    I'm really enjoying those pieces by these french composers, they have a certain delicacy and elegance. This one has a unique character to it, like a sorrowful and introspective melancholy

      It actually sounds quite Russian.

    I remember the very short "Regrets" by Pessard always admirably performed by you, some time ago. Little, in short, but still enough to understand the expressive value of a piano composer of great expressive value and too neglected; here, in the Nocturne we have ample confirmation of this. I hope to hear many other things about him, of course, because as they say here in Italy "the appetite comes with eating". A word only about its execution: the control of the parts and the thematic emancipation of the middle voice is miraculous, a sign that when you have "the sound in your head", so to speak, even the limits of a performance on a digital piano are not it can be too much of an obstacle to interpretative rendering. Also because in the melancholic repertoire it is unsurpassed!

    I stumbled upon your channel only very recently, but I've found what I've been looking for. As an electric bassist, I naturally feel "at home" when reading chord sheets rather than all detailed notation - but you allow me to learn it properly.
    This piece is wonderfully melancholic and violent at the same time, I feel. You absolutely do this piece justice with your immense control over dynamics!

    This is a tearjerker. It is your fault, Mr. Gamma :)- you know how to do it - and the composer's, of course.

    I can hear the inspiration from Mendelssohn. Very pianistic too. A very quintessentially romantic salon piece.

      However, the music is one big salty tear.
