : Lyatoshynsky, Revutsky, Kosenko, Zubytsky, Bortkiewicz and many many more. One day, when this hell ends, I hope these guys would be more recognized in the world. Thank you for your work and Слава Україні!

[@gregniemczuk]

Thank you! I believe in that and I do hope their music will be more often heard in the world!

[@vripiatbuzoi9188]

Interesting tablets you have for sheet music. What are they?

[@gregniemczuk]

That's a brand new thing for me. It's a GVIDO! Quite good, but I still have to get used to this
