Chopin's Nocturne No. 20. Although he never published it during his life, it remains to this day one of his most notable works, and one of the most hauntingly beautiful piano pieces ever written. The melody captures the sense of hope, but despair at the same time, with Chopin masterfully playing around with tension and resolution and creating a whole world of color just through the piano. I hope you're having a great start to the week ♥

Suonavo la Goccia , e mi si è svuotata la testa, non riuscivo. Dopo l'esibizione degli altri il maestro mi ha richiamato sul palco ci sono andata come al patibolo, ho suonato in fretta e senza passione. Suono con gioia per me, non per gli altri. Questo è il primo saggio dopo 5 anni, speriamo non si ripresenti il blocco mentale è imbarazzante. Quella volta avevo invitato dei conoscenti, questa volta non lo dico a nessuno. :-)

Listening to this enchanting composition is like experiencing a voyage through the depths of one's soul. Truly a gem in the world of classical music!

There's this story that Chopin's C sharp minor is about a man on the brink of his sanity. Alone on a dark gloomy room, he reminisces the sorrowful things that happened to him. He cried and cried until he came to the point when laughter has replaced his tears. Then finally as the song ends he finds peace.

Chopin is my favorite! He has a way of reaching out to the personal emotional side of people like no other composer has done. His music is sooo beautifully exquisite..it is maybe from the edge of the universe!

Chopin's music is truly a gift for the soul. His compositions not only resonate with sounds but also touch the deepest emotions. When I listen to his works, I feel as if my soul is soaring on the wings of his music, transporting me to a world full of beauty and melancholy. Every note, every chord seems to be an expression of his sensitivity and brilliance. It's an extraordinary experience that brings me not only pleasure but also profound emotion. Chopin had the ability to capture emotions in their purest form, and his music is like the language of the heart, touching everyone who has the pleasure of listening to it.

I totally agree with you. I don't care about people saying that he is not the best because for me he IS THE BEST. He awakens some feelings in me that can't be awaken by any other composer

I will always remember this as the piece Wladyslaw Szpilman plays so sorrowfully well.

Your playing makes me cry. My mom has had a stroke and listening to your music and viewing my mother on a webcam in a paralyzed state creates rivers of tears. Thank you for this lifetime memory.

Liszt playing this at the end: This piece is very very easy

Played this as one of my ABRSM grade 7 piano pieces, and I found the story of The Little Match Girl fits quite nice to this piece: Starts with misery and cold, then goes back and forth between hope and cruelty as the girl lights the matches and they extinguish. The last arpeggios match the last scene of the girl dying peacefully in her deceased grandmother's embrace.

My boyfriend would play this a lot on the piano and I was listening to local classical radio station and they played a little of this piece and got reminded of it. So I just spent the last hour scouring through Chopin piano pieces because I did remember it was Chopin and I started to get kinda sad because I couldn’t find it but then I found it here. Beautiful piece, beautiful performance I love it. Thanks ❤

It feels good that this masterpieces from Mozzard, Chopin, Vivaldi and other briliant people never dies. Through time you listen to this, it feels so much easier to understand it, to fell it’s emotions. This geniuses made music so much better.

Thanks to your channel I know more about Chopins piece than I initially knew. This piece is definitely my favorite among all of his other works. Its eerie and haunts ones mind(in a good way)

This brought me here: "Beginning in August 1944, Szpilman was hiding out in an abandoned building at al. Niepodległości 223. In November, he was discovered there by a German officer, Captain Wilm Hosenfeld. To Szpilman's surprise, the officer did not arrest or kill him; after discovering that the emaciated Szpilman was a pianist, Hosenfeld asked him to play something. (A piano was on the ground floor.) Szpilman played Chopin's Nocturne in C-sharp minor. After that, the officer showed Szpilman a better place to hide and brought him bread and jam on numerous occasions. He also offered Szpilman one of his coats to keep warm in the freezing temperatures. Szpilman did not know the name of the German officer until 1951. Despite the efforts of Szpilman and the Poles to rescue Hosenfeld, he died in a Soviet prisoner of war camp in 1952." ---- Wikipedia,

This scene is the dramatic climax of Roman Polanski's film The Pianist, but for dramatic effect Polanski substitutes the G-minor ballade, a more fitting climax to a story of struggle and survival. However, the film opens with Szpilman playing this nocturne on Polish Radio, until a bomb explodes nearby and he has to stop. Then, after the war, he plays it again and finishes it. This alludes to a Polish legend: when the Mongols invaded Poland in the 13th century and reached the city of Kraków, a bugler climbed up the steeple of the Marian Church and blew his bugle to alert the citizens, but a Mongol arrow struck him in the throat, abruptly breaking off the bugle call. That interrupted bugle-call, the Hejnał Mariacki, was the call signal of Polish radio, and the story of a concert cut short by a bomb - music interrupted by war - was popular in Poland. Generally, though, an unnamed pianist was playing the A-flat ("Heroic") polonaise, a suitably stirring and patriotic piece. Polanski substituted this nocturne as more fitting for a Holocaust film. The whole story is bogus, however. In his memoir, Szpilman says that he played a complete concert and went home, while the station continued with recorded music. When it stopped broadcasting - not because of bomb, but because the power went out - it was playing Rachmaninoff's 2nd piano concerto. But it wouldn't do to have the music of a Russian composer at such a time, of course. The original legend is also bogus: the Marian Church wasn't buiIt until the 14th century, and the story first shows up in the 18th century. Actual history is rarely so tidy and symbolic. But the scene in the movie really did happen.
