Topic: Chopin's Nocturne No. 20 in c-sharp, Op. Posthumous.

The piano is the 1849 Erard layered with 1835 Pleyel. This sounds similar to the 1863 Chickering I played on at the Frederick Collection

Great listen and inspiring! Nice choice of the historic pianos to give it period feel.

A beautiful interpretation, this is not simple to play.
And what a nice new layered sound. I like it.

I can’t play like that but it feels good to listen to your playing.
Thank you so much for sharing.

Best wishes,
