@Derek McConville Excellent playing for the sound, style and atmosphere of the nineteenth-century salon. Very enjoyable to listen to.

@Jennifer Mehta Very beautiful playing, Jennifer! You bring out all the magic mystery of the piece. I love how you manage to control the dynamics, with that long and impressive crescendo. Bravo!

Re: Week 4: Post your Progress!
Hi piano friends! I wish the challenge would have lasted more weeks (even months...). I feel totally incapable of playing this piece without a lot of mistakes,…

Re: Week 3: Seeing the Big Picture
@Gail Starr Sounds beautiful, Gail! I think you have internalized its lyricism, so there will be no problems of this matter when you play it faster.

@Priya Viseskul Sometimes it's the main work to do, reduce tension in the most passionate passages. This Nocturne is like a small Ballade, it has everything.

@Kerstin Great choice, Kerstin! It seems that several of us have many "unfinished business" with Chopin 🙂
