Chopin Nocturne E major Op. 62 no. 2 - Analysis: A LINE OF THOUGHT

[@alejandropolanco5997]

I can't help but look at this piece as Chopin's "goodbye". It's so nostalgic & has such a strong yearning quality to it.

[@jacekniec762]

late Chopin style is something new... He found and discover Impressionism.

[@DJKLProductions]

Nope, he didn't. He just had a few harmonies here and there that reminds of it.

[@shlomostate1623]

This is definitely the most beautiful piece of music I've ever heard. It isn't sad but still makes me cry 😥

[@MullahSteinberg]

I agree Chopin is kind of groovy , imagine if there was Facebook or Twitter when he was alive , you wake up one morning and Chopin posted “ I have an idea , what do you guys think ?” We actually live in fortunate times despite what’s going on, my Childhood hero pianist Fou Tsong passed last night. Very sad day indeed. I see Chopin ‘s nocturne like a book of life, there is a piece for every occasion. What do you think Edward Snowdeni

[@SonataSecrets]

Yes, there are so much variety within the 21 nocturnes! They all share part of a "nocturne" character of a bittersweet feeling of nostalgia that both warms and hurts, but within that some are more direct and some more reflective, some in major some in minor, som faster some slower, etc, really covering a lot of ground between them!

[@jessevallejo8797]

Lol! I knew I recognized him from somewhere. Seriously, he looks a lot like Snowden.

[@viktorenano3516]

Thank you Henrik that music is cool

[@xueqingyu4248]

so brilliant! I've been practicing this piece recently and this video is very useful to me, elaborating on the details that are fascinating. There's indeed a lot to dig in Chopin later works.

[@SonataSecrets]

Thanks, I'mglad you liked it :)

[@wiseJoehumaneway]

Thank you very much for you interpretation of this exquisite piece. I and my daughter love your wonderful analysis. You are our dear teacher, thank you Mr Kilhamn.

[@SonataSecrets]

Thank you, I'm so happy to hear that!

[@iansdigby]

I really appreciated Mr Kilhamn's exposition of this exquisite piece. Thank you sir!

[@antoniavignera2339]

Complimenti per l’analisi approfondita e l’esecuzione accurata alla fine.

[@margarethansen7480]

Beautiful!!❤❤❤It’s not one of my favorites until watching tour vídeo, Thanks a lot👍👍👍

[@XanderMoss]

One of the most beautiful of Chopin's. I think this piece was also a state of respect to Bach because second and third theme resembles a prelude/fugue but of course with more elements.

[@cheongyongchang500]

And oh also I forgot to mention. Your generous sharing of wonderful and musical ideas are so helpful in my teaching and own learning. And you make it so interesting! God bless you Mr. Kilhamn for your passion and love of music.

[@PianoScenesMoviesandSeries]

I always knew there was more to learn about Chopin. Your videos are amazing.

[@reikawakubo8538]

Thank you so much for making these analysis videos about Chopin! I enjoy them a a lot and please continue to do more videos like this!

[@SonataSecrets]

Thank you so much! :) I will do at least one year of this, with repertoire that I have studied, including more Chopin for sure and also some Scriabin later in the autumn.

[@alexmantua]

Great playing and analysis.

[@geraldmurphy7669]

Magnificent tutorial. Thank you.

[@omarcheri]

Cool video. I applaud you on your skill. I want to start learning this piece. Probably just going to learn the agitato section to begin win, since I'm working on several other chopin pieces that I need to finish. Though it seems very daunting

[@SonataSecrets]

Thank you! The agitato section is handful... but very rewarding to feel all the voices in the hands working together.

[@uki2116]

OMG exactly what I needed! When receiving piano lessons, I feel I need to learn more about theory as well. But not many teachers can help with it no matter how well they play the piano.. Thank you so much! Very helpful for dipabrsm exam preparation both for performance and viva voce.

[@SonataSecrets]

Thanks, I'm so happy you feel that way! It's the same way I felt - that's why I started doing these kind of videos :)

[@cheongyongchang500]

beautiful playing =)

[@sx99cornell]

3:55 oops😁 But I really like your analysis, both the techniques and the little story behind the piece.

[@SonataSecrets]

well spotted ;) Thank you!

[@classicalemotion]

8:44 you missed the connection with f minor fantasy, it has exactly same modulation before the new theme. (Is the third bar you have on the screen in this second... ) 🙏

[@SonataSecrets]

That's right, the modulation seemed familiar from somewhere!

[@antoineroche2073]

Very cool videos ! The last two nocturnes are the most beautiful Chopin wrote... Just one remark : at 8:54 the A is supposed to be natural (it creates an augmented 6th harmony, more dramatic and disturbing than the simple dominant harmony you played).

[@SonataSecrets]

Oh, I completely missed that! Thanks for pointing it out. It just felt so natural to play A# to form a diminished harmony, but you're right it should be A natural.

[@gabri3l875]

Wonderful video! Subscribed.

[@wiseJoehumaneway]

Mr Kilhamn, by which type of patron we could get your private advice after I post my daughter's performance on KZbin. we're actually following your teaching and practising this piece now.

[@SonataSecrets]

I actually don't have personal consultations as a Patreon benefit as it is. But if you send me an e-mail I can respond privately and we can see if we can find an arrangement. You can find my e-mail on the "about" section of the channel. (I will respond later in August since I'm on vacation time right now)

[@lm9091]

10:14 seems like Chopin invented Ska :)

[@SonataSecrets]

Ye man

[@jeovanilopez763]

Lol

[@FerdinandGommers]

Very nice, te beginning always reminds me of Schumann - Traumerei. Can you do vids on Robert Schumann?

[@SonataSecrets]

I have done a few, on Träumerei and Waldszenen.

[@aureliemuriel6886]

J aurai trop aimé que ce soit mon professeur de piano j adore comment il joue

[@thelawrencee]

I love you

[@MullahSteinberg]

What is that thing sitting on your piano ? What a good idea. You need a “finger cam “ there

[@SonataSecrets]

It's a little figurine of Beethoven guarding over the piano.

[@ZKLofiTone]

@@SonataSecrets genius!! That's really funny!!

[@farhan-ih2zu]

Can you do op 9 no 1?

[@elias7748]

His last nocturne he composed.

[@pascalpatrick3009]

why bar 38 these notes?

[@MullahSteinberg]

Hello Edward Snowden it’s me again your channel admirer ...! Lively and fantastic informative video. Would you like me to come and tune your piano some time over a cup of coffee ?

[@SonataSecrets]

Thanks for the offer but I have a piano tuner in Gothenburg that I'm very happy with.

[@MullahSteinberg]

@@SonataSecrets bad decision ...do you know I am a professional fashion model living in Paris and I love your channel ? Matt is my brother. Oh well ...play on

[@MullahSteinberg]

My god , Chopin has committed perjury on his own composition. You have made a wonderful discovery. May be he has schizophrenia and there were 2 Chopin....

Le son est mauvais
