F. Chopin - Nocturne in D-flat major Op. 27 no. 2- analysis - Greg Niemczuk's lecture.

Hello, normally i dont write ANY comments, but for you i do. You dont want to sell us something, dont tell us to subscribe or like your videos. You create your videos out of passion and love to classical music. Every time i watch your videos, i believe in the good part of humanity. Your explanation is very deep and moving. The thing, i loved the most is that you said, you would sacrifice 1 year of your life, just to hear Chopin playing 1 time . Keep doing what you love. Greetings from Germany.

I count this among his best and one of the best melodic piano pieces of all time.

I recently played this piece for my grandparents when visiting them in a nursing home. They're both almost 100, dealing with cancer and other issues, but still together and happy. Your analysis made me tear up thinking about it lol.

I am performing this tomorrow evening, and I have been scouring the internet for artistic interpretations to find the emotiONs I want to express and the story I want to tell. Your passionate, unique love for this music is so enrapturing and comforting to watch, and many insights you have given me will surely help ease my nerves. Thank you for this Beautiful essay!

In terms of Nocturnes from people I know that know them, this is probably the most underrated one. Everyone I know loves the common ones like Op. 9 no 2 or C# Minor (Which are also very beautiful don't get me wrong), but the fact that most of my friends don't mention this nocturne is a crime imo. This is the best Chopin Nocturne imo.

Thank you for making these analysis for Chopin nocturnes, I absolutely love this piece and your explanations allowed me to dive deeper into this beautiful music. Keep up your amazing series!

This is my favourite nocturne, and the reason why - at 55 years old - I bought a piano and have spent an hour a day for the last seven years teaching myself to read music. I love the drama you have uncovered in the score. Fabulous! One day, soon, I will learn to play this masterpiece.

For someone at the age of 39, who grew up in a pop culture, your lessons and interpretations helped me unveil the "mystery" and discover the real mastery of Chopin's music. I wish everyone had such lessons in school. Thank you very much for doing this. Great work :)

Thank you for this fantastic presentation. This is my favorite out of all of Chopin's works, and it seems to rise above the other Nocturnes. I often wonder if composers have their favorites and if they spent extra time lovingly writing them, for this seems lovingly written, and as you suggest, Chopin is writing about himself. I think that if you play it at a steady rhythm, it's a waltz, the last waltz of a couple deeply in love, but who, by necessity, must part, and never see each other again. They're all alone in a misty ballroom, sad and dreading the final moment, but at the end, they simply vanish away together. But also I see it as as Chopin's brief life. He hovered a little above the earth while he lived, and then he floated away.

This video was the first one I watched on your channel on 26 nov 2021 via YouTube suggestions. You don't know how much I've learnt from your videos since then. I'm so grateful to you for all your lectures and your beautiful soul. You do make the world a better place. My heartfelt big thanks to you, Greg! I'm looking forward to seeing your concert in the Netherlands.👍👍👍❤️

i cried when i realized how measure 18 through 25 were expressing... you bring such love and such care to Chopin's pieces. thank you for sharing a piece of your beautiful heart—i'm moved to love. thank you, thank you 💗

I forgot to watch this when it was uploaded. I was waiting for this for a long time! One of Chopin's greatest compositions in my opinion. As always, great lecture, Mr. Niemczuk! It's also nice to hear you fully play the piece (twice even!) in a video. I normally treat Liszt's Reminscences de Norma as the epitome of sounding in love, but you have convinced me here that this piece is definitely another physical manifestation (of sound) for being in love. I would definitely learn this now, if only just to play it to someone I love. Also, I would not have known you already analyzed the Waltzes had you not mentioned it here, I thought I had to wait more for those lectures 😅

Amazing approach !!! Endless delight !!! What an inventing sensibility and persuading eloquence, both in analyzing and interpreting this celestial masterpiece !!! Innumerous thanks, Maestro Niemczuk from the depth of my heart.

It was late as I finished your lecture on Opus 27 no.1 but felt the "need" to continue directly on with the colossal no. 2 and so glad I did. Your analysis made a deep impression and has left a smile on my face and warmth in my heart. The viewer can truly feel the emotion you bring to this piece, especially as you played in full for the second time the end. Thank you.

This piece is next on my list to learn. Loved your analysis. You are a poet like the great man himself.

thank you for those insights

This is so cool! I love it

One needs to come look around (inside) this channel: It's a mine of gold. I had the privilege to be linked to your video from one of Josh Wright's internet members (student). I am eager to hear the insights you are sharing. And keep bringing flowers to that women Chopin must have loved. I love this idea.

These videos are fantastic. Keep it up dude, much love.

Loved the analysis!
