This is a phenomenal examination of Chopin's music! I'm genuinely curious - do you (anyone) think that when a composer such as Chopin is composing music, he is consciously and actively -thinking- about what he/she is doing, analysing and thinking about their own compositions in this way ..... or this is just a natural expression of themselves, and the music almost writes itself, and then it's US who then analyse it in this way?

Bravo... thank you so much for the analysis of this beautiful piece of music by Chopin. Normally I would be drawn to his music by melody and the beautiful ornamentation; with a pro's guidance in details would allow us peak through his music in a higher dimension. Yes, we can spend the rest of our life going through the works of Chopin! Keep up with the great work from Canada!!

I have a question about terminology. This piece has an ABA overall form. Would it be correct or incorrect to call it a Minuet and Trio? That also has an ABA form, however wikipedia talks about actual chamber music with three instruments for a Minuet and Trio.
Is there some more general name for the ABA form?

I find this analysis very valuable. However, I typically stop the video every 10 seconds or so and rewind or look at the notes in the staff to catch up. That effort would be greatly aided if the notes you talk about were highlighted, perhaps in the same green that the notes of the keyboard are.

Every time a Chopin melody makes a leap to an upper register and then descends from there, I feel he's crying. It's so plaintive. Kinda like when you're crying, and then you stop to breathe, but then you start wailing suddenly even stronger. That's what those leap melodies remind me of.

Could you do Nocturne C minor Op 48 no 1 please? I think series of -Reharmonization- of the first theme is worth discussion.
Btw you already have Bach Partita 2 opening theme video so it would be interesting if you can share your opinion about them.

Great stuff, I love it. I think we see here the difference between composition and a posteriori analysis: I don't know, but I don't think that Chopin was explicitly aware of these tension-relaxation procedures during his compositional process.

It's disgusting how beautiful and emotional Chopin can make his music. Kind of makes me want to give up music, knowing that I'll never even be in the same galaxy as this guy.

I-m fairly sure I played this for my grade 8 exam when I was 17. Not sure I did it a lot of justice to be honest, but at least I got a pass overall!
