Chopin Nocturne No. 20 in C sharp minor Op. Posth B.49 Piano Tutorial
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 сер 2024
- Adding score to my 2010 tutorial. There were many comments about notes being different, etc. That is why it would be better with a score on top, even a so-so version. The publishing house editions are not in public domain. Oops, near the end where I notated A major scale, it is a C-sharp minor scale, same as the key signature, of course!

Thank you for all your tutorial videos! Question: why do you tie the middle C in the first measure but not in the second?
Wasn’t paying attention? 🙄😊
@@janepianotutorials thanks, not trying to be critical, I am not an advanced player and am always second guessing myself
@@jirosuzuki2317 I really appreciate it when viewers point out errors. Your comment helps everyone who uses this video. So I thank you with all my heart. It also shows that you are a good student! :)
Jane, your tutorials of Chopin and Shubert are exquisite. The technique you have created is such a unique and inspiring method, which can only motivate people like me to keep practising. If I only manage to play the opening few bars of your tutorials, I will be thrilled and forever grateful to you!
Hello Michael, feel undeserving of your high compliments. Truly appreciate your kindness. Enjoy learning piano!
I watched The Pianist today. I think i watched 100 times. Anyway good job!
What a movie! ... didn't realize this piece was at the beginning of the film (read Wikipedia)
@Gizio the piece touches one’s heart
i guess it is kind of off topic but do anybody know a good place to stream new movies online ?
You are the GOAT of piano tutorials, thank you for all the years of work and vast choice of music :)
😊 for a few days I heard the word GOAT applied to an Olympian athlete, and wondered whether goats have special strengths. Because of you, I Googled it. Wow, thanks for your compliment. 😂❤️
@@janepianotutorials 😊❤️
Thank you for uploading such a clear video of fingering and a score. This is Chopin's piano music that I have always wanted to learn, but it has never been possible. Now I can start learning with your video. 👍🙏🌹😊
You're very welcome! Good luck practicing the beautiful piece :)
@@janepianotutorials 👍🙏😊🌺
This is fabulous. Thanks for playing slowly with clear fingerings. I can finally tackle the difficult parts and continue my practice. Thank you!
You can do it! Have fun practicing :)
Wonderful!! Thank you so much for helping me. I'm starting to like this piece, because of you!! Greetings from Vietnam :-))
You're welcome, enjoy learning the piece, and greetings to you in Vietnam!
Jessica Jenner hi đồng hương
Wow Jane you really help me with the hard parts in this piece. Thank you so very much! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Glad it helped. Thanks for letting me know :)

Ignore it, it's for my studies
Hi, I am Bagus from Indonesia. Thanks Jane for uploading this video, Really love it.
Hello Bagus. Nice to hear from you. Greetings to you in Indonesia.
What an amazing tutorial . Thank you so much Jane!
Glad it helps, thanks for writing 🤗
I love that impression I am actually playing this piece right now! Love it!
Nice, have fun learning it!
um is the last note sharp A or G I am extra confuse
listen to which sounds best?
@@janepianotutorials Oh nice idea
I was planning to use that one from now on
정말 고맙습니다.

You’re welcome. I answered your first comment already.
Thank you so much for this Jane it’s especially helpful for practicing the fast runs in the piece. I have just started practicing this, not sure if I’m being a bit too ambitious as I’m only at grade 6 standard.
You’re welcome, Steven. Am sure you can do it. Keep practicing!
@@janepianotutorials thank you Jane 😊
You rock Jane!and thank you for the helpful video I am learning how to play this piece right now!
How kind of you :) Good luck and have fun learning this piece!
Thanks a lot for this tutorial , so i can practice by myself
You can do it! 😊❤️
Thank-you Jane! Your videos are really helping me as my teacher can't give me lessons right now. What level is this piece? It is so beautiful 😍
You're so welcome. Am on the channel comment page. Did I forget to add a level? Actually, levels do not matter that much. The more we challenge ourselves, the faster we improve. Take a section that looks difficult and practice just that part. If you can learn it in a week or two, you know you can learn the entire piece. Good luck !
Bravo, Jane. Love it - and thank you for re-recording this tutorial with the score and your marked notations. Don't you get annoyed with mis-prints, Grrr! :D (Carol from Oz)
Hope this helps, Carol. Yes, wish I could use those non-PD (Public Domain) scores to teach! Grrr... to the publishers!
Que aula magnífica ! Nós estudantes ficamos muitíssimo gratos . 🙏
Nice to hear from you! Glad that this is useful 😊
Hi @jane it's me again. I was reading that piece and I saw many differences between versions on imslp. I'm using Cortot version. Because your appreciation of error catching I saw in the rush part of the section on 8:30 you played 5 notes in the left hand. I'm now a 2 year piano student and I'm struggling to get fast enough in this part.
Thanks for sharing! I downloaded the Cortot version. Wonder when IMSLP added that edition…. I’ll make a new tutorial after my right hand recovers from the glass shattering accident!
Uau!!! Tudo que eu queria ! 🙏muito grata professora Jane ❤️❤️eu vou estudar muito essa aula . 🌹
Wonderful to hear from you, Nancy. Have fun practicing this nocturne 🥰
Thanks for all your tutorials! Thanks very much indeed!
Thanks for writing, Fabian. This has been an interesting project.
@@janepianotutorials I really enjoy all your tutorials! 👍👍👍
I wish this was posted earlier when I was still learning this! Anyways great tutorial!
Good job! You must have learned it well. Making mistakes is how we learn, so it’s actually more beneficial to learn without looking at tutorials. It’s like peeking at the answer at the back of the book before finishing the math problem, right? ☺️
@@janepianotutorials Yeah!
Thanks Jane for that, i’m learning this piece🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
You're welcome Wil. Have fun practicing it!
Thank you so much for this Lady Jane! \o/
Thanks, Andrew, for giving me a smile :)
Jane Glad to! It means alot to me these videos that you do and every now and again you release something I've been meaning to get to and it is just so very invaluable to me! I thank you again ! 🤗
Grazie che ci sei, buona continuazione 👋
Thank you, Enrico.
YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!
Thanks so much 😊
Thank you very much,Jane!! But in 7:38 is D# in a left hand,you play F#☺❤
Good job being careful. Was playing from a different edition. Please read video description. I do appreciate all error catching, so thanks for writing.
Hello Jane! Do you have any tips for playing those right hand trills? Although I am almost comfortable with playing the fast runs; however, I still can't figure out how to do those trills near the beginning!! I have tried with 2-3, 1-3, 2-4, but to no avail. Interestingly, I have no issues playing trills with left hand, but that won't work here. My playing just goes flat after a couple of seconds, and I am just hitting the second note, even though both fingers are in constant motion. In short, I just can't keep up playing it for a prolonged period regardless if I play fast or slowly 😐.
The number of turns is not fixed. Try this with the trill in measure 5. Fit these group of RH notes to the LH: F#G# / F#G# / F#G#F# / EF# (those last 2 tiny notes). As you get more skilled you can try 3 RH notes to 1 LH note, or 4 RH notes to 1 LH note. Practice very slowly with a metronome set to the LH.
Watch Josh Wright's video about trills
Lindo e muito bem explicado! Gratidão! Parabéns!
Muito obrigado!
Muito obrigada,Jane!!! Thank you very much!
You're welcome, Candida Maria
Thank you so much. Such a great help
You're very welcome! Glad it helps
thank youuuuuuu so much for all videos
You’re very welcome. Thanks for writing
Heyho, thanks a lot for this. Just a little correction, bar 59 is an E Major scale, not A major. :)
Thanks, the video description mentions something about this. Did I goof there too? Please let me know. 😊
YOU ARE PERFECT. can you put a link of the shet in the coment please🙏🏻
Rather you learn to search for sheetmusic yourself. That way you can always find it. Google search _the title of the piece together with the term IMSLP_ . IMSLP is the best site for free classical scores.
Jane oh thank you!! I was looking for a long time for a page with classical scores!!
Maravilloso de gran ayuda gran pianista gracias
Dear Javier, thank you for your kind words!
Hi, Jane ! Thanks a lot for your precious videos. I work all my pieces with an eye on them. May I ask you if you made one with Chromatic fantasy (in english ?) by Bach ? I don’t find any… Thank you for your answering.
I don’t recall, please use the search box on my website. Links in description and outro.
Jane I appreciate your time to make this clear, I’m new ( less than year) in the piano, if u don’t mind I’d like to ask u about the 15 measure, when it comes 2v3 (polyrhythms), I don’t have troubles with the rhythm when I’ll try with the same notes from the sheet in the LH and unique note in de RH hand, but when I use the full notes on my RH hand I can’t get it, sometimes I broke the notes from the RH hand and they aren’t triplets, anymore and also sometimes when I keep the triplets, I’m so slow in the LF Hand and the duplets sound to close, :/, I wonder if you know any exercise to make it!!!!!
Greetings from Colombia/ South America !!!
The sure fire approach is to force yourself to follow a metronome. Set the 2 vs 3 portion to 6 beats. Then practice just a short section. Go to my website, enter "polyrhythms" in the search box, then see my tutorials on 2 vs 3 and "how to practice polyrhythms".
Jane !!! You really saved me, both videos about polyrhythms are so helpful, I could easily do it by the method that you explain there... it was so useful!!
Take care 😃
Thank you ❤️ you're incredible
You’re welcome. Yes, incredibly nutty 🤣
Awesome
Thanks 🥰
That riff at 8:30 is the only thing that’s left after weeks of practice! I cant seem to get it fast enough. I think it might have to do with my finger placement. I tried to see how you placed your fingers but it went by so fast haha. Do you have any tips? (: great video!
Tip: practice the C-sharp Minor scale. Google search that scale along with my name?
Jane will do! Thank you (:
In my addition the right hand grace notes in measures 23 and 28 are to be played on the beat simultaneous with the eighth note in the left-hand.
Any thoughts on this indication anyone, please?
ornaments are my nemesis because treatments are inconsistent. try it both ways and choose what sounds better?
Gracias
Welcome 🤗
Do you have any tutorial or tips for trills? Thank you!😄
Sight reading lesson 10
U are the best 👍❤️
Hey Eba, that's so kind of you to say :)
2:50
Do you have coda piano (or upright piano..?)... this in the video.. very great lesson of this sonata.
Yes, I make tutorials on an upright piano because the camera is mounted above it. We have a grand piano that I have used to live-streamed wonderful recitals. Glad you like this lesson, that video is an old one.
@@janepianotutorials wow... this is a vertical piano... (upright)... good sound! and ty for these lessons
Thanks so so so much 💗🥰
You’re very welcome 😊
@1:28 You crossed out that second C note with a red slash. If it's played according to the original (the Urtext version I have), then the C note should repeat, correct (as opposed to continuous)? Why did you cross it out?
Please pause @0:19 to read that intro panel
@@janepianotutorials Thank you for the reply. I just read it, but what does "non-PD editions" mean? Also what do you mean by "This score is better"? "Better" in which way? Thanks.
@@wombat5628 PD stands for Public Domain. Please Google search the term because it is too complicated to explain here. In this case, if the score is published less than 70 years ago, I am not allowed to use it without permission. Those are usually good scores -- accurate and clear. Chopin editions vary the most. I assume his manuscripts are difficult to make out! editors have to guess at times?
@@janepianotutorials Thank you for the quick reply! (maybe you are too prudent, because I'm sure others have been using the scores published more than 70 years ago). Anyway,thanks for all your tutorials. I often come to your channel for fingering or to clarify/verify things about scores.
Have hundreds of tutorials tagged as ‘copyrighted’ . No fun. Had have ‘strikes’ too. It’s unfair and frustrating. Oh well… 😊
2:39
For the right hand runs I need mathematical divisions with x number of beats on each 8th note.
Do you do something like that?
Something like that. Please enter 'polyrhythms' on the search box of my website for answer.

The runs in this piece is okay for me, but the trills is my problem😬 Pls help
Trills : Czerny Piano Studies for the Left Hand Op. 718, No. 23 Piano Tutorial
Wrong note at 2:11, last note of the left hand of bar 11, you played a G# instead of an A#. Otherwise great tutorial, thanks!
Had played from different edition, many questioned different notes. Best is to follow your score, or choose whichever note sounds better :)
I have some doubts. For example at 4:04 in the 25th measure, the second note (D) should not have the sharp since it is already in the sharp according to the key signature. Can you please clear my doubt?
Please note that symbol is a natural sign😊
@@janepianotutorials Thanks for replying. I am sorry I still don't get it. For example the 4th and 5th note have no sharp sign and they function according to the piece's key signature. We want to use the same key signature with the 2nd key (D) too but it has sharp (as visible on my device). I am a beginner in piano please be gentle with me 😂🤭🤫
@@janepianotutorials From what I understand, if the piece was in the key of C major, then you played the D# but since the piece's key is C# minor (E major), that key is D accordingly. Then why every sheet music for this piece uses sharp symbol at that place. Actually I am a self learner so either I am committing a GREAT BLUNDER (most probably) or that is a misprint in every sheet. Please help me out 😢🙏🏽
@@janepianotutorials I am referring to the second note in the 25th measure above which 'sotto voce' is written at 4:04 timestamp in the video. Please do correct me if I am wrong here 🙏🏽
Sorry I was careless in answering you. I was looking at the 2nd note in m24. You are correct, in m25, the sharp is unnecessary, but composers or editors often add such accidentals to make sure the reader reverts to the key signature. You are very careful, you will teach yourself well ☺️
Nice
Thanks
Hi ! Where can I get the piano score from the above tutorial?
It should be on IMSLP, the best site for free classical scores
@@janepianotutorials Thank you !! :)
Haha, im back. I ditched Chopin for a while, piano teacher just realized.
You mean you get to choose the pieces? Lucky 😊
@@janepianotutorials No, i pretended it didnt exist for a time, she forgot cuz she has too many students
😂
Good playing 😊 Do u have sheets?
Thanks. Should be able to find them via google search. try IMSLP first.
Hi may can I play 61 keyboard 2:43
Scrolled through the video, @6:32, counted more than 6 octaves. we need a full-size keyboard for this and most classical pieces. Hope you can save up for one. You can still practice on yours in the meantime, just shift your hands up or down an octave when necessary. Good luck!
@@janepianotutorials thank u ❤️❤️❤️❤️
İ'am a Türkish it's a beatifule 🙈
Hi, glad you like it.
i want to learn this really bad but i cant read sheet music
many are able to learn by imitation and memorizing. experiment with a short section? in the meantime, start my sight-reading lessons. reading is simple if you understand the principle. of course, to get good at it takes practice.
@@janepianotutorials thank you jane
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks! :)
My difficulty is going fast with those quick notes
Practice just that part. Force yourself to obey a metronome, set it to your ok speed. When few mistakes, tick it up 2 bpm. You won’t even realize you’re playing faster. Soon you would reach tempo.
Did you learn it? A new comment brought me back here. Perhaps you meant the scale portion also. Google search C-sharp Minor scale along with my name?
Il y a plein d'erreur dans les placements des doigts ! bon courage !
Do you ever wonder why different editions show different fingering? Reason it out
One of the editions on imslp has fractions on top of the right-hand notes in bar 19 around 3:22. What does such notation mean?
Don’t know. Which editor? I’ll take a look. Am guessing those are fingering change numbers, e.g., 1/5 means play the note with your thumb, hold down the note while switching to the pinky. That keeps the flow.
@@janepianotutorials That would make sense. In any case, I use the version issued by 'Institut Fryderyka Chopina'.
@@SuperInternetuser Am glad it made sense. Will skip checking the edition then.
This is a really nice piece, obviously hard lol
Many viewers have learned this well, you can too :)
I don’t mean to be critical, but I am a piano teacher. Playing something in slow motion with no comments is not a good piano tutorial. For a good piano tutorial on learning this posthumous Chopin Nocturne please see the tutorial posted by Paul Barton. It is brilliant, and so helpful.
All teachers (except music?) advise students to read instructions before answering questions. I am a math teacher. Reading instructions is vital. Before jumping to conclusions, read my channel or website on the intended usage of my tutorials?
@@janepianotutorialsthis comment made me read the instructions 😂
Il manque un trille
Editions differ. You can add the trill 😊
:,)
La resonancia de ese piano necesita eliminarse. Arruina el sonido.
Thanks for caring, but this Yamaha is more than 40 yrs old, and I'm not going to spend thousands rebuilding it. My tutorials are not for listening enjoyment. They are for occasional reference for those following the sheet music. The audio is unnecessary because all one has to do is watch my fingers move :)
@@janepianotutorials es una pena. Ese pequeño detalle haría una diferencia enorme. Quizas Yamaha lo haga gratis para ti. Canje por publicidad.
Dream on, Yamaha U1 prices rocketed sky high due to increased sales. If anything, they are laughing at me. Donations are welcome ;)
@@janepianotutorials send a letter, including your channel and followers. Nothing is impossible. (Try it whit all!!!!) ;)
You are very good.
@@MN-jl5rk More effective if you guys partition for me :) Just kidding. At age 72, my project can't last that much longer. I am not one to stir up trouble, and I am proud of my financial independence. I worked hard and saved every penny since I was 18.
Боже. какой бред! Разбор безграмотный и нотный текст не точный.
How helpful of you!
You play the trail wrong 😑
really? sorry :)
