Nocturne Op. 9 No. 1 and 2 are great, but I never gave number 3 a listen because I was already satisfied listening to the other two pieces. Big mistake! I end up falling in love with this piece more than the other two. Chopin, you are one great man..
This is very true!!
Ha ha, glad the mutual opinion exists, my friend. :)
You still have 18 more of his nocturnes to discover then! This one is definitely in my favourites, but give a shot also to op 27 no 2 for example :)
Abigail Nadira op 15 is also worth listening
The rest of the nocturnes have this effect. In fact, every piece of Chopin has this effect. His world is indescribably beautiful.
I don't know what emotion I'm feeling, but I'm definetely feeling it.
Me same
the feeling i get for most of the Nocturnes is simply, melancholy
It’s Chopin, you get to feel any and all of them because they’re certainly embodied in the music.
I was going to say, it doesn't sound _quite_ like anything I've heard before.
I think it's bittersweet
People may say that this is boring but it is actually a music for yourself when there is no one else but yourself, in a moment of silence and tranquility
I must ask: Who the hell has ever called this boring? The people that might say that, don't even know the name Chopin. And the ones who do know Chopin, would never dare to say it.
@@roberacevedo8232 Most people only heard of Op 9 no 2, and a small number has heard of no 1, but no 3 is mostly obscured , so that may be the case.
@@JamesZ32100 That's right. There are several peopleb that think they know Chopin and have only heard 2 or 3 pieces by him without much thought.
Just like there are others that say that they listen to classical but only know für Elise.
@@roberacevedo8232 It's such a shame though, if they like Fur Elise, or some Chopin pieces, they should dive into it more, instead of being a poser lol
I cant see anyone calling It boring
I live in Spain, I promised that I would visit Warsaw someday. Not only visited it, I met my girlfriend, who lives there.
Walking around an autumn park I discovered a bench which played this piece. Watching at brown autumn leaves with my girlfriend next to me and listening to this at Chopin's placebirth was some of the best moments of my life. Could not resist to go into tears. Thank you Chopin for this moments.
Nowadays, after finishing op 27 no 1 , I'm learning this piece.
@enigma have a nice journey, you have a present in life
Lol good comedy mate
I had to do a double-take at the bench that played Chopin. 😂
The best ending of all time. Seriously, Chopin is such a genius!!!
One of the most beautiful! He does this a lot, like in the Fm. Tension and release!
Nocturnes ,mazurcas ,etudes ,waltz ,everything in Chopin is beautiful
I feel like he turns every place he is in into a philosophical movement...
I cannot believe that I have never heard of this gorgeous piece. Its such an elegant and perfect piece... I wonder how is this so much less famous than the other 2 nocturnes in the same opus...
This one is incredibly cute and yet much more complex than the Eb nocturne, both technically and for the listener, especially through the minor b-section. But yeah, this piece could definitely get more love!
youtube needs a "love button"
yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I'd definitely press it if there was one
Knagencjusz 7 years later and there is not one
Knagencjusz wow if someone reads this reply 7 years from now that's kinda sad like time goes quick. Hit me up
It's 23:19 sun 3 jan 2021 uk time
This is why I put up the score to songs for which this has not already been done. I think its much more interesting than pictures of pianos or the composers or whatever else people put up.
I agree, thank you for this.
this piece breaks my heart every time.. Yet how can you not fall in love with it every time.. Chopin is just cruel in the way he makes you feel.. I have no words.
I think he wrote this music to express how he felt.
@@poisonfish2176 he did have many struggles throughout his life. With love, work, life In general, money.
he was depressed for like 2/3 of his life
If the whole Chopin Op 9 were played in my funeral, I think I would resurrect from my coffin :D
true
Me too
I heard this today and thought the very same same. I liked my family to listen to this and feel that this was my life.
You mean your Choffin
From 1:35 to 1:55 and then 2:35 to 2:55, maybe the most beautiful music I've ever heard in my life
yep.
One of the most difficult of all the nocturnes (if not the most difficult), but this performance is so effortless and beautiful
The right hand has mind of it's own in this piece. I started practicing this today after getting bored playing the two other Op 9 Nocturnes and I gotta say that for this particular piece hand independence practice is a must. It does not mean that you can't play this without a master's hand independence (I certainly don't have one) but it does mean, at least for me, that both hands have to be practiced separately to a t. That's obviously what you might do anyway when practicing any piece, but a fluid and free feeling is what makes this nocturne (and the other two also, actually) such a wonderfully playful and beautiful piece of music.
True for any piece with tuplets
@@haferbrei7759 lmao who the fuck is she talking to? She chats shit hand independence should be good for all pieces never mind some Chopin
this piece is just like our life, with first smooth and fresh start like an infant, then starting to grow in the next level stage of life which the song began to be real hard and just like in the middle of our life we start to think that there are so many stressed and everything so hard. that's where the piano part starting to break the chord but then it got back again with the beautiful ending smoothly and clean. with the magnificent arrangement. when we're getting old we will understand as well, everything that happen will become the things that we've seen before. and we are old enough to understand life and be wise about it. this piece have a perfect and complete aesthetic of life. the perfect ending that show when our time have finish in this world. we surely will realize that we have a wonderful and great life that we've through with remarkable ending. we will realize that this life is a gift. and it's worth to fight for. by the way that's just my opinion i know it's messed up but i hope whoever read this, can understand eventually. and sorry for my english. i'm from indonesia.
I thought the same thing!
Absolutely!
Haha I think my life is beautiful now. I am a teen though.
Your English is great! I didn't even see a problem reading it through
Piękno muzyki Fryderyka Chopina to fenomen graniczący z cudem. Chopin to najpiękniejsza spuścizna dla ludzkości. ♥️
I love the auditory illusion created in the first two measures. Two notes are each previewed in sixteenth notes as a chromatic neighboring tone to the previous note before being played again on-beat so as to sound like it has descended in pitch, despite being the same note! It would not surprise me if this was the exact effect Chopin was intending when writting this.
He loves his chromatics!
Out of the three nocturnes in op 9, i found this one the best. And those fast bits are really hard.
+Ludwig Van Beethoven Those parts are definetly demanding, but I find the agitato part in the middle of the piece harder. It is quite weird and a bit out of place (but who am i to comment on the work of Chopin), and it is quite frustrating because it just doesn't sound right when you could not play it fluently. I am already through the allegretto at the start and the end (not really up to performing standard) and can't wait to finish this piece, though revising for DSE (akin to A-levels in Britain) is taking away much of my practice time.
I prefer No.1 (in B flat minor) myself, but when it comes to this level of beauty and mastery (on the parts of both Chopin and Rubinstein) I'd say it's all subjective :)
I prefer no. 2 though
1:33 is one of the most beautiful piano passages I've ever heard
It’s even better the next time with the trill ;)
This is my favourite part too. I play it over and over. The last few bars are adorable too.
Why does it make the heart ache? 😭❤️ Opus 9 is such a beautiful set of Nocturnes.
Finale of this nocturne is heavenly
This piece feels like reassurance, kind of an “I’m going to get through this in the end” sort of feeling
You wanted silk, I gave you sweet music. You wanted gold, I gave you my soul. You wanted perfection, I gave you this: Chopin, oh Chopin.
How can anyone dislike this? To hit the dislike button on this is absolute insanity.
I KNOW!! How can someone dislike beautiful music like this.. :/
+lauraT probably because there arent enough "dirty beats" and "bass drops".... god i hate my generation's taste in music (\ _ -
+slendy9600 2edgy4me
+Timothy Gomer here in italy, many teenagers listen neomelodic music(the worse shit at world) and say the classical music is shit, but i don't say them nope beacause they won't understand.
(if i wrote bad, it is beacause i've studied english for 5 years)
Same here in america man. Best to just ignore it and enjoy it yourself and watch true emotion slowly fade from music
Point of notice for theory and music history fans: the opening passage is basically the most common blues cadence with the diminished triad movement. Play it in a different rhythm and it's a Scott Joplin progression from 1899, which pretty much lead to jazz and the most common blues progressions. Chopin was just that dude, I guess.
Interesting .
Chopin, thou art the translator for many of us who roam the underground inflicted by gloomy yet beautiful visions of existence. Unable to understand or convey the complexities of our desolate being, you chopin with your majestic compositions shed ethereal light on the underground that so many of us tortured souls inhabit. Thank you dear sir for existing for you live still through your melodies....
The attention to each note and the pause/suspension is amazing
Rubinstein brings Chopin to life like no other. Other pianists tend to bring too much of their own interpretation into Chopin's pieces. Rubenstein plays Chopin in such an understated, precise, elegant way, so that Chopin himself can shine through.
Right?! Seems some musicians want to be composers but instead feed that desire with ridiculous "interpretations"
Fairly myopic viewpoint to have on the “romantic” era of classical music. I’m sure Chopin didn’t literally play what was written on paper every time.
Liszt for example was a notorious improviser who would have played pieces differently on any given day.
Liberace also can
Yes because Rubinstein is the genius of geniuses in the classical music industry
Oh goodness, the agitato part. I can imagine playing it for the first time would be hard to grasp the sense of the rhythm.
Good luck on learning it though :)
Peter Rabitt Did you get it?
I know, I never properly got the binary/ternary overlap bit.
Yup you're quite on the point with that
the part with the moving bassline in b minor?
Chopin, siempre Chopin! y Rubinstein su mejor intérprete sin dudas. Delicadeza, pasión y elegancia para una obra de romanticismo en su punto máximo
Rubenstein's Chopin is so elegant while also being deeply expressive.
The ending brings me to tears every time. It's just gorgeous
OP 9 no 1, 2 & 3 is a perfect combination of the nocturnes. After listening and comprehending the no 1 and no 2, then you can really enjoy the beauty of no 3. What a genius Chopin is !
Sir Fryderyk Chopin is the pride of Poland! The whole country is very proud of him! 🇵🇱
How many polyrhthms will you write?
Chopin: Yes.
More importantly, how many polyrithms will you properly notate?
Chopin: no
I’m not even going to pretend what that means
@@Stopitpls It just means that the right and left hand are playing in different rithyms. So the notes won't land on top of each other.
@@roberacevedo8232 OH! Thanks. listening now that makes perfect sense
So true! Am studying right now and I came here to youtube to see how pianists handle the problem
This used to be (maybe still is?) my favorite interpretation and the reason I learned it some 20 years ago and now listening again, he barely touches how aggressive the middle section can be, like a pirate battle at sea, but that said... flawless and most inspirational performance by one of the greatest of the greatest.
I have learnt Op. 9 No. 1 & 2 years ago yet I didn't learn this.. Yet interestingly I found this really good and I love this even more than the other two! I wonder why this is much less well known than the other two.. I'm so gonna learn this piece right now it's my first new year resolution
Michel Godschalck Thank you! It is a beautiful piece and I will take my time to learn it well
+lauraT I learned this nocturne for a recital last year, it is hard, but so worth it!!! Good luck!!!!
Happy 2017! Did you learn it?
Have you learned to play it?
i find the second nocturne slightly boring
The lightness of Rubinstein's touch here is outstanding. The agitato is sublimely played! What virtuosity. It's so easy to go overboard on this nocturne, the passagework provides much forum for the ostentatious, but it's safe to say Rubinstein resists that...
For an example of "going overboard", listen to Josef Hofmann's rendition, which is available on UA-cam. Technically stunning with almost unbelievable clarity, yet not nearly as satisfying as Rubinstein, whose emotional health makes Hofmann sound neurotic. I admire Hofmann, as do many, but give me Rubinstein for the long haul. Just one man's opinion after hearing both of them for 60 years.
Chopin compôs os noturnos mais belos, é meu compositor favorito.
This is not music, it's food for the soul.
Music IS soul food.
Rubinstein plays simple and clear but there is enough beauty to make people cry
This is so much less famous and harder to learn than no.1 and 2, but i gradually realize it deserves to stand besides the other two masterpieces.
What I felt:
On a pleasant night he looked out the window at the lightly lit treetops, and heard people laughing and dancing in the distant bar, what a scherzando night. Then it rained... and everything recovered but changed. He saw hope in the damp streets and shimmering light.
sik drop m8.
Yes Chopin did lots of 'drops' on his DJ machine didn't he lol
Something supernatural is happening at 1:42 the "fz" measure. That f# with the f natural together is so beautiful.
Enumoni Yeah it’s so beautiful. The f# and f form a major7 interval together
overshadowed and underated, lets not let this piece be forgotten again.
My favourite classical piece for now. Playing in my head everyday.
The ending. Awwww. Any girls' heart should melt LOL
My masculine man heart melted into pieces bruh
The jumpscare, dude. I'm just trying to do my homework.
One of the most delicately and achingly beautiful pieces ever written.
how can music be so beautiful? Chopin is brilliant, and Rubinstein is pure genius.
Chopin is a pure genuis and Rubinstein is brilliant !
Chopin is a fucking god
Thanks! Rubinstien played many of these less well-known nocturnes beautifully, but not many people listen to them.
Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful pieces I have ever heard, there is no doubt that I will play it for half of the year. 💕
Pocos pianistas hay que toquen tan hermoso los Nocturnos de Chopin como Arthur Rubinstein❤
Just imagine how difficult it must have been to learn a piece like this properly before the internet was around
Ivo Agar with sheet music
Lol, how's the Internet helping in learning music? Surely you don't attempt to copy a complex piece like that just from listening to it? That'd be crazy-hard.
Beloved Chopin, what a genius composer.
Yes indeed. Although i heard this this nocturne, exactly at this point i was surprised by how romantic the piece (of this nocture) is and how beautifully expressed by Rubinstein. Gosh, i wish i could play it like him. I'lll keep trying :)
Played by a genius. Listening to this performance is such a relief.
Us mere mortals cannot compete with the immortal music of Chopin. It is too touching, too lovely, too beautiful for us. And yet, we are able to reconcile and understand and retrospect. I am touched.
Was always my favorite nocturne. I envision an outside stroll amidst the setting sun.
And some say Chopin is not subtle.
My little brother always stereotypes Chopin music and being very fast and virtuosic moving up and down the piano 😂🙏 just got to smile at the innocent ignorance of the little one 🙂
RIP, my dear granny Zélia! the best pianist ever! I love you, grandma! I'll always remember you and the songs you played from Chopin, Rachmaninoff and Debussy, since I was just a small child!
I really love this Nocturne, feels like an operatic aria in a style of Vincenzo Bellini.
Last two bars (Adagio) contains the 95 % of the whole magic.
Hauntingly beautiful💕so much emotion!
1:50 chills. Absolutely wonderful.
I personally prefer, though it is hard to decide, Op. 62 No. 1. This is still an amazing piece of art. Chopin is the undeniable best.
Looking at and listening to the music, I have a feeling this nocturne is the fusion of the preceding opp 9 nocturnes.
Of course, a gorgeous fusion
Pra mim o mais lindo de todos os noturnos de Chopin!!!!! Amo demais 💓
The most beautiful and expressive nocturne
The two dislikes must be people that can't figure out how to play the left hand portion
What
@@babyskunkcat I know the left hands the easier bit ngl
Is one of the best Chopin’s nocturnes
0:49 to 1:05, tears to my eyes, so beautiful
Ok ok.
@@brian9440 you meet a fool everyday
@@MarcAmengual So?
@@brian9440 you are that fool. Don't reply please, I don't want to argue with you in the presence of this beautiful piece.
They are regarded by musicologists and scholars as some of the best pieces of music ever written for the piano, so you're assessment is accurate. I agree with you!
Fortunately Mr Rubinstein knew this piece is perfect just played, without any additional interpretation.
This is a piece that you can easily fall in love with.
This is criminally underrated
This is strangely hypnotic
Alex Anastas The beginning, isnt it :)
Je n'aurais jamais cru aimer autant un compositeur de piano! Surtout que j'ai plus tendance à écouter du rock ou du punk (des trucs un peu hard pour les oreilles, des fois...^^). Mais c'est tellement beau, que je met le rock de côté rien que pour écouter ça!
Speak American
***** do you know that Chopin is french... --'
+Lala T. actually, he's polish :)
Gwen Yetter oh sorry! I'm sure you know more than me! X)
Gwen Yetter But he died in Paris ^^ does it count?
I can't help but love this piece
3:30 the mushroom trip ends and he remembers hes a 19th century composer
One of the first times I realize music is really pretty and beautiful.
LadyinGrey I felt that realization when I read your comment... Wonderful
1:35 i never heard such beautiful music :)
I totally agree I always repeat that part
Sounds modern but beautiful
2:40 ;)
Is beautiful Chopin
Aside from all the fuzz about popularity of pieces...let's not forget the music itself. Forget where you are, what you do, take this moment, listen, and enjoy.
12 years ago ? Crazy I hope this chanel still going
I like to think of the Op. 9 nocturnes as nighttime scenes from the seasons.
No. 1 is winter, 2 is summer, and 3 is autumn/spring (although I feel like this piece represents autumn more)
0:59 is delightful!
Milford Cubicle He plays scales like jewels!
So beautiful😭😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️😩😩😩
3:36
Chopin Nocturne op. 1-2-3 and all his other series deeply affect me
Beautiful.
A small personal anecdote: I worshipped at the altar of Beethoven and eagerly listened to my boxed set of his 32 piano sonatas. After I heard my first Chopin nocturne, a thick coat of dust settled on my aforementioned boxed set and has not been dusted to this day...
I totally agree. Chopin's music has a complexity, depth, and underlying melancholy that no other composer, including Beethoven, can match. You could listen to Chopin literally every single day of your life and find something new every time.
+soxnation1000 I'm actually obsessed by the nocturnes, I couldn't play them enough if I wanted to :) Beethoven sonatas definately don't match the depth of this music.
+peter maguire no need to compare apples and oranges... Beethoven sonatas are incredibly deep and complex, especially the last ones, which are just a miracle. Chopin was indeed an absolute genius of his own and yes his nocturnes are very deep too, in different ways (even though, to be honest, they are certainly not his deepest and most complex compositions)
+soxnation1000 Chopin's melodies are crafted prematurely I believe albeit beautiful. The true magic of Beethoven lies in his ability to develop theme. Beethoven's sonatas are extremely brilliant. They are likewise appreciated by the brilliant. Chopin's music seems to me like atmosphere that is already present. I find his music doesn't go as far as I like it to.
Brilliant analysis
I just saw the Pixar movie "Up", and the musical score that plays during the intro sequence of the film reminded me a great deal of this nocturne. A beautiful piece, and despite sounding happy I can't shake off the fact that's actually really, really sad.
this is heaven
This is really useful to listen to. I'm performing this piece for a competition. Thanks
How did the competition go?
No one can play chopin nocturne like rubinstein
such beautiful finish
I admire Arthur Rubinstein ❤ so much , it's elation , but Samson François is excellent for playing Nocturnes too 😉
this stuff soothes my soul.
Another underrated banger from the past!.
