“Noble solemnity” is a beautiful description of many Chopin pieces. I think of Nocturnes as accepting a brutal reality while maintaining ability to keep hope alive and recognize silver linings.

I am blown away that such a talented and knowledgeable man is prepared to share his deep knowledge with the world. My lifelong search, so far unsuccessful has been to find a tutor with his ability to explain the way forward and guide my feeble efforts in the correct direction. .

Its cool the emoji is expression the feeling of classical music ! Show more emoji for the younger view..

I didn't realize there were two versions of that section. I always wondered why sometimes I would hear this piece, even from accomplished pianists, and that part would sound "off". Now I know why!

I love the use of emojis!! Very descriptive.😊

I have tried to play Chopin lately and have gone through lots KZfaq videos.... I have not seen one with such beautiful and tone matching explanation and clarity in Chopin's piece. This is truly a valuable video to watch for anyone who wants to know more about Chopin's music. Thanks for sharing your expertise with all of us.

Henrik, you make a better world.

This was my graduation piece for my music school when I was 13... I felt very happy that I could play a composer such as Chopin

I like your channel and thank you for your beautiful playing and I wish that I can play it as well as you did. greeting from Germany

The middle part of this Nocturne has always sounded a bit "off" to me. Now I know why. The mixed time signature version sounds right even if way harder to play.

Amazing as always!

This was great! Exactly what I was looking for

謝謝分享😊值得收藏的教學。謝謝您，祝順心愉快。😊

Thank your for your wonderful analysis and performance of this beautiful piece!

Just beautiful. Your explanation & playing

This was very interesting and helpful. Thank you so much.

Priceless knowledge & passion to share. Thank you!!!!

Thank you for doing these wonderful videos! I love your refreshing look through the piece and the emojis do add a spirit to attain in the piece in my head! I appreciate that you close with the piece, in full, without interruption. Have watched many of your videos, but leaving my first comment. Thanks VERY much for your simple and friendly approach, it is appreciated. Please continue!!! I have much to learn! :)

It is such a treat to hear your trills and runs, they are so soothing that bring the audience to another world!! Big Thank You!!

This is absolutely fantastic! I remember being quite confused about the ending, with the scales and the picardy third. Aside from the technical prowess, this piece definitely does have a very deep musical meaning.

Thank you for an inspiring tutorial. As with your podcast lessons, an encouraging mix of technical and interpretative advice. And as always with the lightest of touches.

I could listen to you explain anything. So thoughtful and articulate. Especially loving the goatee :)

Thank you for your analysis and very nice playing! I hope one day I can compose something like that...

Excellent video!

Layers of flavor.

Very helpful. I have been working through all the versions and picking and pulling my favorite bits here and there and trying to make it coherent. I like your solution to the 3 against 4 section. You give it a peaceful tension which sounds "right" somehow. Thank you very much!

Congratulations Mr. Kilhamm!

This channel is fantastic yo! More pls

You really deserve waaaay more subscribers man

Very nice!!! Complimenti.. Grazie

Really like your faces and other illustrations employed on the face of the music while you are doing your analysis. Very helpful!

Tqu so much mr Henrik for the exellent explanation.. Gbu..

Fantastic!

A fine analysis! Thank you!

thanks for making this, helped a lot

Thank you for this refreshing video! I enjoy the way you talk about Chopin's music....you remind me of a young Niklas Sivelöv (perhaps you've studied with him?)

What a great video

Super! Thank you!

I wanted to thank you for your very clear helpful suggestions on dynamics. This piece is a challenge for me with all those double sharps and C# feels hard so I guess that might mean I need some scale work? ! You give an excellent lesson. I would like to send a small token of appreciation to you. How do I do that?

Thank you so much for this video 👌

i might tackle this piece soon. Been studying scarlatti and bach, which helped improve my technique a lot; now hope i can make these nocturnes sound beautiful! As always, thank you for your insight Henrik :)

Meraviglioso! Grazie

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻✌🏻 Excellent!

Thank you, I'm not a pianist therefore I appreciate your comments and explanation.

thanks so much!

May I make a small suggestion for the intro? I'm not hearing the PP in bars 3&4. So - how about using the soft (Piano) pedal for bars 3&4 - Then there is a suptle transition of volume & tone colour when the main theme first comes in on bar 5. Also this would ensure that bars 3&4 aren't an exact repeat of 1&2 Which is one of those small details noted in Chopin's works.

noble solemnity.....yeah henrick u rock... luv ya and the vids...

Can you please also do another Chopin Nocturne piece: op 27 no 2 in Db Major"? Really enjoy your Chopin Nocturne Analysis, great insights, wonderful interpretation, execution, emotions and dynamics, plus very helpful historical background and beautiful demonstration. If you could also include "overhead camera" to show the hand motion and fingering, what would be really helpful. Thanks much!

Brilliant lesson. Hope you would add the music sheet at the part of the performance too, so that i can explore and read what was taught earlier.

Thank you for the video. I am willing to die if I can play this piece as beautifully as you do.

Thanks

!!!!! Замечательно, чудесно. Огромное уважение.

Great!

Brilliant

So many different versions exist of this piece, it seems. I am studying it at the moment and I noticed lots of differences with the Schirmer Edition. Different dynamics, trill locations, extra sharps. In the Schirmer Edition, the left-hand goes to C# Major in the last 2 bars, not before that. Did Chopin himself create the different versions?

Beautiful, thank you for sharing. I am working on this nocturne and the Op. 9, No. 2. Do you have that analysis too by any chance?

Thank you for a thorough dissecation of this marvelous piece of music. I have been rehearsing this piece lately, and have come across so many variations and different versions. I am following the Henle notation, although there are some elements from other versions that I like. I do however like playing the A major part strictly as written in Henle, with 4 beats in the right hand over 3 beats in the left hand. On bar 30 the third note in the left hand is shown as a C, which is a C sharp in this key. In the Henle version, this note is a D (D sharp). This is also what you play at around 5:47 in this video, even though your sheet says otherwise ;) In my head, the C sharp is better, because it creates a pattern that repeats itself in bars 29 and 30. It is also more interesting to me with the G#sus4 chord than a G#5add7 (or something like that). What are your thoughts on this particular motion?

Bravo

I appreciate your explanation of this piece. Why doesn't anybody play the sotto voce less loud in the second part? And what edition has the major in measures 62-63? I have Urtext and the change to major comes in measure 64.

What do you think of the slurs and pedal markings on the edition with the longer major section? They seem to imply a breath at the end of every single four note block. I like it, but I never hear anyone play it like that. Other than that you're the closest to the actual score I have I've seen, so thank you!

Gracias

I bought Chopin Nocturne for the piano and found it only has 19 Nocturnes. This one wasn’t included. Totally in shock.

I love the emotes lol

Would you recommend to play min 4.22 the complicated part or weird part actually that way, or to stick with the squeezed in version.

That’s what Edward Snowden’s is doing in hiding. Learning this piece now and never knew there was another version. Might Lear the extra passage and see which one I prefer. Thank you.

I can't think of a work in C#minor that's not a masterpiece.

Why is the 3/4 section played so much faster? The 1/4 of these section sounds about double the speed of the 1/4 of the rest of the piece. Everyone seems to do this, but why? That section does not have a different tempo indication and would the assumption not be to stay with the same tempo?

At 3:40 it's looks right hand is playing triplets The think I didn't understand is why chopin chose different time signatures for both hand when he simply could write triplets for right hand and 8ths for left can anyone explain this to me

Where can i get the copy with the ¾ time signature?

can you please make a tutorial/analysis on Chopin: Nocturne "Oubliée" in C Sharp Minor A1 No. 6

Thank you for this analysis! I am currently trying to figure out in what musical form this piece is in? I have heard that it's in Ternary form, is it true? If it's true, is it in a true A B A form? How would you divide the different sections? e.g. where would you say that the A part start and ends, the same with the B part, etc? This might be a lot of questions, but I really thank you in advance for any help and clarification!

Hello, sir. I am a humble patron of music and one of its many admirers. I have always loved Chopin's music. I wanted to know that what does exactly chopin mean by 'simplicity' as he says that simplicity is the highest goal achievable?

though am no where near the level that hear on recordings have made a lot of [progress that has surprised me

What is a wow chord? Diminished?

😻💓💓💓💓💓👏

12:33 it’s like Spanish guitar.

Awww I really love those emojis! 💨 💨 💨

Is the little figurine that sit on the piano one of your favorite composer ?

Serait ce possible d'avoir les commentaires en français ?

It was published posthumously, written for a friend and not meant to be published. Chopin didn't call it a Nocturne. But I agree any collected Nocturnes should include it. Not to do so is pedantry.

👍

2:11 there should be a tie

Chopin was bipolar!

Familiarity breeds contempt! When something is overplayed, or played to death, it makes one tend to dislike hearing it.

We came to hear the music, not you!!!!!
