watching the XVIII international chopin piano competition spurred me into making a video analysis on one of chopin's darkest and most popular nocturnes, op48 no1. just the opening pendulum-like bass and strongly rhetorical melodic line is enough to send shivers down anyone's spine. we'll take a look at chopin's use of melody and especially harmony to see how he crafts a masterpiece like this.
