My piano teacher has been with me for 5 years and I'm moving out to college soon. I asked him that I wanted this piece to be a final goodbye and a thank you to him and all he's done for me. He said well work on it together and hopefully we'll get through it before I graduate and go to college. This has always been an emotional piece to me and I want it to be good final one.
Good Luck man! Have a good life afterwards remember continue with piano, try your best with college and there are so much Good stuff out there afterwards as one door closes and another opens. :D
I heard this playing when I was 4 years old. Sitting on my grand fathers bed as he died. I don't have any traumatic memories of that event. This music brings back the love in the room at that moment. He knew he was dying and asked for this to be played on his record player. It was peaceful. Although I don't have bad memories, it still brings a tear to my eye 50 years on. RIP Grand dad xx
My recently deceased father used to play that piece well. I remember him playing it as a young kid. Maybe not great like this video. but, it inspired me to try to learn to play this piece at a high level, which remains elusive.
My piano teacher and I were going through this together, then COVID happened and I was lazy about playing. She was 92 and passed away this year, I’ve started playing again and this was one of our last pieces together.
Chopin’s music always seems to mimic the heart and the soul. My piano teacher has a repertoire of Chopin to learn. The emotional range is unbelievable.
With all the comments here, mine will surely be lost but here goes. Our senior class play (1957) featured music by Chopin. This particular work, played from a LP record, brings back memories like no other that played that night. Beautifully played here. Thank you from an 81 year old softie. BTW, the name of the play was Prelude. That's was the reason for Chopin's music.
At some point we just have our memories to sustain us. In 1962, I began studying Chopin and was really good before leaving high school, even though I played Bach more often. So I am thankful that TH-cam offers these reminders.
This piece feels something like the end of someone's journey/life and all of the things he/she went through starts flashing in his/her mind, all of the good and bad times.
RadioactiveDragonite welp just imagine you lived during his time. 😂 I recently found out that he dedicated his 3 nocturnes to his students including this one that’s why I thought about it.
This song has Sadness, Hopelessness, yet a sense of Happiness and calm, and it invokes emotions in people, that is what music is supposed to do, this music starts with a feeling of no way out but still makes you feel like there might be a way out, or happily giving up, music doing its work perfectly, thanks Chopin.
@@editname6868 Maybe sad was the wrong word, but I don't think this is the happiest of pieces. Peaceful, yes, but I feel as though this would be associated with the emotions after the loss of someone; maybe in the acceptance stage of grief. I dunno.

Thank you Rousseau for inspiring me. A year ago I started this song, and now I’ve just finished it. Even being a low level didn’t stop me from attempting one of my dream songs. Don’t let let anything stop you from achieving your goals no matter what. ❤
As someone who's learning this piece, any of you who want to learn it I can tell you this: it takes time and patience. I'd consider myself a decent piano player, I started playing when I was 6 years old and I'm now 28. However, I wasn't as consistent with practice growing up as I should have been and there was a period of years where I hardly played since I only had access to an electric keyboard. Now I have an Accoustic piano and it's great to try to learn this piece. If you are a serious player, the left hand part is arguably the hardest to learn in the beginning. If you practice frequently and consistently, you will get it down and unknowing memorize the music which is a HUGE help so you can focus on your hands instead of the music. At least for me, that was always a big advantage to memorizing music. Don't give up! If you need to walk away from it for a week or so, sometimes that actually helps. But just keep practicing.
I know this is very old but thanks for the encouragement! It just happens I'm in the same boat as you. I studied the piano since I was 6 years old but...a lot of things happened and the last years I leaved it in the side, I´m 23 right now. This year I have more time in my hands so I wanted to come back and I was practicing for a while. Then I stumbled into this masterpiece, I always liked this song but for some reason I never learned it. So...it's really hard, and my long hiatus don't really help, but I will keep going until I get this right. Funny thing, I came to watch this video because I wanted to hear how it sounds, so yeah, memorizing helps a lot...
You asked for it, and here it is! A beautiful piece for a beautiful audience. I've had some great suggestions of pieces to perform recently, and some are slowly coming to fruition. What would you like to hear?
I'm learning this piece. I'll be back once I finish this. Edit: Yooo, I totally forgot about this comment. Yes, I finished it in about a month and a half and in these 4 months I also finished learning Op. 64 No. 2 and Gymnopédie no. 1. I'm currently learning Waltz of the Flowers. Sorry for the very late reply
this piece makes me feel something that’s hard to explain. the feeling that your days are repeating the same thing over and over, as you slowly start to wear down until there’s nothing left to wear down. waking up each day with darker and darker eyebags, until at the end when your time finally comes. you pass away feeling like you never got to where you wanted to be.
Imagine playing this, 1960’s New York and you’re wealthy, sitting in an apartment at night looking out the window this playing in the background and a glass of wine. Sounds lovely
hae chan that’s what happened with me an violin when I was younger. I hated it and it put me off the instrument. Piano was something I was not forced into, so that made it much more enjoyabke
How I miss my son playing this one for me. . .he spent hours playing many of Chopin pieces. He would not let me record him, he only ask for me to sit & listen. I remember 😢 with such joy as I am now listening to this piece. Miss you my Nick! ❤
SpookMeister traumatized about what? This piece really isn’t that difficult to learn and it’s super repetitive do your hands just memorize everything quickly
It's like in a movie when it is the end of the world and everything has gone quiet except the music and the main character is walking/running with explosions everywhere
There are no words to describe how amazing the melody gets from 3:35 to 3:34. Especially 3:42, I mean my feelings are so tense when listening to that part. So, so brilliant.
legit every chopin piece in existence looks easy from the synesthesia tutorial, hard when you look at the score, then fucking impossible when you try and play it
This fits the vibe of someone sitting at a dimly lit bar, a man sits casually sipping at his beverage. Death physically emerges from a nearby door and steps out. He lays his skeletal, yet animate hand on the man's shoulder. He quietly utters in a deep yet smooth voice, "it's time to go now." the man then takes a picture of his family out of his pocket and glances one more time at it, a single tear falls onto the photograph and the man puts the photo back in his pocket. The duo exits the bar in a flare of smoke, never to be seen again.
This may be an answer to a question that wasn‘t asked but the reason for having such strong feelings when listening to this kind of music is Chopin and Rousseau. Chopin composed this incredible piece pouring his heart and soul into. Rousseau makes this memory on a piece of paper come to life! And we experience this blast of joy through our phone or computer. Im greatful to be alive
This piece makes me feel like I somehow existed before. I've never believed in reincarnation but when I heard this for the very first time, I felt something so significant in myself.
Well actually I have similar problems. When I listen to certain songs I get nostalgias, but of memories that never actually even happened. They are quite certain about themselves, but never existed.
Apparently my mom put this song on with a speaker towards her stomach when she was pregnant with me so maybe it’s like a repressed memory from when I was extremely smol
0:04 I can picture myself standing in front of the gravestone of someone I love. With a gentle smile, I remembering the times when we lived together. 3:07 I started talking softly in front of her tombstone. I'm talking about our child growing up well. 3:35 My eyes started to water. I expressed that our child missed her. 3:43 With tears that I couldn't hold back anymore, I said that I really missed her. I really wish the days we spent together could happen again. 3:54 I wiped my tears and smiled. I put flowers on her grave and turned around. Then I said "Don't worry about us. Sleep well, I love you," and I walked away.
This is so beautiful, it is making me cry. I searched it up when one of the songwriters of "How Deep is your love" was influenced by this piece. I can hear it. Pure beauty and light.
Piano Teacher: We'll be learning this song Me listening to it: *oh it's so eas-* *SEES MUSIC SHEET* 911 WHAT'S YOUR EMERGENCY Anyways at first I was a confused potato but it's relatively easy after you learn it well.
God I love this piece. And displaying it with the sliding lights like the way you have makes me appreciate the difficulty of this piece so much more. Thank you
After 6 months of work, I’ve finally completed this masterpiece today, I am so proud of myself, and I am only 12 years old! Even though I was reading the sheet music, I still thank you to let everyone hear this masterpiece that. If I decided to play this piece, it is because of you! Thanks to you and Chopin and you did an amazing performance!
When I heard this nocturne for the first time, I immediately started crying. Seemingly enough, when I showed this to my friend for the first time, they immediately started crying. This piece provokes emotions like no other, you literally only have to hear the first few notes, and your heart softens.
It’s so fascinating how music with no words can bring tears to our eyes. I think one of the more beautiful things about life is being moved by music. Especially classical music in that we can all get something from it without ever having to utter a single word.
When my teacher gave me sheets to this piece, I seriously doubted if I can play it - it's been only 2 years since I started seriously learning piano, but here I am, after 2 months. I did it! So good luck to everyone that want to learn this piece! You can do it!
@@alerodriguez3951 you guys are so lucky for taking a piano lesson, i've never had a lesson before. So i can't read a partiture. But it's still same for us! Just finished this piece today even tho the practice way we're using are different
I've always avoided listening to this piece due to its popularity, but I faced a lot of mental struggles with my social life, and got ghosted by my crush. This piece hits different ever since, and I will never hear it the same way again
I had forgotten how moved I can feel by any classical music and seeing this on my page and listening to it has reminded me how beautiful Chopin's music truly is
there was once a time when I really hated piano. I almost quit because of one stupid teacher. im so glad I didn't because I am now about to learn this amazing piece!!
@@IngridCarson-s7z Hey, its actually pretty simple. It ain't that complex ; I am in grade 4 and i could learn it in less than 2 weeks of practice. just focus on the left hand first, and then the melody with the right, together, it sounds beautiful!
@@Dream_chickenOh Thanks,I'll try and see how I go.Well done on learning it,it must sound really nice.I'm sure it makes you proud you can play it.I'll definitely take your advice and learn the left hand first,thanks.
A note to non pianists-: This sounded easy to play and you would probably be thinking why Rousseau was a bit ( a little bit ) off beat.... That's not true..... Its actually very hard to play... Even Rousseau is so brilliant that he can play it on beat and better that 99 % pianists .
@@lucassen6188 he was off beat on a few notes 2 notes at the start look at his D, G Eb, Bb G progression his timing is off as he rushed to the D as he almost went to repeat the Eb version its a common muscle memory mistake lol but he performed it brilliantly it's a hard song too as the pedalling has to be insanely accurate otherwise it appears muddy
This is the most fascinating, beautiful piece of art ever heard. The precision and balance on the speed, the transition, the art is such a beauty to our life, and this is something I would listen to everyday.
One of my all-time favorites! I learned this masterpiece about 30 years ago then I stopped playing the piano, got lazy and moved on to playing the guitar, then the keyboard, then the ukulele. All of a sudden there is this sudden desire in me to start playing the piano again. I started re-learning Fuer Elise and I did good. Then I decided to play this Noturne again and I never thought it was this hard! But I am not giving up...may 2-3 months of practice...maybe a year...and I will play this piece again but definitely not as good as you.
I come to this song to find comfort, my 7th grade teacher used to play this song in the mornings while we would be working on our daily ELA worksheets. That was of course before corona started. I remember walking in on the day before our school shutdown, it was a normal day all my friends and I messing around in ELA class. Hearing this song and telling my friends that I would look for it to do my ELA for those "2 weeks" later turning into months, resulting in my 7th grade year being lost. Activities we never got to do, projects we never finished, band concerts that we never even practiced for. Gone. As I'm writing this I tear up knowing I may never go back to my elementary school where I made all my friends, all these memories. Call me dramatic I just wish I could stay in 7th. I called it the worst year of my life, but truly it was the best. I'm now overwhelmed with anxiety of 8th grade, all these tests. I won't forget the smile and wave me and my friends did to each other before leaving. "See you in 2 weeks Camila!" And with that our smiles faded and we were to never finish our 7th grade year.- Camila Vargas September 18, Friday 2020 8:55pm
I feel the same too I'm sad my friends gone all they said to me was "Bye Daniela we love you".All I remember is their smiles and our best times together when we ran and stuff.
this piece and gymnopedie no 1 are like, musical interpretations of two different types of melancholy gymnopedie no 1 is staying up all night and listening to the rain, this piece is realizing it’s morning and leaving the house at dawn, smelling the rain and heading to the train station to commute to work and go on with your day, while the feeling lingers
To those who aren’t that experienced with piano and wish to play this Nocturne, I will warn you that this piece is harder than it looks. To be frank, this Nocturne is by no means a beginner piece and will likely take at least a couple years of learning the piano to actually learn this piece. Don’t be discouraged though, cuz once you get to the point where you can play this Nocturne wonderfully, the payoff is more than worth it.
this was the first classical music i've ever heard, and i fell inlove with it, my dad knew that this was my favorite and he wants to see me play this to him, but unfortunately my dad can't hear all of his life, and when he did have his hearing aid- i played this to him. he just stare at me at cried.
This particular Chopin piece has always made me smile and yet feel a sense of sad nostalgia. It’s almost indescribable. But if I had to pick a word it would be peaceful. A bittersweet repose.
My piano teacher has been with me for 5 years and I'm moving out to college soon. I asked him that I wanted this piece to be a final goodbye and a thank you to him and all he's done for me. He said well work on it together and hopefully we'll get through it before I graduate and go to college. This has always been an emotional piece to me and I want it to be good final one.
Good Luck man! Have a good life afterwards remember continue with piano, try your best with college and there are so much Good stuff out there afterwards as one door closes and another opens. :D
Good luckb

However, I wasn't as consistent with practice growing up as I should have been and there was a period of years where I hardly played since I only had access to an electric keyboard. Now I have an Accoustic piano and it's great to try to learn this piece. If you are a serious player, the left hand part is arguably the hardest to learn in the beginning. If you practice frequently and consistently, you will get it down and unknowing memorize the music which is a HUGE help so you can focus on your hands instead of the music. At least for me, that was always a big advantage to memorizing music. Don't give up! If you need to walk away from it for a week or so, sometimes that actually helps. But just keep practicing.
I know this is very old but thanks for the encouragement!
It just happens I'm in the same boat as you. I studied the piano since I was 6 years old but...a lot of things happened and the last years I leaved it in the side, I´m 23 right now. This year I have more time in my hands so I wanted to come back and I was practicing for a while. Then I stumbled into this masterpiece, I always liked this song but for some reason I never learned it.
So...it's really hard, and my long hiatus don't really help, but I will keep going until I get this right. Funny thing, I came to watch this video because I wanted to hear how it sounds, so yeah, memorizing helps a lot...
I started playing piano 1 year ago and i can play it in 1 week (on holidays) so it's possible
Just started ton learn it haha... like the first part, until the 34th second of the song. Still have a long way to go.
I am so so impatient and cannot read music so it seems like I have to start at the very beginning which is so frustrating. 😭😭
Thanks
You asked for it, and here it is! A beautiful piece for a beautiful audience. I've had some great suggestions of pieces to perform recently, and some are slowly coming to fruition. What would you like to hear?
Would love to hear Chopin's Op.25 No.5

this piece makes me feel something that’s hard to explain. the feeling that your days are repeating the same thing over and over, as you slowly start to wear down until there’s nothing left to wear down. waking up each day with darker and darker eyebags, until at the end when your time finally comes. you pass away feeling like you never got to where you wanted to be.
This piece does suit that image very well
It can also signify a brief period of repetitive struggle for achieving something
Sometimes i feel like some days happened before or like i already knew somethings that just came out, its so weird

Non-Musicians: OMG I love this SONG Me who is a pianist: *triggered*
Musicians after practicing : This feels like heaven !
I'm a beginner so I still feel the relaxation of it but when I open my eyes and see his hands I'm traumatized
Jaja true
SpookMeister traumatized about what? This piece really isn’t that difficult to learn and it’s super repetitive do your hands just memorize everything quickly
Even though this song is calm, I always picture complete fucking chaos when I hear it, and I don't know why
no you’re right, I imagine it too. Like, “let’s make the chaos peaceful”
This song makes me depressed always
Same same I always get the movie hit man in mind when I hear this lol like he just got done blowing some shit up or something.
It's like in a movie when it is the end of the world and everything has gone quiet except the music and the main character is walking/running with explosions everywhere
wednesday deez who sir
There are no words to describe how amazing the melody gets from 3:35 to 3:34.
Especially 3:42, I mean my feelings are so tense when listening to that part. So, so brilliant.
Beautiful part there. Chopin truly was a genius. It's a shame that classical music isn't made like this anymore.
@@brandonmckown9952
They do its just not popular

To make it seem easy when it is actually super hard
agree lmaooo. i tried mastering one of his piece and my hand gon brr brr
it’s actually really easy if you’ve ever played some of chopin’s other pieces
legit every chopin piece in existence looks easy from the synesthesia tutorial, hard when you look at the score, then fucking impossible when you try and play it
it's easier compared to most of his pieces tbh
took me 2 months to learn LMAO
This fits the vibe of someone sitting at a dimly lit bar, a man sits casually sipping at his beverage. Death physically emerges from a nearby door and steps out. He lays his skeletal, yet animate hand on the man's shoulder. He quietly utters in a deep yet smooth voice, "it's time to go now." the man then takes a picture of his family out of his pocket and glances one more time at it, a single tear falls onto the photograph and the man puts the photo back in his pocket. The duo exits the bar in a flare of smoke, never to be seen again.
Dude stop...😭😭💔...
bruh... this is so vivid :((
Damn dude
Reminds me of the Van Gough painting of the bar
Damn, that made me sad
This may be an answer to a question that wasn‘t asked but the reason for having such strong feelings when listening to this kind of music is Chopin and Rousseau. Chopin composed this incredible piece pouring his heart and soul into. Rousseau makes this memory on a piece of paper come to life! And we experience this blast of joy through our phone or computer. Im greatful to be alive

The classical composers were all pure geniuses . Still loved by many more than 200 years later.
This piece makes me feel like I somehow existed before. I've never believed in reincarnation but when I heard this for the very first time, I felt something so significant in myself.
I feel the same !
Nostalgia is the answer..
Well actually I have similar problems. When I listen to certain songs I get nostalgias, but of memories that never actually even happened. They are quite certain about themselves, but never existed.
Apparently my mom put this song on with a speaker towards her stomach when she was pregnant with me so maybe it’s like a repressed memory from when I was extremely smol

3:35 My eyes started to water. I expressed that our child missed her.
3:43 With tears that I couldn't hold back anymore, I said that I really missed her. I really wish the days we spent together could happen again.

When I heard this nocturne for the first time, I immediately started crying. Seemingly enough, when I showed this to my friend for the first time, they immediately started crying.

When my teacher gave me sheets to this piece, I seriously doubted if I can play it - it's been only 2 years since I started seriously learning piano, but here I am, after 2 months. I did it! So good luck to everyone that want to learn this piece! You can do it!

Everybody gangsta until you have to learn the left hand.
haha true I can comfirm but playing both hands is the challenge here.
Usually it just takes less than a day to practice 30 seconds of this piece for me, i only have abt a month of experience on the piano
i can say that this is the least technical song by chopin which anybody can learn in 30 days

I went through the same stress when I learned this
I had forgotten how moved I can feel by any classical music and seeing this on my page and listening to it has reminded me how beautiful Chopin's music truly is

A note to non pianists-:
This sounded easy to play and you would probably be thinking why Rousseau was a bit ( a little bit ) off beat....
That's not true.....
Its actually very hard to play...
Even Rousseau is so brilliant that he can play it on beat and better that 99 % pianists .
When was He off beat?
@@lucassen6188 he was off beat on a few notes 2 notes at the start look at his D, G Eb, Bb G progression his timing is off as he rushed to the D as he almost went to repeat the Eb version its a common muscle memory mistake lol but he performed it brilliantly it's a hard song too as the pedalling has to be insanely accurate otherwise it appears muddy
À aucun moment je me suis dit "Cette chanson est si simple à jouer", et je suis non pianiste 😊
As a pianist, this is pretty easy to play.
@@_acea4171 i know
This is the most fascinating, beautiful piece of art ever heard. The precision and balance on the speed, the transition, the art is such a beauty to our life, and this is something I would listen to everyday.
Rousseau is god of piano.
One of my all-time favorites! I learned this masterpiece about 30 years ago then I stopped playing the piano, got lazy and moved on to playing the guitar, then the keyboard, then the ukulele. All of a sudden there is this sudden desire in me to start playing the piano again. I started re-learning Fuer Elise and I did good. Then I decided to play this Noturne again and I never thought it was this hard! But I am not giving up...may 2-3 months of practice...maybe a year...and I will play this piece again but definitely not as good as you.
This song will be played at the end of the world with curtains rolling down
Aye, but will the pianist be at liberty to respond to a call for encore"?
no I would think Chopin - Nocturne Op. 48 No. 1 would be played during the end of the world

I come to this song to find comfort, my 7th grade teacher used to play this song in the mornings while we would be working on our daily ELA worksheets. That was of course before corona started. I remember walking in on the day before our school shutdown, it was a normal day all my friends and I messing around in ELA class. Hearing this song and telling my friends that I would look for it to do my ELA for those "2 weeks" later turning into months, resulting in my 7th grade year being lost. Activities we never got to do, projects we never finished, band concerts that we never even practiced for. Gone. As I'm writing this I tear up knowing I may never go back to my elementary school where I made all my friends, all these memories. Call me dramatic I just wish I could stay in 7th. I called it the worst year of my life, but truly it was the best. I'm now overwhelmed with anxiety of 8th grade, all these tests. I won't forget the smile and wave me and my friends did to each other before leaving. "See you in 2 weeks Camila!" And with that our smiles faded and we were to never finish our 7th grade year.- Camila Vargas September 18, Friday 2020 8:55pm
I feel the same too I'm sad my friends gone all they said to me was "Bye Daniela we love you".All I remember is their smiles and our best times together when we ran and stuff.
Krishiela's PlayTime Yeah, it hurts even more because someone I really cared about moved away because of corona. I hate corona.
this piece and gymnopedie no 1 are like, musical interpretations of two different types of melancholy
gymnopedie no 1 is staying up all night and listening to the rain, this piece is realizing it’s morning and leaving the house at dawn, smelling the rain and heading to the train station to commute to work and go on with your day, while the feeling lingers
To those who aren’t that experienced with piano and wish to play this Nocturne, I will warn you that this piece is harder than it looks. To be frank, this Nocturne is by no means a beginner piece and will likely take at least a couple years of learning the piano to actually learn this piece. Don’t be discouraged though, cuz once you get to the point where you can play this Nocturne wonderfully, the payoff is more than worth it.
I learned this as my first piece in 7 months of playing piano but I want to sound better
