Hello, normally i dont write ANY comments, but for you i do. You dont want to sell us something, dont tell us to subscribe or like your videos. You create your videos out of passion and love to classical music. Every time i watch your videos, i believe in the good part of humanity. Your explanation is very deep and moving. The thing, i loved the most is that you said, you would sacrifice 1 year of your life, just to hear Chopin playing 1 time . Keep doing what you love. Greetings from Germany.

I count this among his best and one of the best melodic piano pieces of all time.

I recently played this piece for my grandparents when visiting them in a nursing home. They're both almost 100, dealing with cancer and other issues, but still together and happy. Your analysis made me tear up thinking about it lol.

I am performing this tomorrow evening, and I have been scouring the internet for artistic interpretations to find the emotiONs I want to express and the story I want to tell. Your passionate, unique love for this music is so enrapturing and comforting to watch, and many insights you have given me will surely help ease my nerves. Thank you for this Beautiful essay!

This is my favourite nocturne, and the reason why - at 55 years old - I bought a piano and have spent an hour a day for the last seven years teaching myself to read music. I love the drama you have uncovered in the score. Fabulous! One day, soon, I will learn to play this masterpiece.

In terms of Nocturnes from people I know that know them, this is probably the most underrated one. Everyone I know loves the common ones like Op. 9 no 2 or C# Minor (Which are also very beautiful don't get me wrong), but the fact that most of my friends don't mention this nocturne is a crime imo. This is the best Chopin Nocturne imo.

For someone at the age of 39, who grew up in a pop culture, your lessons and interpretations helped me unveil the "mystery" and discover the real mastery of Chopin's music. I wish everyone had such lessons in school. Thank you very much for doing this. Great work :)

God, it’s just fantastic, how easily you explained what I feel in this nocturne! Bravo! Wonderful! ❤

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and discoveries with such enthusiasm.

Thank you for making these analysis for Chopin nocturnes, I absolutely love this piece and your explanations allowed me to dive deeper into this beautiful music. Keep up your amazing series!

Thank you for this fantastic presentation. This is my favorite out of all of Chopin's works, and it seems to rise above the other Nocturnes. I often wonder if composers have their favorites and if they spent extra time lovingly writing them, for this seems lovingly written, and as you suggest, Chopin is writing about himself. I think that if you play it at a steady rhythm, it's a waltz, the last waltz of a couple deeply in love, but who, by necessity, must part, and never see each other again. They're all alone in a misty ballroom, sad and dreading the final moment, but at the end, they simply vanish away together. But also I see it as as Chopin's brief life. He hovered a little above the earth while he lived, and then he floated away.

i cried when i realized how measure 18 through 25 were expressing... you bring such love and such care to Chopin's pieces. thank you for sharing a piece of your beautiful heart-i'm moved to love. thank you, thank you 💗

This video was the first one I watched on your channel on 26 nov 2021 via KZfaq suggestions. You don't know how much I've learnt from your videos since then. I'm so grateful to you for all your lectures and your beautiful soul. You do make the world a better place. My heartfelt big thanks to you, Greg! I'm looking forward to seeing your concert in the Netherlands.👍👍👍❤️

Amazing approach !!! Endless delight !!! What an inventing sensibility and persuading eloquence, both in analyzing and interpreting this celestial masterpiece !!! Innumerous thanks, Maestro Niemczuk from the depth of my heart.

I forgot to watch this when it was uploaded. I was waiting for this for a long time! One of Chopin's greatest compositions in my opinion. As always, great lecture, Mr. Niemczuk! It's also nice to hear you fully play the piece (twice even!) in a video. I normally treat Liszt's Reminscences de Norma as the epitome of sounding in love, but you have convinced me here that this piece is definitely another physical manifestation (of sound) for being in love. I would definitely learn this now, if only just to play it to someone I love. Also, I would not have known you already analyzed the Waltzes had you not mentioned it here, I thought I had to wait more for those lectures 😅

One needs to come look around (inside) this channel: It's a mine of gold. I had the privilege to be linked to your video from one of Josh Wright's internet members (student). I am eager to hear the insights you are sharing. And keep bringing flowers to that women Chopin must have loved. I love this idea.

This piece is next on my list to learn. Loved your analysis. You are a poet like the great man himself.

It was late as I finished your lecture on Opus 27 no.1 but felt the "need" to continue directly on with the colossal no. 2 and so glad I did. Your analysis made a deep impression and has left a smile on my face and warmth in my heart. The viewer can truly feel the emotion you bring to this piece, especially as you played in full for the second time the end. Thank you.

I'm so thankful for your Chopin analysis and tutorials! Your analysis of Nocturne in Eflat major opus 55 no 2 was quite frankly the key needed to unlock this piece for me to play it and with the passion and discernment it contains. The concept of an aria with the two voices in duet was amazing and got through to me so well. Am starting to listen to this nocturne in D flat major next.

Your playing is beautiful. This is my favourite piece of Chopin for the last 3 years. Your sound is timeless.

I love your analysis here

This is so cool! I love it

These videos are fantastic. Keep it up dude, much love.

Very helpful! Your analysis and guide is brilliant and listening to your interpretation makes it clear why Chopin wanted his heart back in Poland… must be something in the wod(k)a

lovely playing

thank you for those insights

Thank you for your videos they are very interesting !

The melody starts with the same note as the highest voice in the beginning of the duet from op 27 no 1 coda. It is the same voice and same person that continues the story. Another genius thing that Chopin sure did on purpose!! 😍

Thank you very much, Greg! for this amazing video. Your lecture brings me to understand this nocturne into a next level. Please keep this up. I can feel your passion in music. Many thanks and Happy New Year!

Such an interesting lecture. Thank you so much for sharing.

Loved the analysis!

I was really curious to see if iyour analysis would match my perception of the piece but obviously it did. The genius of Chopin was to turn human emotions into music in a way that makes it even easier to understand than words. Sometimes i wonder how is it possible to feel so connected to someone who has been dead for over 200 years but i know he still lives with us through his music. I sometimes talk to him as well. We are normal! 😂😂

The left hand itself, in the 8 measures leading up to the final ff of the original (A) melody, is a magnificent foundation on which the right hand plays.

I so appreciate these videos; I love watching and learning from you - your passion makes me more passionate about my own playing! thanks so much

Mind blowing!🎹

Great video and analysis. I learned so much and will watch your videos on any Chopin pieces I plan to learn in future.

Thank you! Your analysis is truly a gift to better understand the music of this nocturne

Marvelous insight on this Nocturne, thank you so much.

Complimenti, riesci a trasmette in modo emozionante il grande amore per la musica del Maestro Chopin. In questo meraviglioso notturno, che adoro , hai proprio esaltato l'assoluta bellezza della coda , ma di tutto l'intero pezzo. Bravo, sei forte!

Extraordinary lecture and performace. An huge thank you maestro!

An Excellent analysis, I really enjoyed watching. I'm enjoying this series, thank you for creating these wonderful lectures.

Beautiful analysis. Thank you. Such an overwhelming outpouring of passion. Chopin at his best. Note the genius of Chopin’s phrasing in measure 28 in the repeat of part A: after the tie, the notes are grouped in 2s, sounding as if Chopin is begging (for love?). He seems to be desperate. Thanks again.

You explained this very poetically. Thank you ☺️

This series of yours is absolutely fantastic. Thank you for sharing your art, analysis, and interpretation of Chopin. It's wonderful.

Thanks! You interpretation is extremely well.

Thanks very much for this analysis of one of my favorites! Very novice piano player myself, but enjoying playing this piece, very slowly of course, to enjoy better its beauty. Your analysis improves my enjoyment very much!

This tutorial is just priceless. Thank you so very much Greg for sharing your knowledge and this gorgeous music of Chopin. I'm so glad KZfaq gives me this tutorial video of you randomly. I'm going to check out your other videos for sure and will spread your channel to my connections. Thank you once again Greg. ❤️👍

Hi Greg, I write this comment after 3'30" of your video - after your question about a form of nocturne. I always considered this is like a circle - endless, every time comes to the beginning. Now I' ll continue with your video and find the correct answer!💖

Mr. Greg Niemczuk really doesn't like pianists who love to show off their technique 😂. At least, not when playing Chopin. Lovely analysis, by the way. So interesting how many of Chopin's endings are full of symbolism (e.g. Ballad 1, Op. 27 nos. 1&2 etc.)

Beautiful performance, Greg! I am currently practicing this pieve, and your analysis is very helpful. There is one thing I'm struggling with, and that is interpretation. I feel I am struggling with finding a 'story' of the piece. Your interpretation was very helpful, but I'm not understanding why there are some sad moments in this piece & what they might represent. To me this piece feels like seeing a piece of forbidden love. Meeting someone in a market, absolutely beautiful & you fall in love, realizing you will never meet again. I feel as though this story doesn't fully match up with the piece, so I'm a little bit stuck. Any suggestions on how to find my interpretation?

You described this music as only you can do it. It’s so wonderful!

On the 40th bar, i see i very similar motif from Waltz 62-2 in c sharp minor

Dobrze, że motywujesz ludzi do tego co piekne i dobre...Grüße aus Köln

Interesante

This nocturne is one of the finest that Chopin composed, and your musicological and psychological analysis is very interesting. But I would be curious to have your opinion on Chopin's metronomic indication for this nocturne (dotted quarter note = 50). You play it beautifully, but much slower than the tempo indicated by Chopin. If it's about love, Chopin's tempo gives a much more passionate character to this love than the languorous side that we usually hear.

Hello everyone, what edition do you recommend for the nocturnes?

Mistrzu powiedz proszę gdzie mogę znaleźć Twoje własne kompozycje ? .. to było by coś i zapis, domniemam że rękopisy ... Czy istnieją ? Proszę odpowiedz ...ja piszę nuty codziennie i mam nadzieję że przyjdzie dzień w którym ośmielę się poprosić o interpretację mojej muzyki... To bardzo ciekawe co by Mistrz poczuł grając moje dźwięki ... Od początku kiedy trafiłem na pierwszy film zrozumiałem że to nie przypadek... Ciekawe.. pozdrawiam Mistrzu . dziękuję za wspaniałe video 😉

What do you think about make a lecture about the two concertos of chopin

This note should note be here ? it's the fifth of Edisminished, which he is arpeging in the left hand...so why should this note not be here ? it's the 5th of II minor flat 5

Thank you for sharing your interpretation and analysis. Very insightful and inspiring
