Hi, guys! I was supposed to play subscribers’ pieces in this week. But, I think that I have to wait for more pieces from subscribers. In addition, until now, I have not come up with content for it. So, I had to play another piece “Nocturne Op. 55 No. 1. Typically, Nocturnes are really hard to play well. I hope that you guys can enjoy this piece. Thank you so much for your support!

I love how Chopin ends in major even though he wrote its entire piece in minor. Sure he loves happy ending:)

Not bad.. this generation is amazing

Whether you’re a long-time Chopin fan, or you’re here from Cyberpunk, we can all agree that this piece is beautiful.

I played Chopin when I was fighting depression. His music, the emotion behind it, literally saved my life. I'm still fighting, but his music reminds me that it's worth it. Just like this piece, I know everything will end in a major chord 💕

Ah so this piece is the inspiration behind “For The Damaged Coda”

Kassia upload = instant happiness

Meet Hanako at Embers.

Ironically, I found this piece because of Cyberpunk 2077. One of the end missions is titled "Nocturne OP55N1". So naturally, I was curious and found this magnificent piece, and so beautifully played!

For people which want to know this piece, I attached editor’s comments here. [A: 0s, B: 3min 3s, C: 4min 9s, D: 4min 26s][The chief subject A-B is bipartite and betrays a gloomy, melancholy mood. We may be permitted to represent to ourselves in fancy a wanderer, who goes his way solitary and sad, after taking leave of his beloved home and all his dear ones. The secondary subject is also bipartite. Its first part “B is March-like in character, as if the wanderer had resolved henceforth to go on more courageously. The second part “C grows steadily more passionate and excited. At C begins a fragment of the chief subject, but after a few measures it passes over into a closing part D, in which the base for a while retains its old motive, though accelerated in pace, and abandons it only when it no longer seems able to follow the right hand as it hurries ever more lightly and swiftly away. The last measures sound like; “Thank God - the goal is reached.”

This piece is so elegant yet so tragic... It's sadness at its finest form

Being a longtime Chopin fan, I never expect to hear this piece from place other than music channels. So when I saw it appears in Cyberpunk 2077, I felt so excited

Fun fact: This song is also played during the meeting between V and Hanako Arasaka in Cyberpunk 2077 at the beginning of the final mission

Chopin’s music is like a waterfall with those trills, jumps, and fast arpeggios. Chopin can incorporate Melancholy, Joy, and Grace. By all composers, Chopin is my favorite not because of how challenging it is to play his works, but The emotions Chopin can incorporate into each of his works. Chopin adds that sense of style and finesse while maintaining that specific feeling. Piece request: Heroic Polonaise in A-flat Major Op. 53

3:24 never heard someone play this part so well, not even Rubinstein.

If you recognized this as Chopin’s work before Cyberpunk. Congratulations, you’re one cultured bastard.

We hit the big leagues Jackie, we made it

This piece seems so easy... but truly it is not. Interpreting a piece is thrice as hard as playing the notes correctly almost every time. Luckily, you are capable of giving a soul to every piece you play, and I won’t ever stop thanking you for your effort and your performances, I showed your videos to as many people as possible, and there was not a single person that didn’t like your performances, be proud of yourself because you are giving a new light to the Classical Music!

found this because someone said Blonde Redhead adapted this song and it became part of Rick and Morty. it's actually really cool how music like this gets adapted over time but you can still hear the familiarities in it

If this piece isn't played at my funeral, I'm not coming.

Still not meeting Hanako at Embers

I've heard countless recordings of this piece, and yours is by far my favourite version.

*NOCTURNE OP55N1* Cyberpunk led me here, I don't care what people say about the game, this is the second piece of music the game has led me to, I love it

i’m not here because of the Cyberpunk mission i swear

I didn't know this nocturne yet. You played it beautifully

This is one of my favorite nocturnes, you played it so skillfully Kassia. Thank you for this wonderful masterpiece.

Chopin can make me cry and give me hope at the same time, and only Chopin can do that

Anyone here from cyberpunk? Am a big fan of Chopin, but cyberpunk lead me back here :p

How coincendal that i started learning this piece this morning

Sometimes simple pieces bring more emotion than the complex ones...

I need to make sure I’m no the only one who loved this piece first and then knew about Rick and Morty-

Personally Chopin must be my favorite composers so far; the amount of emotions and feelings that go into his nocturnes are just insane. Now this video of you performing Nocturne op.55 no.1 is enough to persuade me to start the grind on this piece lol

the moment I saw the notif I was like YAY KASSIA and then i saw chopin and I literally shouted out with joy I don't even know why

One thing I don’t like about this piece..... it ends

Lovely. This is how my mother played Chopin. She studied music at Illinois Wesleyan and the American Conservatory in Chicago. Thank you so very much!

Apparently Johnny Silverhand likes this song

is someone chopin onions here or what

選曲ありがとうございます。 静かな導入部と終結部、過剰に盛り上げず、充分に抑制された中間部、これらのバランス配分が素晴らしいです。

The ending with a major somehow finishes the song perfectly with a symbol of hope. For those out there feeling unhappy or depressed never lose hope.

Chopin is absolutely my favourite. You can feel the emotion in his pieces... incredible.

I Love this tempo. A Lot of people plays this Nocturne so fast, And i hate it because the piece lose feeling. Thx for upload My favourite Nocturne ♥️.

Nice

The chords, the melody, the structure is all perfect. This is what I love about Chopin.

Cyberpunk and Rick & Morty... Chopin surely was in a very sci-fi mood when composing this piece lol Btw: actually a very good melody

Came here from Cyberpunk 2077. This piece was played at an important moment and it got stuck in my head. This is a really good performance, I thank you for it. Stay safe!

I feel like your interpretations always have some magic the others can't obtain. Definitely my favourite pianist, the more you play, the more I'm convinced about it and I'm sure no one can change my mind. Thank you Kassia :D

Exploring classical music is a journey through time and culture. Composers such as Bach and Chopin left behind a magnificent legacy, marking their love and talent for music.

4:26 I know you can’t find the words to describe that melody...

Мало кому из пианистов удаётся держать «нерв» на пиано с повторениями. Браво!

1:43 ooohh that came in smooth af 🔥

Chopin has always been my favorite , such beautiful pieces of music they make me cry and this video tops it. It's forever reminded me of rain...soft rain, waterfall. None better. 🎶🎹

your interpretations are so unique.. the way you play, the time you give yo each note.. this is just so beautiful!! 💕

Ahhhh I've always loved this nocturne soo much. Also, the new setup is rlly awsome kassia! Hoping to hear ballade no.1 from you soon!

Yesss! This was my first nocturne (and Chopin piece) I ever played, so happy you decided to play it. Amazing work! (As always)

Stunning. I haven't played through Chopin's nocturnes in ages, but they were my introduction to classical piano and they are devilishly hard to play correctly while conveying what I always thought of as the "feeling" behind the sheet music. Masterfully done.

I don't care who Arasaka sends I'm not meeting Hanako at Embers

I returned for it cuz of Cyberpunk. Its good to hear this piece again.

This is genuinely incredible. Simple, yet elegant.

Remember to meet Hanako at Embers

Your touch along with the fine tuning and sound of your piano is wonderful. It resonates beautifully in my ears.

This piano setup is so cool

Welcome cyberpunk fans!

It never ceases to blow my mind how big of a genius chopin was..absolute masterpiece

still one of the greatest piano works of all time. been listening to this piece for the past 14 years and i still get chills

My favorite nocturne :0

深夜にお酒を飲みながら聴くとイイ曲だなって思いました。Kassiaさんの演奏のテンポ感も良かったです☆　リクエストはChopin: Impromptu No.1です！

*This seems like a good time for a drink and a cold calculated speech with sinister overtones. A speech about politics, about order, brotherhood, power. But speeches are for campaigning. Now is the time for action.*

Kassia, this is one of the most beautiful interpretations and performances I've ever heard. Your play is technically perfect and I love your special phrasing and even touch. Such a heartbreaking Chopin classic...I like your very slow and patient pace as if to hang on to the notes and "march" midsection was wonderful. The segue into the last section was done so well.....you create such beautiful suspense! Thanks to your incredible dynamics, you make the piano cry. Of course the smile comes on that very last arpeggiated major chord :-) I loved it! BRAVO! ~Jackie

This was used on the witcher 2's launch trailer "HOPE" fell in love with the piece ... and this was waay back when... 2011... so i had to find who the artist was... and found it was Frederic Chopin! also found Cladio Arrau's take on Chopin's nocturne... this is my favorite piece of Chopin's Nocturne... really love this take Kassia... thank you for playing this...❤❤❤

I want to learn this nocturne. Wish me a good luck.

My favorite Chopin Nocturne. So emotional and beautiful. I could listen to this for hours.

cyberpunk... hanako mission love this game and this nocturne

Yep cd project choose the perfect song for that ending

Bless my weekend

Love how you handled that middle section. Even though this was a “filler” upload, it was great to watch. Thanks.

This was amazing. I listened to it twice just so I can grasp the full emotion of the pianist and just so I can come to terms with what I was feeling. This was played beautifully.

One of my favorite nocturnes!! Thank you Kassia!

Omg! I didn't know this piece until now. It's really great piece! Your performance is very emotional and I enjoyed this a lot. Keep it up! :)

Thank you. This piece is music to my soul. I played it almost three rdecades ago and it's still my favorite of all the pieces I played. I have not played in some time, but hearing this has inspired me to begin playing again. THANK YOU for sharing your gift of music!! Music is the universal language of love, and this was executed beautifully. Well done!

I absolutely love this. I listen to alot of older music like this, but this, this is just pure beauty in the form of sound. You played this wonderfully. Thank you.

Lovely ! I always loved you performances especially when your play slow and relaxing piece. Keep up the great work, you're awesome 💕

Although I stopped playing regularly some years ago, I studied piano for many years growing up. This was one of my favorite pieces that I studied. The melody has such emotion, but the accompaniment is light on embellishment, leaving that melody exposed. You've performed this beautifully! I love when you choose pieces that show the emotional range of your playing! Keep up the good work. I always look forward to your videos.

Please don't hesitate to upload more of Chopin's nocturnes, I love the way you play them!

Asombroso, aún recuerdo cuando tenías 40k suscriptores, en hora buena Kassia felicidades y gracias

4:29 this moment is *amazing!*

this is so beautifull. Chopin really was a master mind. Great performance too.

This is so beautiful, I can't even describe the emotions hearing this!

Kassia, thank you for your wonderful playing. I have always loved your playing but this piece with the recent death of my uncle hits very different. You play it so beautifully. Listening now that we were finally able to bury him after 2 months brings me such a calming feeling like how it felt when we were finally able to put him to rest. Thank you for such a beautiful recording. Keep up the great work, it touches the hearts of so many around the world. I know you may never see this comment but I really do appreciate how beautifully you play.

Anyone else here because of Cyberpunk 2077? Thank you Cyberpunk2077/CDPR for such a great piece of classical music attention.

~Ouv3rture~💙💙

This is my favourite Nocturne. And you play it so well!!!

Hanako Arasaka played this for eternity waiting for V to meet her at the Embers.

My favorite Nocturne! ^^ You are doing extremely well, very good performance and musicality. Greetings from Palau 🇵🇼

To the s day Hanako is still waiting at Embers

this is such a bizarre piece. it conveys the feeling of a strange isolating world, not just in feeling, but in the harmony itself. love it.

i’m learning this masterpiece and i was struggling until i saw you do it and now i can do the full piece. Thank you 🙏🏻

CHOPIN NAJPIEKNIEJSZA SPUŚCIZNA DLA LUDZKOŚCI. DZIĘKUJĘ.

This is so awesome. Now I'm ready to go meet Hanako at Embers...

This song.... I can't put to words how beautiful it is thank you you for playing this song so excellent 👏

Nadie iguala a Chopin en melancolía; que bien tocas Kassia.
