Chopin Nocturne Op 48 No1 C minor
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- Chopin's Nocturnes are among the most intimate and personal of his works, adding new dimensions to the form inherited from the Irish composer John Field (1782-1837). The two Nocturnes that make up his Opus 48 were composed during the autumn of 1841, a time of relative happiness and great productivity for the composer whose life was otherwise marred by sadness. They are dedicated to one of Chopin's favourite pupils, Laure Duperré.
The first of the set is profoundly serious in nature. The poignant theme heard in the opening is first presented quietly (marked 'mezza voce' or half voice), then contrasted with a slow, stately 'chorale' section in C major (marked 'sotto voce, ie in a quiet voice as if not to be overheard). The chordal theme is gradually energized with octave triplets which increase in intensity. A restatement of the opening theme is transformed through undulating repeated chords marked 'agitato', building to a tragic conclusion.
This Nocturne is one of Chopin’s greatest creations by virtue of his sheer power. By turn, desperately sad, hopeful but ultimately tragic.
This interpretation is a masterpiece, possibly the best I have ever seen has some of the most emotion and just clicks for me.
Thank you
This is a world class performance
Incredible perfomance... better than all the other eliete pianists.
Thank you
So nice to find a pianist that plays from his soul, almost rare, keep uploading videos. Very inspiring to see you play❤
Thank you
This is an incredible interpretation of this devastating nocturne! I love how you portrayed the raw emotion in the piece. Well played!!
Now this is what I've been looking for, a musician that pours his heart and soul into the music. I've only been playing piano for about 4 years but I hope one day I can achieve this and play with this much beauty. Bravo to you sir.
Thank you. Good luck!
Absolutely wonderful rendition. I aspire to reach such a beautiful level of play.
Thank you
This is definition of world stage class playing
Thank you
What an achievement to reach this level of playing. Incredible
Thank you.
I'm with William. Stunning.
Thank you James so much, it was simply beautiful. Mr Chopin would be smiling from above with little faeries hovering around him.

You managed to best Seong-Jin Cho!!!!!!! You’re the best in the world in this piece!!!!!
Thank you!
A marvelous and beautiful interpretation of his dramatic nocturne ! Well done 👍
Thank you
This is marvellous, I loved the delicacy and pace of your rendition, most pianist rush through the last section or play it too agitated loosing the inherent beauty and expressiveness of those undulating chords. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you
it is written « doppio movimento » which means 2x faster so ofcourse they « rush ». But if you rush and cant tame it, its better to play it slower
In the sheet music it says "doppio movimento" and "agitato" so I get where they're coming from but some overdo it
This is an amazing interpretation, 5:19 onwards is bliss.
Thank you
Gorgeous rendition, what a delicate touch and pace. So much emotion it's unbelievable. Absolutely lovely it!! ❤
Thank you
Oh mio Dio. Già dalla prima frase sei riuscito ad arrivare al cuore. Che suono, che capacità comunicativa. Mi aggiungo subito al canale. Bravissimo!!!
Thank you so much.
I could just lean back, relax, close my eyes and listen to this all day.
Thank you
Love how the piano area is decorated with your other passions. The racing helmet, the picture of bmws (correct me if I am wrong), the wine and lastly the Yamaha grand. I share the love for racing and wine and adore your interpretation of one of my favorite Chopin Nocturnes.
Thank you
I love the expression you put into this piece, really a wonderful interpretation!
Thank you
Brawo 👏
This was such a beautiful and unique rendition of this pieces James, really moved me to tears. Such phenomenal playing. 🤍
Thank you
Beautiful interpretation in every section. Full of emotions as this piece should be. I worked hard on it and I know how difficult is. The best nocturne.
Thanks for listening
Breath taking! 💖💖💖💖💖💖
Beautiful piece, beautifully played, as ever. Exquisite interpretation and touch. It certainly portrays powerful emotions - I see what you mean. I also enjoy your accompanying notes.
I love how well accentuated your left hand octaves are in the last part of the doppio movement. Really one of my favorite Chopin pieces, I always think of how we simply read and play these otherworldly beautiful combinations of chords - without Chopin this Beauty would lay hidden beneath our fingertips. I once read that a pianist was thrown out of a cafe while playing Op48No1 during the second part - they thought he was having a laugh playing these chromatic chords crashing downwards into insanity (they must've thought playing the piano is extremely easy)
Thank you
좋네요^^
Thank you
I am very happy having found your channel. I love your incredible emotional playing ❤
Thank you
James you’re so good! Beautifully played! I’m trying to learn this same piece I cannot believe I found this rendition by you such a blessing!
Wow I love this interpretation!
Thank you
@@jamesv61 May I please ask what microphone you used for this video? The audio sounds pretty good for how far away the camera is and how big the room is.
Hi@@EverTruu. I use a SHURE mic on my Samsung S22.
So beautiful!!!😍😍😍
I have no idea how this doesn’t have more views. You’re an amazing pianist, however I know this doesn’t mean much coming from a young, intermediate, amateur musician and stranger like myself. Awesome interpretation!
Believe me, it does matter. Thank you.
Good voicing!
Thanks
I love this!
perfection...
Thank you
Impecable!!
Thank you

emotions are high : 5:25
I really like the pace. Slow and expressive.
And that's a great sounding Yamaha. Which series?
Thank you. It's a CF6
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Beautiful done. I'm working on this piece right now and I think it's the most difficult of Nocturnes
it is.

Thank you
繊細で情熱的。私も日本でこの曲をYAMAHAのピアノで弾いています。
Could you tell me what version of Yamaha Grand , I guess C-6 ? correct ? I rather prefer Shigeru Kawai but per the
Channel , I love Yamaha sound .
Yes, it's a CF6
👏👏👏👏👏👏🥰
Thank you
Holy shit
This is the best interpretation i have ever seen! I am a new listener of yours and was wondering, are you a professional? If not, you definitely do have the skill. Please keep it up 👏👏
Thank you, Reha. I am not a professional, rather having studied at both the Royal College and Academy in London I gave up playing after five years' freelancing. I was fortunate enough to have a degree of success in my non-musical career, that enabled me to buy this wonderful piano a few years ago and started playing again after some 30 years.
@@jamesv61 That's great! I have been learning piano myself, although nowhere near your level. Actually trying to learn waltz op.69 no.2 right now. Hoping to get to your level sometime, but it seems so hard at times. Best wishes to you. I have been coming back to this recording, by the way. It is truly a masterpiece.
I like your tempo choices - really lovely playing!
Come ti chiami? Che scuola hai frequentato? Vorrei conoscere la tua storia pianistica. Grazie
Thank you. Please have a look at my video Introduction and Thank you from JamesV61 for answers to your questions.
