I’ve been learning this piece for a little over a month now. It’s by far the hardest piece I’ve tried. I am finally at measure 30. I am an early-mid intermediate player but very motivated by beautiful pieces like this one. This tutorial was very helpful and I’m so glad that it all made sense to me which means I am definitely on the right track! I love how you explain things so someone at my level can understand. Thank you so much!
Thank you for watching. I am glad you are taking the time to study this beautiful piece and very happy to hear the tutorial helped you. Feel free to reach out with questions or to update me on your progress! Best wishes
This is the most helpful video I've found on ornaments. As a self-taught ragtime and jazz standards piano player without any classical training, this video has given me what I need to attempt some classical pieces. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment, I really appreciate it. And so glad you have found this helpful. I hope you will check back again as I am in the process of recording some more videos like this! Best wishes with your classical training and please keep me posted!
Thank you for taking the time to write to me! It is my hope that with this video and the many other excellent video tutorials on this piece you are able to learn this on your own. Please keep me posted on your progress!
Thank you for taking the time to comment and let me know that this helped you--best wishes with this piece and please keep me posted on your piano playing! Best wishes
Very cool and helpful instruction! Thank you. I find it hard to determine what notes line up where (left vs right), etc. I hope you eventually cover all the nocturnes, preludes, waltzes, etudes, and Beethoven sonatas... : )
I am glad you find it helpful! All of this notation can be very tricky. Yes I hope to make Quick Tips for many of the standard literature. Please let me know if you have any particular questions or pieces in mind!
Thank you for letting me know. Currently C# minor opus posthumous is in the works as well as OP. 32 #1 in B major--don't know exactly when they will post but pretty soon. I appreciate you watching! Best wishes
I am so glad you found it helpful. Thank you for watching and I hope you subscribe--I am working on some other Chopin tutorials which will be posted in the near future. Best wishes on your piano playing!
Thanks for this video. Some of the mordents are difficult to play also, with the 3-4-3 fingering. With all the mordents and trills, and together with how to play the LH soft while moving across octaves, this nocturne may as well have been an etude. (Per Greg Niemchuk.) FWIW, the version that I obtained had a mordent in measure 30 rather than a trill (not that it is that much easier).
Thank you for your comment. Yes I think this is a very tricky Nocturne to be sure. Thank you for the info re. measure 30. As I have progressed on my channel I started comparing more versions, in this one I just used the Henle edition which is the one I learned on, so am glad to know there are other options with some of the ornaments
I am so happy that you found it helpful and that you took the time to comment. Have fun with this wonderful piece and please keep me posted on your piano playing!
Excellent explanation. Bit confused with the first turn on the C. I was taught that for the turn the first note is the one above the written note. You seem to play the C first. It sounds great and better than playing the D flat first but is this strictly a turn. Thanks
Yes--As I have evolved with my channel I am including more options and this turn is done both the way I showed and the way you learned. Pick the one that works best for you and go with it. And keep me posted on your progress!
Is there a trick for playing that cadenza well without getting finger-tied after awhile? I just can't seem to play the right 4-note pattern more than maybe 6-8 times before it all just falls apart!
I wish I could say yes, but the answer is it is just difficult. I can only play it when I am really in shape. My suggestions would be to 1) pace it slow-fast-slow, so determine how many of them will be on the slower side, and then how many fast, and how many slow and then 2) make sure each group of 4 gets one impetus or down motion, if you are pounding out every single note you will definitely get fatigued. Hope this helps. And build up to a fast speed--this will take time.
Thanks for the video! Do you have tipps for the cadenza trill at 9:47? I can't play it even and only very slowly or I'll play C B Bb A instead of B Bb C A.
Thank you for watching! That trill is extremely difficult. I can never get it as fast as I would like! Some suggestions would be make sure to use fingers 3-2-5-1 and keep your wrist high, make sure your kunckles are really firm (first knuckle), make sure to have a good connection on finger 3 (feel it anchor to the bottom of the key) and pedal is on. It is successful if you start slow, get fast and then slow again. Also I have seen people split up the notes in the trill before, can't say I would recommend that but thought I would tell you anyway. For that method the LH would play B and Bb with fingers 1 and 3, and RH plays C and A with 3 and 1. For me that doesn't work very well but people do it.
Glad you enjoyed this and thank you for taking the time to comment. I will put the Bach on my list of tutorials and will let you know when it is up. FYI there are lots of ways to do ornaments in the Bach so you have some flexibility there if you are already working on it.
@@OlympiaPiano thank you! Meanwhile I will watch your videos about some arpeggios that I need to work. Your channel seems underated, deserve more followers.
Thanks for your support--it is a fairly new channel so hopefully with time it will grow. Feel free to share with anyone who you think may benefit. Always a great idea to practice arpeggios for sure!!!! I will let you know when I have the Bach done, probably in mid-July .
Minuet in G ornaments have been uploaded! Also working on a short one regarding articulation. I hope you like it! th-cam.com/video/RqdgzAgoheY/w-d-xo.html
🙏🍃🍂🍃👄💋Thanks to Master for your tutoriel. But I would like you to °^^° Articulate your pronunciation in English. You seemed to speak to yourself. Beware of good Englisf accent 🙏🙏🙏

Incredibly helpful- I’ve spent a lot of time attempting to decipher how these ornaments should be played. This You Tube piece explains them perfectly.
