Chopin Nocturne Op 48 No 1 [Video]

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.
