I don't understand why youtube algorithm has never introduced me to this AMAZING COVER???? I literally have to search and type for a nocturne cover until I saw your video thumbnail. Anyway, great job, sir. Somehow, I felt happy when I listened to your cover haha Good luck!! x)
I have to confess that at the beginning I wasn't expecting very much of this video. But I was clearly wrong. I can't believe how beautiful it sounds Amazing technique, I got shocked by your ability to make tremolos with one hand. I thought it was impossible so I used to play this piece on piano. Now I'm encouraged to play this on marimba, although it will be a bit more difficult
CLAYTON: GOD GAVE YOU A GREAT GIFT. KEEP ON THAT TRACK! YOUR WONDERFUL, FANTASTIC INTERPRETATION ON THIS FRÉDÉRIC CHOPIN HONORS THAT BRILLIANT POLISH ARTIST! THANKS FOR YOUR WORK!
oh my god this is amazing this young man found onother way to play a great song. this video brings joy to me to see a young man showing what talent and love he has for music i am very happy. young man if you do read this please countinue with what you are doing very amazing he is memorizing an amazing artist lovly ceep up the good work
everyone is saying that you did a “good job except you missed a couple of notes”. and that pisses me off because 4 mallet marimba is fucking hard coming from a percussionist as myself. so you did an amazing job.
this is extremely amazing. couple of wrong notes here and there when you reach with your 4th mallet but your left hand's accuracy overshadows that :). I'm also struck with awe at all the trills and small runs you did with just your right hand. bravo
holy crap. pardon my language but that was frickin awesome. even with 10 fingers I can't play it properly on the piano. let alone with 4 mallets. absolutely fantastic.
What the F .....you give me hope so good I know you would have to already know how to play that on the piano as well so that just blows my mind that you can play that on xylophone bro live long and prosper my brother
Beautiful!!! Having heard all of Chopins pieces I've often wondered how they would sound on the marimba. I must say they translate nicely (at least this Nocture does). Would be nice to hear the 2nd Scherzo on the Marimba. This was great.
en el 0:32 y en el 1:14 tocas Db-B y es Db-C. On 0:32 and 1:14 you play Dflat-B, and its Dflat-C. The rest, is just perfect, thanks for sharing your talent.
You are an excellent player. It is because of this that I would like to give you some advise. While I'm am quite satisfied with your louds, if you showcased the softs more by making them even softer, your performance would reach an even higher level. Try using more of your dynamic range. Also, this piece could really be enhanced if you were to use multi-tone mallets like the malletech stevens series. Mind these are not criticisms but just little things to improve upon.
Personally, as a percussionist, I believe that I would play this piece much slower and let the resonance of the keys be a critical element in the sound. Technique wise was impressive, but stylistically it needs work. I can see you've memorized it, which also is extremely impressive, but you've got to really feel it-- Like you're hitting the note because you want to, not because it's what the piece calls for. I was thinking about doing this for two mallet vibes, but really, this was good!
It actually can! If you've seen a piano, then you probably know what an octave looks like - the black keys especially. 2 then 3 then 2 then 3. Just like that. If you take a closer look at the marimba/xylophone he's playing, you would see that there are two and then three 'black' keys, the one on top of the 'white' keys.
To the 16 little haters who clicked "dislike": If you don't have anything nice to click, don't click anything at all. To Clayton: Exceptional work. Bravo!
I dont care about the few notes he missed, IT WAS AWESOME!!!!! NOW thats talent!!!
And, it is not an easy thing he's doing. Happy to hear that melody on a marimba! :)
That's how you know for sure he's not Vulcan. He might be half human, though, but not 100% Vulcan.

@ZamHalen94
This is my own transcription of the original piece. I omitted a few notes and adapted it for the range of the instrument.
Do you have a copy of the sheet music?
@@Soupisgood357 Look in the description :D
JAWED
I'm actually living for the annoying intervals you nailed in the right hand
JAWED
Though its better on piano because of the sound... this seems way harder to perform on the marimba. You really have mastered it.
Chopin sounds great on every instrument. The performer really did a good job,if there were less mistake notes,then it is a perfect work.
i've been listening to this recording for at least 5 years. amazing work
Thanks, glad you enjoy it!

本当に素敵。
もう10年近く昔の動画なんですね。でも全然色褪せないなぁ。何度も聴いちゃう。
you must have been born with 4 mallets in your hands. Outstanding marimbist....love everyone of your videos....

Treatment of the melody is fantastic. Very clear. Phrasing is nice too. Well done!

I love this song, really good for music, and relaxing.
Speechless. Watching this @2022

You made this instrument look so respectable....
My brother said it sounds AMAZING MORE THAN AMAZING
Thanks a ton!
He kinda looks like dat guy from Star Trek
It's the hair
OOF!
I thinks its even funnier that you dont know his name
@@patrickikose5803 spooc right?
I cried remembering when I played the marimba. Not as well as he does, but I miss it. So beautiful piece.
I'm in utter awe. Dude, that's seriously some amazing work you've done here!
You have absolutly amazing technique. Great job!!! 12/10 would watch again.
Just bought this for my college audition excited to play it
i thought it would be more energetic, but it is calming too

that is indeed a beautiful marimba! very well played! congrats!
very nice dude. i like this nocturne and you managed to swift me off my feet. thanks for playing so well above all. very musical.
Great!

One of my favorite pieces on one of my favorite instruments 😄. Beautiful!

I love this piece, great work Clayton keep them comming. Thanks.
Thank you clayton, chopin is a dream
the days we've wasted.... the days go by.... i value each one of them..... each day is a gift.... i will kill again..
when i played my marimba i could NEVER get that amount of control on the outer mallets! awesome!
omg marimba version is totally making me happy haha
I can play this on the piano, but I enjoyed your version way more! :D How marvelous and clever!
For the love of all that is good in this world, get that published!
Beautiful...nice to see passion in music.
man i wish i had music to this... I'd totally play this in my recital next year
Fuck this is so good, I hope to play marimba as well as him in a few years
So...? did u follow ur dreams? Are yo a pro marimba player?
Yo

Stellar performance. Beautiful.
This is pretty sweet. Actually it's pretty awesome. I think I'm gonna try and play this!
Beautiful!!!

Wow very cool arrangement! Good job great playing!
Awesome work man
Thank you, dude!
A brilliant rendition!
Chopin sulla marimba è un'idea geniale!
This is so great. And so extremely hard. Quite bold to post a single take (or I'm assuming it is). This is like Cangelosi-hard.
I would soooooo love to play this man jus frekin unreal
FANTASTIC!!
Hermoso, bello. Keep playing good Clayton.
DANG YOU STOLE MY IDEA, I SHOULD HAVE GOT ON IT WHEN I THOUGHT OF IT - GREAT JOB !!!

Amazing and beautiful
i really love this video. Thanks much!
Wow this is amazing! Crazy idea: can you try this on the vibes? I think the peddle will bring out the left-hand chords more.
Hand skills!!! your woman must be really proud lol
lovely mallet work there, Spock.
Beautiful, Clayton!! If Frédéric had heard this he would have felt an intense need to write for the marimba (and you)! Happy New Year!!
Happy new year lol
А я по Русски разговариваю
very cool man. Get it published! Hell..I would play it
wow you're amazing other than some missed notes that is very good
Jorge...You are amazing in that you noticed he missed a note.
超、感動しました！

Well not shit... I play piano. I just meant in the sense that with the marimba you kinda of have 4 fingers instead of ten. That's all...
You technique is so pretty! =D
@RHCPDMBxxx33 It's actually from 2010. Not 2009.
2.07 what an awesome run
I played this nocturne a few years ago.
Love it! How could anyone dislike?
Too fast, missed notes
please tell me where is this amazing peice of music !
Best of the best
Thank you!
totally agree! Spock the awesome marimba player
Wook at widdle Cwayton Stwoup!
You are ammmmmmazaing!!!
@HaveaBlast18 Inspired right? Just a mistype I think. This is a beautiful piece.
Great job sounds great. Would it be possible to send me the partiruras? I would greatly appreciate it.
You honor Chopin!!
