Chopin – Nocturne in C♯ Minor Op. Posth. No. 20 | Complete Piano Tutorial

Details

Description

Here is my complete tutorial on how to learn, practice, and play Chopin’s Nocturne in C-sharp minor (Op. Posth.).

In this video, I break down the piece section by section, focusing on phrasing, timing, pedaling, and tone production. You'll learn how to shape the melody, build an elegant accompaniment, and apply wrist techniques for better sound and expression. I cover challenges like shaping the left-hand motifs, trills, and quick scale passages in the coda. This tutorial aims to help you master the piece's technical demands and capture its emotional depth.
