  • Pianist Henrik Kilhamn goes through Chopin's E minor Nocturne, an early work published posthumously. The heartbreaking tragedy in the initial melody turns unexpectedly to hope and reconciliation in sections in major.

    The theme is not hope Mr. Snowden, it's more like acceptance. Chopin wrote this piece after his sister died of tuberculosis. The whole piece is tragic & melancholic, the major sections are bittersweet & at the end, there is just the realization that nothing can bring back his sister, & that all he can do is accept that reality & strangely enough, that brings some level of peace. I guess closure might be a better word.

    Hi Henrik, may I ask, how does the polyrhythm work with this piece? Is this 2 to 3 polyrhythm throughout the piece, or is it 3/4 polyrhythm? Do I align the right and left hand and play both in the same rhythm? Thank so much!

    • @SonataSecrets
      @SonataSecrets  ปีที่แล้ว

      It's mostly 2:3 (one 4:3 and some faster), you lign up the first note together and then the next note together, then play each hand in their right rhythm. 2:3 is best to start to learn, other polyrhythm can come after that. I show a bit about it in a video on Chopin's Fantasie-Impromptu (there it's 4:3 though, but the same principle).

    Be blessed for your incredible work Henrik.
    You made me start piano and discover such lovely pieces.
    If I had a music teacher like you when I was a kid ...
    Just a question : you treat a lot of "expert pieces", which is great, but not always affordable when you are not a professional. So, do you think, it'd be possible for you, to rank every pieces you treat - let's say from 1 to 10 - to help us. I mean if I see a Bach prelude ranked to 3, or a Chopin's nocturne to 8, it is a lot of information to decide if I can consider to start playing the considered piece.
    Anyway great job !

    • @SonataSecrets
      @SonataSecrets  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks! Hm well it's one of those things that if you practice long enough one day you can do it. It's about the hands becoming autonomous enough. I show a little bit about it in the video on Fantaisie-Impromptu here: th-cam.com/video/DxJjle5MKE8/w-d-xo.html
      Also in this particular place, practice first without the trill.

      Interesting! There is one of the Chopin Nocturnes, B major Op 32 no 1 that ends in B minor, kind of a reverse picardy, but in a quite extended way in the coda. (Haven't done a video on that one either unfortunately!)
