You hear these sounds, they sound like pearls glistening in the sun. At first they are shy and gentle, and then like a powerful thunder that suddenly goes out. It's Chopin's music, you hear the silence that Chopin plays ... it's a genius ...
I do not know any music that shakes my soul like Chopin's music does. I play a few pieces ( the "easy" ones ) by Chopin, and regret that I did not keep studying the piano when I was younger, as now for me it will be impossible to play difficult pieces, like the Polonnaises, I LOVE THEM....
@@annacanilli1877If that saddens you, don’t be so certain of what tomorrow will bring! Life is but a roulette. Sometimes you get this, sometimes you get that. The secret is to be present in the moment, enjoying whatever work your hands find to do. If both hands labour, much grief comes. You lose the joy of inner satisfaction from your own hard work. The secret is to work with one hand whatever you are doing now, and with the other open-palms, receiving and adapting to the seasons above you. You can always be one day older and wiser than the day before. You never lose the satisfaction of appreciating something if you truly love it. You still have that. Who knows? One day you might find yourself playing literally again. We just never know what tomorrow will bring. Wherever you are in life, I highly recommend the Book of Ecclesiastes to sober you up.
God, this piece is so ridiculously beautiful. I feel like 'beautiful' doesn't even quite describe how I feel about this piece. I can't find the words to describe it, but it's one of my favorite pieces by Chopin, and Chopin is one of my favorite composers. It's played so exquisitely here! It's a piece I would love to play myself sometime.
I totally agree! The way he played it was so beautiful, especially the ending with how delicately he did play all of the cadenzas and how he made it sound so fluid. Chopin was a genius when it came to composing for piano.
Amon Goth, the SS officer in charge of Plaszow concentration camp (Ralph Fiennes in Schindlers list) let two Jewish sisters live because one of them played this perfectly for him on his birthday. Beautiful music to a chilling fact.
Kinda the same with what happened to the Polish pianist in the movie The Pianist. I guess being a pianist during WW2 surely had it's perks, especially if you're a Jew.
I love this piece, it is just really beautiful and sublime (Is sublime even the right word?). I just feel the grief and sadness about Chopin. This is also my favourite Chopin piece. Also, the runs at the very end are just continuous. Li Yundi did a beautiful job of interpreting this Nocturne.
I like your trills, they sound natural and attractive like continuation of the melody which is difficult to do. Most pianists cannot do it, even famous ones. So bravo, Yundi Li. Your performance is simple and beautiful like I would emagine Chopin would play.
Beautiful rendition of this piece. Some people might think that there are some notes missing in Yundi Li's playing, because the sheet music edition Yundi Li uses is not what is displayed in the video. He probably used the Koneman Urtext edition.
@@FelineRock It's probably the easiest nocturne but in general I would avoid trying to learn the nocturnes until you have at least grade 7+ on piano. Although at the end of the day if you enjoy playing it, why not give it a go.
here reminiscing my grade 7 B piece. the ending scales were a pain to play, but this piece was so goddamn beautiful all those hours of practice was worth it.
It is so interesting when the scores are provided as visuals. I like lots of things about this. For one thing he makes the most beautiful sound and the range of colours is exquisite. But somehow, looking at the notes, I'm thinking that there are dynamics which are being ignored. All artists have to make decisions when interpreting a piece but for me what really makes this music "sing" is when the surface gets ruffled. Although these pieces were mostly performed by the composer in salons, they could never be described as salon music and what stops them from drifting towards this are the sometimes strange dynamics. The have to be embraced and absorbed properly so that they enhance rather than detract from the overall effect.
Ok, BUT it is a nocturne... so I completely get going toning down the dynamics slightly and not going all out like one would on a Mazurka or other dances like that
the slower versions always hit harder. more emotion in them! this guy was in a hurry and I don't understand why its a beautiful song when played slowly@@abcd-yg2rx
0:32 I love everything about this performance, except this part - why did Yundi Li change the bass note to F sharp from D sharp? It changes the whole harmony.
This is such a difficult piece for me because...althougth I can play the 'notes' just fine....when I PLAY THE MUSIC, the sound, the feel, the soul of this piece, I get emotional, and get lost almost in the motifs, the phrasing, the dynamics. It makes me cry sometimes. Easy to play the notes mostly - hard to choke through the emotions of this piece when you make it music, not button pushing.
Ehi, tu non sai che cosa ho visto Giallo tra le mani di mio padre Che alle si accende già una Winston Che mi guarda con la faccia Di uno che è sconfitto ma comunque ha vinto Vita intera spesa a fare sacrifici per accontentare un figlio Tu non sai che cosa ho visto Un altro me uscire di casa La mattina presto e sbattere la porta Mamma piange al posto mio Soltanto per cercare di darmi la forza Anche sta volta è andata storta E poi non sa cos’altro dire Se non che dopo aver toccato il fondo Non si scende, puoi solo salire Tu non sai che cosa ho visto I muri fatti di cemento Tinti con le pare dentro la mia stanza La paura che per gli altri non ero abbastanza Porgevo sempre l’altra guancia Mentre aspettavo la campana a scuola Chiuso dentro a un cesso Coi conati e il Depakin in tasca Compagnia di pazzi con le scarpe sporche E con i buchi nelle tute Doppie facce come prismi Che vedevi meglio messi in controluce Un macello di problemi Sembrava che ci andassi a caccia La delusione vista in uno specchio Giuro, aveva la mia stessa faccia Tu non sai che cosa ho visto I miei andare in tribunale La causa vinta ma tu per mio padre eri un fratello E per me sei un infame Il male che gli hai fatto è così grande Che purtroppo non si anestetizza Ti avessi qua davanti Non ti toccherei nemmeno, che la merda schizza Ore in quel conservatorio Sognavo di farci la storia Ma poi le cose vanno male Se butti il tuo tempo appresso ad una troia Sto piano l’ho suonato io Perché non riesco a stare senza Gli esami frate non li ho dati Nemmeno quello di coscienza L’anno scorso stavo male Ho chiuso il disco in ospedale Ci stavo rimanendo, potevo curarmi meglio Tanto è da buttare In Cristo non ci ho mai creduto Dico grazie a me se ho preso il treno in corsa Sto disco nuovo non l’ho chiuso Ce l’avevo scritto in testa come Mozart Mi ero scordato come ridere Sentito gente fra che scrive per far pena E gente che fa pena a scrivere Vorrei insegnargli come vivere Sai mi spiace fino a adesso Non mi sono aperto, ho parlato degli altri Non ho mai parlato di me È che non volevo spaventarvi Ora sono Zzala, figlio di puttana Sta uscendo il mio disco fra’ chiuditi in casa L’ho fatto per me prima che per la grana Per togliermi il culo da in mezzo a una strada Tu non sai che cosa ho visto Date chiuse senza disco Parla parla, sono il Diablo Con le Nike nere frate ribadisco Rido sui periodi grigi Sto fottendo anche la crisi Rappo in skate come Weezy Ma con un paio di Yeezy Easy, come Booba la tua gente esclusa Il tuo trio, Medusa Il mio trio, beh scusa Senti me, fra’ che flow Sento te, fra’ che babbo Sono in fissa con sto camel toe Mo’ la schiaccio, Camel double Sono morto, fra’ Tupac Shakur Zzala frate, c’ho una marcia in più Porta la tua tipa al tuo concerto Così frate c’è una marcia in più yeah Faccio il botto come a Boston Svolto un K solo con le rime Così frate sento un po’ il denaro Me ne vado a letto con un Rolly addosso

Whoa you're right, it could be a mistake, or he could be playing with a different edition. Chopin was known to edit his pieces between publications in different countries, resulting in a number of different scores. Since this was published posthumously who knows, maybe it there was discrepancy between editors. It's strange, but F# minor isn't bad here, just not as colorful.
i have a Henle Urtext edition and it has f sharp minor. That is also logical because in the bar before it goes to c sharp major, which is the dominant of f sharp

Sometimes I just like to read the comments and listen to the piece. It’s amazing listening to it through everyone interpretations
Same here exactly what I’m doing en 😊😂
my best of all the nocturnes
For me it is ONE OF the best nocturnes, individual jewels each with their own unique shine.
Op. 48 No. 1
I don‘t know why but I always love pieces which are written in C sharp Minor. Is this just me? 🙊
Prelude Rachmaninoff, moonlight sonata, nocturn Chopin
@@MusikschuleClavina fantaisie impromptu
And me
I simply love genius music. 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁🦋💐
I also, because the tone and the frequency is quite beautiful
I think chopin wrote this as practice for his piano concerto no. 2 . If you haven't heard I highly recommend that you do.
One of the best pieces ever
Chopin Etudes nice insight, thank you
If I’m not mistaken this was a piece written for his sister
That's exactly what I was thinking! Some of the themes are exactly identical.
Jesus Carbonell It was.
Amon Goth, the SS officer in charge of Plaszow concentration camp (Ralph Fiennes in Schindlers list) let two Jewish sisters live because one of them played this perfectly for him on his birthday. Beautiful music to a chilling fact.
Did some more research on Google and the woman was Natalia Karp. Thank you for this historic info. God bless!

Have y'all ever noticed how often this one is used in movies?
^..^~~
Beautifully translated. Thank you for not rushing it...

Amo este "Noturno", quando ouço e toco, tenho uma sensação imensa de paz.
This Nocturne has been gloriously performed by the best pianists in the world. I find that this version by Yundi Li is the best.
Non rispetta proprio lo spartito però..
Try Władysław Szpilman's version. Played in year 1997. At his home. At his 86 years old.
I'd love to fall asleep in this beautiful piece of music. Love the way he plays.
It's so wonderful you posted the music to follow along with! Thank you!!
yundi li more like yundi lit
no
Since I’ve played this,my two cats have gone to sleep and are actually snoring their heads off,they love this.x
the best version by far of any pianist. absolutely wonderful.
I have to completely disagree with you
THAT'S AN OPINION!!!!
@@nimrodshefer3649 who do you think made the best version?
@@Mudschahid either Valentina lisitsa or Paul Barton
In my opinion.. Yundi Li is so good at playing chopin's nocturne series..
One of the best version I heard this song.
Extraordinary.
Beautiful
This magnificent performance is the humanity's lullaby
Mr Lee, your interpretation is the best.
Piękna muzyka. Uczta dla duszy i zmysłów. Dziękuję.
💗
Played this in a concerto last year , was magnificent , because of its slow rythm you are able to play it with so much emotions ..
I don’t think u played It in a concerto.
As if it’s true.
David Abou Karam did you mean concert? lol
rhythm* cant be slow, tempo can :)
yeah... there's many thing wrong with his sentence 0.o probably because english isn't his first language though

I'm playing this song and yes, it is so beautiful! Even though I'm the person playing it I find it amazing.
How difficult is this song? Im thinking of learning it.
@@FelineRock It's probably the easiest nocturne but in general I would avoid trying to learn the nocturnes until you have at least grade 7+ on piano. Although at the end of the day if you enjoy playing it, why not give it a go.

Love this piece! Wonderfully performed :) 👍
The best sentimental touching!
Grazie lazza per avermi fatto conoscere questo pezzo bellissimo
Przepiękne! Brawo!
This is by far the best version on the internet I think.
true! the cleanest for sure, i just wish it were slower
try the performance of Wladyslaw Szpilman is with more emotion i think
Listen Arrau.
@@eddiepacheco212 I also heard many versions of this song , some of them very slow and others faster
the slower versions always hit harder. more emotion in them! this guy was in a hurry and I don't understand why its a beautiful song when played slowly@@abcd-yg2rx
very beautiful composition
李云迪的肖邦真的弹得太好了❤
I always think of Adrien Brody in The Pianist when I hear this.
Esse noturno é maravilhoso
BELLISIMA MELODIA!¡AMO A CHOPIN!.
Beautifuly played!
Just Beautiful!
0:32 he performs different with his left hand at 7~8th bars (f# instead of d#)
Some people prefer f# as they think d# was a mistake, but I actually like d# more, it gives a little bit more depth.
Perfect!
I have just noticed that Enrique Granados took some of the chord progressions from that piece for one of his eight poetic waltzes.
wow! what a beautiful rendition!
Excellent performance
Merci. 👍👏
0:32 I love everything about this performance, except this part - why did Yundi Li change the bass note to F sharp from D sharp? It changes the whole harmony.
@@thelovelightliveventure I know it’s supposed to be D sharp. That’s what I said.
とても素敵な演奏ですね。
So sad and so beatifull.
С удовольствиеи слушаю эту замечательную музыку
Wow! My piece!!! That is my easyist noctune that I composed.
No, your easiest is Op. 15 No. 3. You don't seem to know your pieces.
You didn’t named it nocturne
Bravo! Best interpretation of this piece I know, very powerful and very moving!!!!
The best of all😍
Очень волнительно со слезами на глзах
There's something divine in this piece by Chopin. It comes from God, for sure.
no, it comes from Chopin
So beautiful
For me of the only 3 nocturnes I play, this is the easiest, but also the most beautiful, Chopin ALL A MAGIC
molto bravo complimenti... :)
Chapeau 👍👍👍🌹🌹🌹💐💐💐
I love this so much...
Yundi is best !
My ex used to play this for me. It was nice.

Should not have broken up with him/her.

Used to so she's back with you again?
1:23 - 1:27 Recognize this phrase? Chopin used it in one of his piano concertos. Can you guess which one?
My second favorite nocturne, after op.9 no.1. Interpreters do not matter!;)
Exquisite ❤
lovely
Whenever im sad or feel lonely i listen to Chopin then i am more sad and lonely....
Lindo demais!
Очень красиво!!!
I'm playing this song right now on piano and I probably listened to this more than 20 times 😂

Could you please post sheet music for the piece?
I love it 😍!

Yeah sheet music needed 😊?
Tobi Chan so should I just rake pictures of the music and attach it to your email?
@@desirelines141 its alright tho, i have already found one via the internet. Thanks 😊
Beautiful playing!
Thanx for sharing.
3:03 this part is so hard :/
No worries. If you can play it slowly, you can play it quickly😂
All of entirety might be like a singular song.
beautifully played
HAY UN ERROR EN EL COMPÁS 8 EN LA CLAVE DE FA, EN VEZ DE TOCAR D# DEBERÍA SER F# EN LA CUARTA LÍNEA
Hay diferentes versiones. Yo tengo una versión con F#, y otra en otro libro con D#. Casa de publicación.
@@eddygonzalez2328 entonces está equivocada tu versión donde tiene D#

Ehi, tu non sai che cosa ho visto
Giallo tra le mani di mio padre
Che alle si accende già una Winston
Che mi guarda con la faccia
Di uno che è sconfitto ma comunque ha vinto
Vita intera spesa a fare sacrifici per accontentare un figlio
Tu non sai che cosa ho visto
Un altro me uscire di casa
La mattina presto e sbattere la porta
Mamma piange al posto mio
Soltanto per cercare di darmi la forza
Anche sta volta è andata storta
E poi non sa cos’altro dire
Se non che dopo aver toccato il fondo
Non si scende, puoi solo salire
Tu non sai che cosa ho visto
I muri fatti di cemento
Tinti con le pare dentro la mia stanza
La paura che per gli altri non ero abbastanza
Porgevo sempre l’altra guancia
Mentre aspettavo la campana a scuola
Chiuso dentro a un cesso
Coi conati e il Depakin in tasca
Compagnia di pazzi con le scarpe sporche
E con i buchi nelle tute
Doppie facce come prismi
Che vedevi meglio messi in controluce
Un macello di problemi
Sembrava che ci andassi a caccia
La delusione vista in uno specchio
Giuro, aveva la mia stessa faccia
Tu non sai che cosa ho visto
I miei andare in tribunale
La causa vinta ma tu per mio padre eri un fratello
E per me sei un infame
Il male che gli hai fatto è così grande
Che purtroppo non si anestetizza
Ti avessi qua davanti
Non ti toccherei nemmeno, che la merda schizza
Ore in quel conservatorio
Sognavo di farci la storia
Ma poi le cose vanno male
Se butti il tuo tempo appresso ad una troia
Sto piano l’ho suonato io
Perché non riesco a stare senza
Gli esami frate non li ho dati
Nemmeno quello di coscienza
L’anno scorso stavo male
Ho chiuso il disco in ospedale
Ci stavo rimanendo, potevo curarmi meglio
Tanto è da buttare
In Cristo non ci ho mai creduto
Dico grazie a me se ho preso il treno in corsa
Sto disco nuovo non l’ho chiuso
Ce l’avevo scritto in testa come Mozart
Mi ero scordato come ridere
Sentito gente fra che scrive per far pena
E gente che fa pena a scrivere
Vorrei insegnargli come vivere
Sai mi spiace fino a adesso
Non mi sono aperto, ho parlato degli altri
Non ho mai parlato di me
È che non volevo spaventarvi
Ora sono Zzala, figlio di puttana
Sta uscendo il mio disco fra’ chiuditi in casa
L’ho fatto per me prima che per la grana
Per togliermi il culo da in mezzo a una strada
Tu non sai che cosa ho visto
Date chiuse senza disco
Parla parla, sono il Diablo
Con le Nike nere frate ribadisco
Rido sui periodi grigi
Sto fottendo anche la crisi
Rappo in skate come Weezy
Ma con un paio di Yeezy
Easy, come Booba la tua gente esclusa
Il tuo trio, Medusa
Il mio trio, beh scusa
Senti me, fra’ che flow
Sento te, fra’ che babbo
Sono in fissa con sto camel toe
Mo’ la schiaccio, Camel double
Sono morto, fra’ Tupac Shakur
Zzala frate, c’ho una marcia in più
Porta la tua tipa al tuo concerto
Così frate c’è una marcia in più yeah
Faccio il botto come a Boston
Svolto un K solo con le rime
Così frate sento un po’ il denaro
Me ne vado a letto con un Rolly addosso
Dude its not op.20 , its no.20 op.posth
Yes
LOL! But the poster can be forgiven given his effort to display the sheet music.
Yayaya
