Hi! Do you guys like Chopin’s Nocturne? Among his Nocturnes, I prepared the Nocturne Op. 48 No. 1. I think that this piece is one of his masterpieces. Actually, it is really hard to play. I had to practice a lot. I hope that you guys can feel how much Chopin expressed his mixed feelings in this piece. Thank you so much for your support! Have a nice day!
This is definitely the best emotional piece by Chopin. This beginning is so heartbreaking and tragic. It sounds like youre at the brink of collapsing into tears. The middle part sounds like nostalgia and happy memories. But then, the doppio movimiento part comes sort of telling you that the memories you had will never come again it ends in a way none of us wanted it to end. Its ending is not grand. It just sort of fizzles out almost like nobody is acknowledging your existence and you sort of go away without a trace. I really want to know what Chopin is going through when he made this Nocturne.
A turkish rapper used as a beat in his song named "24" his name is "sagopa kajmer" and he says in the first sentences of the song: An aging day today She packs the suitcase and her last farewell is just like yesterday He's cornering and crying I am in the blunder of looking at my window tomorrow My eyes are full and my hands are imprisoned on my face. (The one who is crying is"yesterday" The one is pacing the suitcase is today. Just beatiful words.)
That moment in 3:08 when the calm gets suddenly interrupted by ‘intrusive thoughts’… and then seems like Chopin refuses to return into the sadness of the piece and tries to bring up the calm but it doesnt stop getting interrupted by those raging emotions, that finally (in 4:01) flourish into a dramatic fall for the sadness and acceptance of his emotions. Like he finally allows himself to completely feel the way he does and shows us his inner beauty.
I love when people put timestamps of the parts they liked and point things out it’s like a little game to click on it and hear it’s and so fun to hear everyone’s thoughts
Yo. I can't disagree with the fact that Kassia is very expressive. But you have other great youtubers out there that makes excelent jobs, like Paul Barton and Tiffany Poon. Paul Barton has the most beautiful interpretation of Clair de Lune that I've ever heard, of course is just my opinion. I love all of them, Kassia, Paul, Tiffany and everyone has their strong points. Paul is such a tender guy, he's a painter and also a good teacher. There's no way a guy like him will not be expressive on his playing. Tiffany is a concertist and has awesome videos, her Chopin Piano Concerto no. 1 is amazing. Kassia has videos that when I want to hear a specific piece and I know Kassia already made a video playing, I come over here to listen, like Appassionata 3rd mov or Rachmaninoff moment musicaux 4. Just thinking about it makes me wanna listen again

Pjanu Mużika. I know! Most ted talks I get bored of, but in this case, I don’t. It’s not just because of the pleasant voice and the way in Chichester he speaks, but also the music.
This is one of the most beautiful piano pieces ever composed and you performed it impeccably. UA-cam lacked a good overhead-view performance of this piece and you actually did it! This is absolutely difficult to play (as hard as the Etudes), especially without having large hands. Your hands look small, but you can quickly move and reach the notes perfectly. Congratulations!
I didn't knew this piece, and when you show new pieces of all piano levels, I'm motivated to improve my skills. You always motivate me to practing the piano, thank you very much Kassia! You will reach 500K very quickly. You deserve a lot of subscribers (much more than you have lol).
Hi, Louco. This piece is a really great piece!:) I hope that you enjoy it. I believe that you can be a great pianist. Please keep practicing! Thank you!
Listening to this song judt makes me think about how unfair and cruel the world is and how nurturing and kind it is at times this piece just express the duality of the world in such a beautiful manner its shocking ngl.
Classical pieces like this feel like the most transcedental thing human has ever produced. Only the people who truly are listening to music will recognize this. This music is written at the start of the bright enlightenment. But were now in a period of the ugly enlightenment, seeing people changing in consumption machines and listening to the most simple musictones ever written. Thankfully we have these pieces still around, played by many great pianists like Kassia who give a great touch to it. Well done, and keep on going!
@@dijxtramt hi friend, I totally agree with your comment, i love very much this wonderful Nocturne, frederic CHOPIN is by far my favorit composer in the world. Excellent week for you.
@@TheSoulofPiano I'm also totally into Chopin, the complexity (not only technical, but first of all emotional) of his music is so deep that you can discover them all your life. All the best to you!!!
I agree. This is literally the only piece I can play on the piano and I want to learn more of Chopin’s nocturnes, so I was curious; how difficult is this nocturne relative to Chopin’s other nocturnes?
World class performance, I would dare to say better IMHO than a lot of the performances by famous people on famous pianos on UA-cam, which is a very hard feat to pull off, you are simply unbelievable, bravo!!!!
My father used to play this so beautifully, it inspired me to memorize the notes and play it for my own enjoyment. I never had piano lessons, but I learned to play the first part (before all the big chords) when I was in Jr. high school. I can still play it after fifty years. It is my favorite Chopin Nocturne. I just started learning Op. 55 No. 1 this week, since I noticed how easy it is to play. Can't wait to make it sound as beautiful as I can!
This is my favorite of Chopin's Nocturne's. That lead into and shift at 2:00 is really something and then it just builds and builds and builds. God it's so amazing!
That's one of my most favourite of Chopin's music , you can really hear the sorrow behind the sound and what he went through emotionally to write this piece. Every time I play it , I can't but to tear up a bit.
I have been listening to this nocturne for a while now and it inspires the same emotions every time. It’s full of so many moods, but there is something beautifully nihilistic about it. To me it’s almost like one is accepting their perpetual despair while still acknowledging the hypothetical reality of beauty, happiness, and contentment that will always be just out of reach and therefore creates frustration. To me, this nocturne is the epitome of the pain that comes with the loss of memories. It’s the feeling one gets when nostalgic retrospection gets stripped away by present despair.
I dont know what this piece makes you feel but for me, it feels like being suppressed. Like wanting to do something but not being able to or trying to say something, wanting to say, but not being able to, or just better not to do. Its like holding something inside even if you know it will be a weight in your back. I literally cried at first time I heard this. 😭
@@trollmallow924 no *YOU* should be sorry about your way of thinking about his or her logic in the very first place, everyone has different opinions, so? You are here to point that out as logic? 🤦♂️🤦♂️ Your logic of thinking that an opinion is a way of logic is basically shit. You have no idea what you are even talking about in the first place. Dude, they are called opinions, not ways of logic, so basically it is fair enough to say you should be sorry about yourself, because you put yourself into a bad situation in which you did not understand yourself and therefore you have basically insulted yourself without knowing it, showing that you my friend, Have *NO KNOWLEDGE AY ALL*!! 🙂😉
One of Chopin's finest works, I'm currently learning this after 3 years of piano, I'm glad that this was posted at the same time, makes me want to keep practicing, thank you
@@themoroccanpianist8953 if you go to my channel, you'll see that I also tried other hard Chopin pieces, maybe harder than this one but I can't tell for sure until it's fully "in my fingers'", what I can tell you is it's pretty hard to remember for starters
@@themoroccanpianist8953I’m a self taught with about 3-4 years of playing and so far it’s not that bad but I just started learning. My first piece was moonlight sonata 1st movement

Andrew and The Art of Piano I think it has the perfect amount of recognition. Think about it, if it was more popular than it is, that would kinda ruin its charm. Imagine if it was constantly playing on the radio like other mainstream pop songs. I think it’s better that it’s like this because it shows that only a certain classy person can enjoy such an art.
@@them9dij455 Hard disagree. If more people listened to classical, more people would compose it. The more who compose it, the more classical music we get. All we get now is film scores and the Modern Art equivelant of music that is contemporary classical.
@@PuddintameXYZ the thing is, there are loads of new composers already. They're just not brought to light because of the likes of the person below your comment who said something stupid along the lines of "no need for new composers, just listen to what's already written". People who listen to classical music (not the musicians, just the audience) tend to be closed to any kind of fresh air, and if it's not one of the sacro saint composers we all love, they won't even bother listen to 10 seconds of a piece. I doubt having more classical on the radio would change that
Valentina Lisitsa's comments on this nocturne for more background information: One of Chopin's most priceless performance remarks is at the beginning of this Nocturne -- "sotto voce". Just like that : not a girlish "piano" , not an ambivalent "mezzo forte" , not even meaty forte ( the last thing you want here is an "opera" voice for this melody ).It effectively bars all over-the-top cheap and showy "expressive emotions" -- no eye rolling allowed , no hair flailing, no hands flying , no sobs , no visible tears.... A musical equivalent of the famed British " keeping a stiff upper lip "- this "sotto voce" gives us the right sense of what this piece is about .Just as Chopin's 2nd sonata this nocturne deals directly and openly with such tragic subjects as death, loss and grief ... except , here you are allowed to leave personal comments. 2nd sonata is a depiction of all those things , this Nocturne is a commentary- or an epitaph.....the fifth movement that would come after the Finale ...If you ever visit La Madeleine in Paris ( Chopin's parish church where his funeral was held on October 30th ) think about this Nocturne , OK?
Ohhh, this Nocturne is a true gem! I love the development of the melody, and the left hand has a very warm sound! I once composed a melody similar to the first section of this piece, but then decided to discard it because it seemed a bit off to me... some weeks after that I discovered that I unknowingly copied Chopin, and this has already happened to me with Shostakovich’s Second Waltz... It seems my mind can’t think of a new melody on its own, hehehe! Anyway, as you told us in your comment, this is a hard piece, but you played with such precision... it is astonishing, under all aspects. You are an amazing pianist, Kassia, I Hope you’ll become famous at a world-wide level, the world needs true passionate executions as yours, thank you!
Hi, Lux!:) I am flattered. This Nocturne is a true gem!:) It's really hard piece, so I had to spend lots of time. I am really happy that you like it! Thank you so much for your words and support!:)
I also did this with some of chopin's nocturnes and literally the right hand of his ballade 4. I'm now having trouble as everything I write is essentially the same as his. H e l p
Well played. Chopin was such a master, no classical composer can move me like Chopin. Just composing one of these pieces is an amazing accomplishment, and he created so many good ones, it´s unbelievable.
An immortal piece that is so majestic that it creates its own atmosphere. Those tragic notes in the beginning and the return of the main theme is just structure of a masterpiece. Such remarkable composition gives me vivid visuals about this piece. Visuals so intricate that it defies the dimensional barriers of the physical structures in all the possible parallel realms. It teeters between the reality and the cross reality in infinite time loop yeah I’m high as fuck right now.
@@botondkerenyi1154 the way Chopin composed it is even deeper, with such a dreary raw emotion that I wouldn't even dare to imagine what he thought about when he composed this sorrowful masterpiece. As for a personal thought of this piece, it makes me think like Chopin was screaming out for help, because he couldn't overcome his pitiful situation, his disease and his life's sorrows.
Hey Kassia, I havnt left a comment in while but I still watch all your videos. I just wanted to say this is my favorite nocturne and I greatly enjoyed hearing your interpretation of this piece. I hope to be able to play this piece someday to :) Amazing work and stay healthy!
Long time no talk, Deadpool!:) Always thank you for your support. I remember you. I am glad that it is your favorite. I hope that you and your family are healthy!!
This piece literally gave me chills, especially at 4:00!🤩 There are so many Chopin nocturnes I haven't properly listened to yet, this was one of them. This piece and you are both amazing! 😀 I'll have to listen to the rest of the nocturnes soon 🙂
Hi, Stephen!:) Nocturnes are really great!🤩 Always thank you for your support! I am happy that I can introduce Nocturne which you haven't listen to yet.
Okay I’m just gonna be honest asf right now. I have severe depression and you videos help me out immensely. Like I don’t know where I’d be if I didn’t have ur videos to help me through the day. THANK YOU SO MUCH ❤️💙❤️💙
So melancholic and dreamy! I love it! The slow tempo and c minor key give it an almost eerie atmosphere and encompass sorrow, however not all is lost, as the key changed to C major, indicating at some happy memories. It was full of hope and then the tempo changed, got faster and captured the short and sad life of the romantic artist. The first theme is repeated, turning the artist away from the dream and into the real world as the tempo is now fast and chaotic. The composer shows off his master skills of playing. Then it all goes dark and ends in slow, c minor chords. So sad, but beautiful! Thank you for this piece by our beloved composer, who in my opinion, died way too young and had so much more to compose if he were to live longer.
Anyone else completing obsessed with Chopin music, listens to nocturnes everyday? This is one of my favourites to listen to, plus many others. Never tried playing it yet but omg the ending transports me each time… I’m amazed how he could come up with such incredibly elegant music that is complex but at the same time simple. My all time favourite is nocturne op 27 n 2 which I could listen to on repeat non stop 😅😅😅❤❤❤
A bit of a tip, you can play the top a flat with your right hand thumb for those notes so you don't have to roll them. Thankfully Chopin never wrote too many ridiculous intervals :D
This is definitely my favorite nocturne. I really like when the beginning melody comes back later in the piece. I really like your interpretation and performance :)
Dudaklarım kilitli, hoşça kal bugün, sen de yolcusun Dünlerimde sorgusun ve yirmi dörtlük yorgunsun Git de dinlen gidenlerle Yarınım kapıda bekliyor ve son veda zamanı
Chopin's opus 48 set of nocturnes are definitely some of the best nocturnes. (op.48 no.2 is way underated) edit: and i forgot to mention - very well played
All I ask is to see the face of the person who helps me find inner calm at this time when the world is upset by covid19 and where our minds are constantly questioning. Thank you very much for this embellishment. The taste of good music knows no boundaries because I listen to you from my native village BENEBALOT in Cameroon. At the University my comrades thought that I was leaving the lodges because I softened my nights with MOZART, BEETHOVEN, BACH, CHOPLIN or Vivaldi
I have listened to countless interpretations of this nocturne by many different world class pianists and I keep coming back to this one. The amount of raw emotion and dynamic contrast you displayed in the doppio movimento was breathtaking and showed Chopin’s true intentions with this piece. Incredible job, Kassia!
Damn, you really have me tearing up. I think this is my favorite version of this nocturne; it’s the perfect blend of angst, sorrow, and even desperate hope. Thank you so much
Again and again I find more chopin masterpieces. The list is ever-growing, ballde no.1, ballade no.4, scherzo no.2, this, sonata no.2, waltz in a minor, grand polonaise brilliante, fantasie Impromptu, there's too many to remember.
This is an amazing rendition of my favorite Nocturne from Chopin! I grew tired from hearing Rubinstein over and over again, and finally she has answered with her excellent interpretation! I absolutely love the slower tempo. Almost makes me want to practice this (even though I can never pull off all the octaves lol). Kassia, if you're reading this, please allow me to make some recommendations/request: can you play Chopin's Nocturne Op. 55 No. 1? I also think that Chopins Waltz Op. 64 No. 3 and Op. 69 No. 2 are two very beautiful pieces that are underrated. Once again, thank you for your brilliant playing!
Every single one of Chopins Nocturnes is a timeless masterwork. Thank you Kassia for playing this piece with such deft emotion and clarity. You perfectly switch between the complicated technical parts and the raw emotion hidden behind the simplest note. There is a fundamental truth expressed in all of Chopins pieces that you really brought to light in this performance.
Of all the interpretations I’ve heard of this nocturne, yours is the one that brings me the most melancholy. What great skill at the piano! Congratulations from Chile :-)
0:00 - The piece opens in a deeply somber tone, reflecting his overwhelming sadness and despair. 0:24 - A fleeting moment of hope emerges, but it quickly fades, leaving him even more disheartened. 0:44 - A distant, foggy memory surfaces-perhaps something positive-but it quickly dissipates, plunging him back into melancholia, emphasizing the depth of his devastation. 1:04 - He can no longer contain his emotions. He’s on the verge of quietly breaking down in his loneliness, teetering between control and complete vulnerability. 1:12 - The 4th chord of a minor scale, accompanied by a painful 9th, perfectly mirrors his sadness. At this point, he’s at his lowest, yearning desperately to feel good about himself. 1:27 - Slowly, anger begins to build within him, rising like a suppressed storm, but it fades away as the section transitions. 2:03 - Here, he reflects on happier times-perhaps his childhood or memories of a loved one. The melody is tender and filled with warmth, providing a brief moment of solace. He uses techniques such as pedaling on one note which makes the music appear more foggy, and at a breif moment he transitions to a beautiful progression I-vi-iii-I which gives us the feeling of nostalgia and that the memory is very far away. 3:03 - Reality begins to close in, and the truth becomes unavoidable: he is suffering, deeply depressed, and on the verge of madness. The intensity builds as his mind spirals out of control and tries to fight the darkness. 4:00 - He’s reached his breaking point. The music explodes in a devastating reprise of the opening theme, now more raw and anguished. 4:38 - He can no longer hold back. The emotional weight is unbearable. 4:43 - Chopin is screaming through his music-screaming from the depths of his suffering, drowning in negativity, and breaking down into tears. From here on, the music is a pure expression of pain, unrelenting and raw.
After listening to this magnificent interpretation, I've been searching the web for a better one, and I could not find it. Congratulations! Sometimes when you listen to a piece, you have the impression that "that is the way the author wanted it to be played, exactly". I think you have achieved that here!
"When you feel trapped and been dragged down, came a light that says everything will be alright. Slowly it lift you up and you then run and push yourself to break that barrier. That light... Was yourself all the long. " - This is my interpretation on this wonderful piece.
Magical! I am just about to dive into this piece now. I have about 12 pieces by Chopin stacked up now. Chopin is my favorite. As time allows.. I dig into them a bit at a time. Chopin only lived to be 39. How is it possible he created all of this beautiful music? He is a legend.
By far, my favorite pianist on UA-cam. I love that we have very similar interpretations of this beautiful melody, even as far as picking the same colors for the visualization. Amazing what music can do to people.
This confirms something to me. Years ago a blind pianist called Judith Raskin, a student under Earle Voorhies, played this composition of Chopin and her performance was so transcendently beautiful it haunted me for years. Until now I haven't heard anyone play it so convincingly but this performance brought it back. This pianist is definitely one of a kind, a true artist!

What about his G Minor ballade? That’s pretty emotional too, outright Beethovenian at times.
So, basically me?
I don't think it sounds bad at all, I feel it captures more a feeling of ending something that has been happening for a long time
Lol doppio movimiento. Holy Shizz that's a jjba reference.
That moment in 3:08 when the calm gets suddenly interrupted by ‘intrusive thoughts’… and then seems like Chopin refuses to return into the sadness of the piece and tries to bring up the calm but it doesnt stop getting interrupted by those raging emotions, that finally (in 4:01) flourish into a dramatic fall for the sadness and acceptance of his emotions.

I agree. This is literally the only piece I can play on the piano and I want to learn more of Chopin’s nocturnes, so I was curious; how difficult is this nocturne relative to Chopin’s other nocturnes?
@@조조조-w8c about the same difficulty. try nocturne op9 no2
World class performance, I would dare to say better IMHO than a lot of the performances by famous people on famous pianos on UA-cam, which is a very hard feat to pull off, you are simply unbelievable, bravo!!!!
Thank you so much for your complement!:) I am glad that you like it!:)
My father used to play this so beautifully, it inspired me to memorize the notes and play it for my own enjoyment.
I never had piano lessons, but I learned to play the first part (before all the big chords) when I was in Jr. high school. I can still play it after fifty years.
It is my favorite Chopin Nocturne.
I just started learning Op. 55 No. 1 this week, since I noticed how easy it is to play. Can't wait to make it sound as beautiful as I can!
This is my favorite of Chopin's Nocturne's. That lead into and shift at 2:00 is really something and then it just builds and builds and builds. God it's so amazing!
4:42 is a masterpiece himself.

Chopin and Kassia are just two words that go together like no and school.
Always Thank you for your support, Music farm life!!:)
@Alfred Chen it’s not
Or De and pression
That's one of my most favourite of Chopin's music , you can really hear the sorrow behind the sound and what he went through emotionally to write this piece. Every time I play it , I can't but to tear up a bit.
I have been listening to this nocturne for a while now and it inspires the same emotions every time. It’s full of so many moods, but there is something beautifully nihilistic about it. To me it’s almost like one is accepting their perpetual despair while still acknowledging the hypothetical reality of beauty, happiness, and contentment that will always be just out of reach and therefore creates frustration. To me, this nocturne is the epitome of the pain that comes with the loss of memories. It’s the feeling one gets when nostalgic retrospection gets stripped away by present despair.
I dont know what this piece makes you feel but for me, it feels like being suppressed. Like wanting to do something but not being able to or trying to say something, wanting to say, but not being able to, or just better not to do. Its like holding something inside even if you know it will be a weight in your back. I literally cried at first time I heard this. 😭
This is THE ultimate nocturne :D it's beautiful
so much emotion, loved the slow interpretation
Which one's last?
Thank you for your words, Daniel.:)💕
@@oscaracosta4508 last he wrote was the nocturne no 21 in c minor
@@jukeban646Actually not. This was the last one to be published but it was composed in 1837. The last nocturne he wrote was his Op. 62 No. 2, in 1846
My favorite piece of all time! You can really hear Chopin's pain at 4:00 . Great performance Kassia!
Kassia is so underrated
Thank you for your words.:) I will prepare lots of great pieces.💕
Levent Karapınar you should be sorry about your logic rather than your english
@@trollmallow924 bruh that roast tho
@@trollmallow924 DAYUUUM, but you are right
@@trollmallow924 no *YOU* should be sorry about your way of thinking about his or her logic in the very first place, everyone has different opinions, so? You are here to point that out as logic? 🤦♂️🤦♂️ Your logic of thinking that an opinion is a way of logic is basically shit. You have no idea what you are even talking about in the first place. Dude, they are called opinions, not ways of logic, so basically it is fair enough to say you should be sorry about yourself, because you put yourself into a bad situation in which you did not understand yourself and therefore you have basically insulted yourself without knowing it, showing that you my friend, Have *NO KNOWLEDGE AY ALL*!! 🙂😉
One of Chopin's finest works, I'm currently learning this after 3 years of piano, I'm glad that this was posted at the same time, makes me want to keep practicing, thank you
How hard do you find it ?
@@themoroccanpianist8953 if you go to my channel, you'll see that I also tried other hard Chopin pieces, maybe harder than this one but I can't tell for sure until it's fully "in my fingers'", what I can tell you is it's pretty hard to remember for starters
@@themoroccanpianist8953I’m a self taught with about 3-4 years of playing and so far it’s not that bad but I just started learning. My first piece was moonlight sonata 1st movement
This might not be the most famous Chopin's nocturne. But certainly it is the most beautiful!
And the hardest
@@thegayass4323 yeah it is even rated above polonaise op 44 F sharp in difficulty, its insane
@@artrubenkaljund3660I can play liebestraum, revolutionary etude and Fantaisie impromptu so when I first heard this I thought this was easy and I would be able to play it but then I saw the sheet music at the fast part and tried to replicate it…it’s honestly harder than anything I’ve tried to learned…
@@artrubenkaljund3660the left hand part is hard on its own and bringing out the melody with the pinky while suppressing everything else is TOUGH. Definitely very technically and musically difficult
@@baldmista1907 I can also play those haha and I actually know how to bring out the melody with the pinky because I have played an etude just to train it I think I could tackle it
Anyone else thinks classical music is underrated in the modern world??
Andrew and The Art of Piano I think it has the perfect amount of recognition. Think about it, if it was more popular than it is, that would kinda ruin its charm. Imagine if it was constantly playing on the radio like other mainstream pop songs. I think it’s better that it’s like this because it shows that only a certain classy person can enjoy such an art.
@@them9dij455 Hard disagree. If more people listened to classical, more people would compose it. The more who compose it, the more classical music we get. All we get now is film scores and the Modern Art equivelant of music that is contemporary classical.
@@PuddintameXYZ the thing is, there are loads of new composers already. They're just not brought to light because of the likes of the person below your comment who said something stupid along the lines of "no need for new composers, just listen to what's already written". People who listen to classical music (not the musicians, just the audience) tend to be closed to any kind of fresh air, and if it's not one of the sacro saint composers we all love, they won't even bother listen to 10 seconds of a piece. I doubt having more classical on the radio would change that
I would say under appreciated rather than underrated
They are a lot of contemporany composers, the fact is that those composers nobody know them.
Valentina Lisitsa's comments on this nocturne for more background information:
One of Chopin's most priceless performance remarks is at the beginning of this Nocturne -- "sotto voce". Just like that : not a girlish "piano" , not an ambivalent "mezzo forte" , not even meaty forte ( the last thing you want here is an "opera" voice for this melody ).It effectively bars all over-the-top cheap and showy "expressive emotions" -- no eye rolling allowed , no hair flailing, no hands flying , no sobs , no visible tears.... A musical equivalent of the famed British " keeping a stiff upper lip "- this "sotto voce" gives us the right sense of what this piece is about .Just as Chopin's 2nd sonata this nocturne deals directly and openly with such tragic subjects as death, loss and grief ... except , here you are allowed to leave personal comments. 2nd sonata is a depiction of all those things , this Nocturne is a commentary- or an epitaph.....the fifth movement that would come after the Finale ...If you ever visit La Madeleine in Paris ( Chopin's parish church where his funeral was held on October 30th ) think about this Nocturne , OK?
Amazing
Ohhh, this Nocturne is a true gem! I love the development of the melody, and the left hand has a very warm sound!
I once composed a melody similar to the first section of this piece, but then decided to discard it because it seemed a bit off to me... some weeks after that I discovered that I unknowingly copied Chopin, and this has already happened to me with Shostakovich’s Second Waltz... It seems my mind can’t think of a new melody on its own, hehehe!
Anyway, as you told us in your comment, this is a hard piece, but you played with such precision... it is astonishing, under all aspects.
You are an amazing pianist, Kassia, I Hope you’ll become famous at a world-wide level, the world needs true passionate executions as yours, thank you!
Hi, Lux!:) I am flattered. This Nocturne is a true gem!:) It's really hard piece, so I had to spend lots of time. I am really happy that you like it! Thank you so much for your words and support!:)
Lux Aeterna ci rivediamo =3
Non ricordo bene, chi sei? :}
I also did this with some of chopin's nocturnes and literally the right hand of his ballade 4. I'm now having trouble as everything I write is essentially the same as his. H e l p
@@Kassiapiano Kassia how long did it take you to perfect this piece?
Well played. Chopin was such a master, no classical composer can move me like Chopin. Just composing one of these pieces is an amazing accomplishment, and he created so many good ones, it´s unbelievable.
An immortal piece that is so majestic that it creates its own atmosphere. Those tragic notes in the beginning and the return of the main theme is just structure of a masterpiece. Such remarkable composition gives me vivid visuals about this piece. Visuals so intricate that it defies the dimensional barriers of the physical structures in all the possible parallel realms. It teeters between the reality and the cross reality in infinite time loop yeah I’m high as fuck right now.
ua-cam.com/channels/F4WNzluz2tid1nlBba40Mw.html
truly masterful, this is also done in estampes: I. Pagodes. by debussy
Bro it's not that deep
@@botondkerenyi1154 the way Chopin composed it is even deeper, with such a dreary raw emotion that I wouldn't even dare to imagine what he thought about when he composed this sorrowful masterpiece. As for a personal thought of this piece, it makes me think like Chopin was screaming out for help, because he couldn't overcome his pitiful situation, his disease and his life's sorrows.
Hey Kassia, I havnt left a comment in while but I still watch all your videos. I just wanted to say this is my favorite nocturne and I greatly enjoyed hearing your interpretation of this piece. I hope to be able to play this piece someday to :) Amazing work and stay healthy!
Long time no talk, Deadpool!:) Always thank you for your support. I remember you. I am glad that it is your favorite. I hope that you and your family are healthy!!
This piece literally gave me chills, especially at 4:00!🤩 There are so many Chopin nocturnes I haven't properly listened to yet, this was one of them. This piece and you are both amazing! 😀
I'll have to listen to the rest of the nocturnes soon 🙂
Hi, Stephen!:) Nocturnes are really great!🤩 Always thank you for your support! I am happy that I can introduce Nocturne which you haven't listen to yet.
I recommend taking the time to listen through all 21 of them, it's definitely worth it
This piece feels so vague yet so elegant
Okay I’m just gonna be honest asf right now. I have severe depression and you videos help me out immensely. Like I don’t know where I’d be if I didn’t have ur videos to help me through the day. THANK YOU SO MUCH ❤️💙❤️💙
So melancholic and dreamy! I love it! The slow tempo and c minor key give it an almost eerie atmosphere and encompass sorrow, however not all is lost, as the key changed to C major, indicating at some happy memories. It was full of hope and then the tempo changed, got faster and captured the short and sad life of the romantic artist. The first theme is repeated, turning the artist away from the dream and into the real world as the tempo is now fast and chaotic. The composer shows off his master skills of playing. Then it all goes dark and ends in slow, c minor chords. So sad, but beautiful! Thank you for this piece by our beloved composer, who in my opinion, died way too young and had so much more to compose if he were to live longer.
Yeah
Omg my favourite nocturne!
Enjoy it.:) Thank you!💕
My favourite nocturne is the 20.
Its my birthday today and this piece makes it sound like my funeral.
RIP :D
funny
Happy RIP
This is one of the most beautiful pieces I’ve ever heard, and played very well too!
There will always be Chopin's music being performed, played, and loved and giving such comfort each day.
Anyone else completing obsessed with Chopin music, listens to nocturnes everyday? This is one of my favourites to listen to, plus many others. Never tried playing it yet but omg the ending transports me each time… I’m amazed how he could come up with such incredibly elegant music that is complex but at the same time simple.
My all time favourite is nocturne op 27 n 2 which I could listen to on repeat non stop 😅😅😅❤❤❤
Splendid peice of work. There is a reason why Chopin is my favourite composer. Kassia you nailed it with your mesmerizing talent.
This one is very moving. :'>
Really love how you interpret the piece, Kassia. 🖤
Thank you for your words, Julia.:)💕
Amazing playing! You truly know how to embody Chopin’s music like no one else.
The notes drop out of the soul and onto the piano ... Emotion at its most noble
1:19 my tiny hands are shivering
Usui Takumi I wonder how a girl can reach that far without any problems 🤔
@@ducanhtrannn99 i have a friend, her fingers are longer than mine , i can reach 11th (barely).
Usui Takumi, you can play it with both hands
A bit of a tip, you can play the top a flat with your right hand thumb for those notes so you don't have to roll them. Thankfully Chopin never wrote too many ridiculous intervals :D
This is why I love Chopin! Also this is why I love this channel! 😁
Hi, Vuk!:) Always thank you for your support!!:)
I see Chopin, I get excited.
I see Chopin AND Kassia...
*i have no words to describe this beautiful interpretation*
This is definitely my favorite nocturne. I really like when the beginning melody comes back later in the piece. I really like your interpretation and performance :)
Hi. S. B Piano!! Thank you for your support!
Long hours of practice and dedication plus the music gene = Concert pianists. I appreciate all of them out there
Dudaklarım kilitli, hoşça kal bugün, sen de yolcusun

5:20 that b natural is always the most satisfying thing to play ever.
Chopin's opus 48 set of nocturnes are definitely some of the best nocturnes. (op.48 no.2 is way underated)
edit: and i forgot to mention - very well played
Chopin´s best nocturne
Agree, im also a big fan of nocturne op 48 no 2
Op 9 No 2
All I ask is to see the face of the person who helps me find inner calm at this time when the world is upset by covid19 and where our minds are constantly questioning. Thank you very much for this embellishment.
The taste of good music knows no boundaries because I listen to you from my native village BENEBALOT in Cameroon. At the University my comrades thought that I was leaving the lodges because I softened my nights with MOZART, BEETHOVEN, BACH, CHOPLIN or Vivaldi
I’ve never been this early I don’t know what to say.
Edit: Excellent rendition.
lol Thank you for watching!:)💕
I have listened to countless interpretations of this nocturne by many different world class pianists and I keep coming back to this one. The amount of raw emotion and dynamic contrast you displayed in the doppio movimento was breathtaking and showed Chopin’s true intentions with this piece. Incredible job, Kassia!
Not everyone can express emotions when making music. This is so good...
Man I felt like crying after listening to that, you played this piece very well. I'm very happy to have stumbled across your channel.
Many people play it
It's called tutorial bit I can't learn like watching 😅
Kassia's interpretations of Chopin are always the best
Damn, you really have me tearing up. I think this is my favorite version of this nocturne; it’s the perfect blend of angst, sorrow, and even desperate hope.
Thank you so much
Again and again I find more chopin masterpieces. The list is ever-growing, ballde no.1, ballade no.4, scherzo no.2, this, sonata no.2, waltz in a minor, grand polonaise brilliante, fantasie Impromptu, there's too many to remember.
and he did it all by 39 years of age
This is an amazing rendition of my favorite Nocturne from Chopin! I grew tired from hearing Rubinstein over and over again, and finally she has answered with her excellent interpretation! I absolutely love the slower tempo. Almost makes me want to practice this (even though I can never pull off all the octaves lol).
Kassia, if you're reading this, please allow me to make some recommendations/request: can you play Chopin's Nocturne Op. 55 No. 1? I also think that Chopins Waltz Op. 64 No. 3 and Op. 69 No. 2 are two very beautiful pieces that are underrated.
Once again, thank you for your brilliant playing!
Every single one of Chopins Nocturnes is a timeless masterwork. Thank you Kassia for playing this piece with such deft emotion and clarity. You perfectly switch between the complicated technical parts and the raw emotion hidden behind the simplest note. There is a fundamental truth expressed in all of Chopins pieces that you really brought to light in this performance.
Of all the interpretations I’ve heard of this nocturne, yours is the one that brings me the most melancholy. What great skill at the piano! Congratulations from Chile :-)
TRUELY AMAZING FAVOURITE CHOPIN PIECE !!
Hi, Jake!:) It's an amazing piece. Thank you!💕
Acımasızca geçip giden zamandan geriye kalan sadece yalnızlıklarımız..
0:00 - The piece opens in a deeply somber tone, reflecting his overwhelming sadness and despair.
0:24 - A fleeting moment of hope emerges, but it quickly fades, leaving him even more disheartened.
0:44 - A distant, foggy memory surfaces-perhaps something positive-but it quickly dissipates, plunging him back into melancholia, emphasizing the depth of his devastation.
1:04 - He can no longer contain his emotions. He’s on the verge of quietly breaking down in his loneliness, teetering between control and complete vulnerability.
1:12 - The 4th chord of a minor scale, accompanied by a painful 9th, perfectly mirrors his sadness. At this point, he’s at his lowest, yearning desperately to feel good about himself.
1:27 - Slowly, anger begins to build within him, rising like a suppressed storm, but it fades away as the section transitions.
2:03 - Here, he reflects on happier times-perhaps his childhood or memories of a loved one. The melody is tender and filled with warmth, providing a brief moment of solace. He uses techniques such as pedaling on one note which makes the music appear more foggy, and at a breif moment he transitions to a beautiful progression I-vi-iii-I which gives us the feeling of nostalgia and that the memory is very far away.
3:03 - Reality begins to close in, and the truth becomes unavoidable: he is suffering, deeply depressed, and on the verge of madness. The intensity builds as his mind spirals out of control and tries to fight the darkness.
4:00 - He’s reached his breaking point. The music explodes in a devastating reprise of the opening theme, now more raw and anguished.
4:38 - He can no longer hold back. The emotional weight is unbearable.
4:43 - Chopin is screaming through his music-screaming from the depths of his suffering, drowning in negativity, and breaking down into tears. From here on, the music is a pure expression of pain, unrelenting and raw.
4:05 right hand, K as in Kassia. Beautiful. Goosebumps evverytime. Thank you for this performance
After listening to this magnificent interpretation, I've been searching the web for a better one, and I could not find it. Congratulations!
Sometimes when you listen to a piece, you have the impression that "that is the way the author wanted it to be played, exactly". I think you have achieved that here!
This is by far the best interpretation of this piece! This is simply a whole different level! Thank you a lot. !
The B section has excellent voicing on the right hand pinky highlighting the melody
"When you feel trapped and been dragged down, came a light that says everything will be alright. Slowly it lift you up and you then run and push yourself to break that barrier. That light... Was yourself all the long.
"
- This is my interpretation on this wonderful piece.
Rice
I mean nice
one of the most beautiful stories ever told.
I cant stop coming back to this , thankyou Kassia.
Magical! I am just about to dive into this piece now. I have about 12 pieces by Chopin stacked up now. Chopin is my favorite. As time allows.. I dig into them a bit at a time. Chopin only lived to be 39. How is it possible he created all of this beautiful music? He is a legend.
4:01 The most ravishing part. Speechless
같은 곡 연주들이 많지만 항상 이곳으로 돌아오지요..제가 정말 좋아하는 음색이고. 가장 제 취향을 저격하는 연주예요..더 많은 사람이 듣길 바랍니다. 100만까지 화이팅
chopin - nocturne Op. 48 No. 1 is the greatest piece of music ever created and you can't convince me otherwise.
By far, my favorite pianist on UA-cam. I love that we have very similar interpretations of this beautiful melody, even as far as picking the same colors for the visualization. Amazing what music can do to people.
Man you give me all the feels. Your dynamics are excellent and your interpretation of the piece is just so appropriate and fitting
Absolutely beautiful it's so subtle yet majestic
Thank you, Ricardo.:)💕
やっぱりこの方の弾き方とても好きです💗
かっこいい曲はバッと弾いてくださるし、今回のような美しい曲は強弱もありつつ儚げに弾いていて...素人耳にもお上手なのが伝わってきます💭
Absolutely in love with the part at 3:59
Classical Era and the creation of western philosophy both were the most beautiful era's of EUROPE.

4:35 you can hear some kind of magic, some kind of genius at work. The pure, raw emotion.
This confirms something to me. Years ago a blind pianist called Judith Raskin, a student under Earle Voorhies, played this composition of Chopin and her performance was so transcendently beautiful it haunted me for years. Until now I haven't heard anyone play it so convincingly but this performance brought it back. This pianist is definitely one of a kind, a true artist!
With this nocturne, I won a competition in St. Petersburg ... A piece that is forever in my heart...❤️❤️
С этим ноктюрном я выиграла конкурс в Питере... Произведение, которое навсегда в моём сердце❤️
Congrats dude, this nocturne is also really hard. As challenging as Chopin's Etudes
