I'm looking forward to your comments. I hope you like it. Sorry for the annoying page turns but it's been only a month that I started to study this nocturne. I preferred not to play it from memory.

Hi Can !!

Well I can see that you play very well ... as they say you are very musical.  There is a gentleness in the way you express your feelings for this Nocturne by Chopin which is quite touching.  More so considering you are only 13 years old ? And I also liked the expressions you placed in your Rachmaninoff Prelude in C Sharp Minor at YT.  As they say ... GOOD JOB!!!

I watched the first few seconds - certainly the left hand should be more languid - it's really stiff on the way down.

The Quiet Revolutionary of the Piano – Fauré’s Complete Piano Works Now on Piano Street

In the pantheon of French music, Gabriel Fauré (1845–1924) often seems a paradox—an innovator cloaked in restraint, a Romantic by birth who shaped the contours of modern French music with quiet insistence. Piano Street now provides sheet music for his complete piano works: a body of music that resists spectacle, even as it brims with invention and brilliance. Read more
