Help/Advice with Chopin Nocturne in E Minor 0p72,No1???
May 21, 2011, 04:13:26 PM by sophiehill123456789

Hello,
I'm rather new on this forum(Its a Miracle I came across it

)

Currently, Im having a go at Chopins Nocturne in E minor op 72, No1. Now, I only play at around grade 6 level so its a bit of a jump in terms of difficulty but I just love this piece SO much Im gonna learn it anyway. Cheesy

I've learnt half of the first page but its the left hand from bars 14-30 that Im having some trouble with remembering and im not sure which fingering to use. I can play all of the right hand though. Could anyone advise me on how exactly to tackle such a personally difficult piece?? It would be much appreciated.

Many Thanks, Sophie Grin

Chopin Nocturne in E minor
November 10, 2010, 04:32:57 AM by sarahkw

Hello all,

I've been playing this piece for about a month now. I have heard many different recordings of people playing it, each with their own rendition. I guess this is my interpretation of the piece but I am looking for ideas and comments on my phrasing, dynamics, and tempo.

Comments, questions, and criticism; any type of response is greatly appreciated as I will be performing this in about a month.

After considering your advice I will post another recording to listen for improvement

Thanks!

Sarah

Chopin Nocturne op 72 no 1
September 09, 2010, 03:07:47 AM by redragon

I'm learning this piece....... and I stumbled across something that i noticed i could use help with.
There are sixteenth notes and triplets going on at the same time and i was wondering how they aligned. can the triplets be interwoven with the sixteenth notes, where the sixteenthn notes come in on and inbetween the triplets, or should they be seperate...as two completely different rhythms?

Chopin Nocturne in e minor
November 26, 2008, 05:48:00 PM by 8426

I'm studying chopin's nocturne in e minor. In the second part there are some plyrythms...4-3 ,then 8-3 ,then 10-3 ,then 11-3. Apart from HS practice how should it be practiced? Before the 11-3 sequence there is a trill...how to execute?

Chopin Nocturne in E minor Op 72 (video) Stage Recital
May 14, 2008, 08:20:15 AM by totallyclassics

This is by far one of my favorite pieces......I have been playing it off and on for the last 2 years of my 4 years in piano! It is very special to me for many reasons, and Chopin is one of my favorite composers! I LOVE the romantic period.....

Please critique openly and honestly.......I will start by saying this is only my 3rd recital, and that this is the first recital I decided to perform 4 pieces in......a mistake! I am not mature enough in my musical focus for my level of playing to successfully pull of a 4 piece recital!! However, having said this, I am not disappointed that I tried it, just disappointed that it didn't work out as planned!! My pieces, especially this one came out a bit rushed, and the breaths between phrases were at best,..... weak..... I learned that unplanned things happen when we get on stage! The natural subtleties that I so easily emote and that occur in the safety of my living room, didn't occur on stage! My goal is to get the two closer together!!

I hope you enjoy, please feel free to comment.... Grin

Chopin Nocturne 72/1 (on another website)
December 27, 2005, 08:10:48 PM by violinist

Hello folks,

I've been busy busy busy... my piano been gather dust Sad

But I wanted to record something and let you guys know I'm still alive, and I miss this making a ruckus on this forum.

I put my sound files on myspace. I just recorded a run-thru session I do whenever I get a chance after work. I just popped in the recorder and recorded my debussy arabesque #1 and then followed by my Chopin Nocturne 72/1... I played them cold - without much warmup or thought. I plan to hopefully record the Chopin again and when it's worthy of piano forum, I'll post it here. right now, I'll keep it on "myspace." till the next recording. In the mean time, please give me comments/criticisms on how to make the Chopin Nocturne 72/1 better for my next recording! My own criticisms:

1. heavy on the left hand... (I blame my piano!! half joking)
2. rushing on the exciting 3rd page.

Sorry you have to listen thru the arabesque to get to the chopin.. I didn't know how to split the file up into two and it was just one recording session.

oh and the website is:

http://www.myspace.com/vinli (personal website with pictures)

and/or

http://www.myspace.com/violcano (this one has some violin stuff on it... my college days)

please feel free to send me some e-mail, write some comments here, or send me messages thru myspace.

Happy holidays!

You guys are my inspiration. THANK YOU!

Nocturne in Em Op. 72, No. 1 (posthumous)
October 21, 2005, 11:57:36 PM by gaer

I've taught this at least three times, so I thought it was about time to see what I could do with it myself.

Strangely, although I had worked out all the tough technical parts, the problems were all musical. I think I solved some of them. I hope so.

Learn Chopin Nocturne Op.72 #1 with Me!
October 14, 2005, 07:17:59 PM by violinist

I just printed out the music. Here's the .pdf file:

http://www.sheetmusicarchive.net/compositions_b/noct72_1.pdf

Maybe we could learn it together and post about how we're doing and maybe even record it and put our progress up on the audition room.

Anyone up for this?

My background.

New at piano. But I don't think I'm bad. No piano teacher currently. I have studied piano from age 5 to age about 9 (I think.. I can't remember that far back, but I hated it back then.. now it's different) But have lots of talent for Violin and have been playing violin for decades. I'm in my 30's - sort of an adult learner but had a few years of lessons at a young age which helps. I work as a general and trauma surgeon during the day and night.

Join me or relearn this piece and let's talk about it. Tell me also a little about yourself.

Let me know what you think of this idea.

- Calvin
