    I always wanted to learn the folk and polish qualities and types of mazurkas, and It's very interesting to hear them from a Polish pianist! Thank you very much, I will be watching the rest of your lectures.

    May I just say, everything you cover is essential and necessary. Your phrase by phrase in the moment this is happening approach is fantastic for focus and expression. What I also find to be one of the most important teaching tools you use is when you clap out the rhythms. It goes right to the brain in a way that is indelible, Thank you. It makes the dance intrinsic to the whole experience, Thank you.

    I started again practising mazurka's Greg, and what better to do than go back to your first video about Chopins Mazurka's. You a few years younger, playing somewhere in the attic. The technology of your videos may have gradually improved, but not the clarity of your lessons. I'm very happy with this video, maestro. It will help me a lot learning to play this one. Thx 🍀

    An analytical and detailed introduction, as yours, Mo Niemczuk, makes this typical polish dance, full of polish soul, even more captivating! In my opinion, mazurka op6 no1, the first in the whole volume of Chopin mazurkas, is undoubtedly the one to enchant one's tender feelings and deep emotions, by introducing him in a unique three-part-way to the world of rare and everlasting beauties, reached only through masterpieces of art !!! Pure Magic !!! Thank you so much !!!

Like the story behind his valse op 69 no 2// or events surrounding its creation.

    Hi Greg, thank you for your wonderful video! Your analysis and deep personal connection to this music is absolutely breathtaking. Wonderfully played as well! I was wondering if you had any more insight or any material I could look into reading that talks more about Chopin referring to Mazurkas as his personal diary or if this is simply a general sentiment? I'm interesting in seeing some personal statements from Chopin himself if it's out there. Thank you!

    Wonderful tutorial! Delightful to participate in this way! I enjoy the information- Chopin’s background, the music’s mood changes witnessed by the chord changes, and the tutorial on the dances! A specific question: how do you finger the grace note for the octaves in the “oberek” section?

    I can't tell which edition you are playing from. I have the original Paderewski editions. The fingerings are excellent. I expect the pedal markings are not Chopin's but Paderewski's? He mostly recommends lifting the pedal just before the third beat.

    • @gregniemczuk
      @gregniemczuk  Рік тому +1

      I'm using Ekier. Probably it's Paderewski. But you can decide yourself what for you sounds better.
