This is the first Chopin piece I have played in my 10, almost 11 years as a pianist. Mozart's Piano Concerto no. 21 prepared me for this Nocturne, what with the triplets, light touch, and all. And as a matter of fact, I am arranging this Nocturne. I figured that since it is the first Nocturne I have ever played, it's only fair that I arrange this Nocturne as my first Chopin arrangement. I first looked on IMSLP for arrangements of Chopin's nocturnes and the ones I see basically amount to this: Piano: Left hand rewritten for 2 hands Other instrument/s: Right hand melody With my arrangement though, I am taking the right hand melody and putting it in the flute, spreading the left hand chords across the cello, viola, and second violin, and having the first violin play a harmony part. When I need a harmony part, as in the case of my Flute + String Quartet arrangement of Nocturne in Eb, I find that harmony part to be the hardest thing to get right. I mean, just adding to the chords is kind of lame, but at the same time, if I go for a countermelody, I need to both: 1) Make sure the countermelody isn't too dissonant with the main melody and that any dissonances that exist between the 2 melodies resolve 2) Make sure the countermelody fits harmonically with the bass line And, avoiding voice crossing as much as possible helps to both not drown out the main melody and not make the piece sound more static than it should. But, despite the difficulties that countermelodies bring, I'm sure I'll figure out a harmony part that fits both the main melody and the chords. I can upload the arrangement to my KZfaq channel and link it here once I'm finished with it if you want.

Sounds like you have big plans Carrots! ;) I think the chords in strings and melody in the flute would work fine, and then you have some contours of melody in the underlying voices making up the chords. I would be careful to add new voices, but if that's what you want to do then it will be something more than the original Nocturne, and that's fine too. Feel free to share the arrangement when you have done it, I would like to see it.

@@SonataSecrets🤓 Jane Eyre is a novel of English literature written by Charlotte Brontë. The film was a short adaptation, because the book is more detailed. The Brontë sisters wrote several books. But certainly this type of literature interests women more, as most dream too much. In the piano scene he asks her to play a song on the piano.

Interesting! That's probably the best inspiration you can get imho... I haven't played Op 55 no 2 more than just looked through it, but I admire it and I might do it next year or so. It's a more complex work with two voices talking to each other for much of the piece, and lovely chromatic harmonies at times!

Hi. Thank you for wonderful video! I have one question. In bar 7, after trill, Why do you play E flat instead of E natural? If I'm right, Pollini also played like that, so I wondered why.

@SonataSecrets 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you! There are actually different versions in editions with E flat or E natural. My physical score had Eb, that's why I changed in the score I used here. But you are right, most pianists play E nat but Pollini also plays Eb.

@SonataSecrets 2 жыл бұрын

Well, I think the diminuendo is only for the melody, in some editions it's written only an accent on G instead. But anyway the 8th note F should of course be softer due to the tie.

@@SonataSecrets Ok i see! question, in a piano score, if they wanted a diminuendo only for the melody, wouldnt they put it on the top of the melody instead of in the middle? and, sorry for my agressive tone, i'm some kind of music extremist, but in no case i diminish your work! it's awesome, and more initiatives like that are needed!

@mascagny 2 жыл бұрын

i'v looked in the first edition. the diminuendo is weird, quite short, like only for the first two 8th notes, but closer to the melody. Also, why wouldn't he write Sub. PP? wait, does any one use Sub. PP or it is onlz sub. P?

@SonataSecrets 2 жыл бұрын

well, I'm saying subito just to emphasize that it comes suddenly, it's not in the score here anyway. These short diminuendos close to the melody - sometimes it could be hard to distinguish if the composer mean a dim or just an accent from the original handwriting, I think maybe in Schubert too you can find different interpretation in printed editions. And thanks, no worries!
