Wladyslaw Szpilman (5.XII.1911 Sosnowiec, Poland – 6.VII.2000, Warsaw, Poland) plays

Chopin: Nocturne C sharp-minor Op. posth. Recorded in Warsaw at home in 1997. C

ameraman Jaroslaw Mazur. Szpilman played this music in the last live broadcast for

the Polish Radio on 23.IX.1939. An hour later German bombs destroyed its power supply

and the Warsaw Radio closed for long 6 years.

This Nocturne was among the last works Chopin composed before departing Poland on

November 2, 1830. Like many of his early compositions, it carries no opus number, and would not be published until well after his death - in this case, not until 1870. Its late appearance in

print accounts for its high numbering: chronologically, it was not his 20th Nocturne, but only his second, written probably within a year or two of his initial effort, the E minor (ca. 1829). Both t

hese early works already contain the intimate passion and melancholy character of Chopin's

later nocturnes, as well as their unique harmonic sense.

The Nocturne in C sharp minor here opens with a brief introduction, a mixture of the stately

and the desolate in its hesitant, ponderous character. The melancholy main theme is then

presented, a lovely creation in its graceful trills and dark atmosphere. The mood brightens

marginally in the secondary material, but still cannot break with the forlorn character

established by the opening melody. The main theme returns in the latter half, now more

resolute in its sadness, gradually becoming more despondent as the music gently fades

away at the end. Lasting about four minutes, this lovely Nocturne is yet another gem among

the many in Chopin's considerable keyboard output.

The second of Chopin's nocturnes, this C sharp minor effort bears no opus number and was

not published until 1870, more than 20 years after the composer's death. This was one of the

last compositions Chopin wrote before departing Poland, which he would never see again,

owing to the political turmoil resulting from the 1830 uprising which left him a political exile,

forced to spend his remaining years in France.

After a brief, rather sober introduction, Chopin presents a dark theme whose beauty is both

subtle and direct, unfolding sadly in its fluttering trills and gray mists. Towards the middle,

the music suggests a certain playfulness, hinting even at joy. But the forlorn main theme

returns with its gentle gloom to cast a languorous and lasting pall over the musical landscape. Atmospherically, this is one of Chopin's stronger nocturnes, thanks not only to the imaginative

thematic wares, but also to the subtle harmonies, which deftly underpin the melody and help

to forge the dark colors and captivating mood of the piece.

Szpilman is widely known as the protagonist of the 2002 Roman Polanski film The Pianist, which is based on the book "The Pianist" recounting his survival of the German occupation of Warsaw and the Holocaust. 

Chopin - Ballade in G Minor Scene- The Pianist

가슴 시리고 또 가슴 시렸던 실화를 배경으로 한 영화 "피아니스트" 오래 오래 깊은 여운으로

남는다. "사운드 어브 뮤직과 닥터 지바고"처럼..............

나는 영화광이 아니어서 일생에 단 20 편의 영화도 본일이 없다.

명화가 아닌한은 보지 않는다. 빈샌트 밴 고흐나 베토벤 같은 인물을 배경으로 한 영화가 

아닌한은 흥미가 전혀없다. 한국영화는 본일도 없고 알지도 못하고.........

이곡을 듣노라니 절로 눈물이 난다.

사랑하는 모두가 떠나간 세월이 스쳐간다.

그리고 이제는 아빠 헨리가 서울에 계신 아버지가......................

멀리 멀리 오리건주 포트랜드로 이사간 그리운 앤 오늘 같은 날은 눈물 나도록 그립다.

From "The Pianist": Chopin Nocturne C sharp minor

Arjen Seinen - Piano

In the film they use the ballade no 1, but I think this piece would be better.

Arjen Seinen studied piano in Amsterdam and Budapest. on his channel

there are more nocturnes to listen.
