Hamilton Plays Piatigorsky’s Chopin

Feb 2, 2021 | 4 comments

While our past Chair Hamilton Cheifetz recovers his health, he gifts us with this achingly gorgeous duet which is (for now) his LAST performance:

Piatigorsky’s transcription of Chopin’s Nocturne in c# minor, in my first and (so far) last performance. The piece profoundly expresses sadness, wistful hope and resignation. A true poetic musical masterpiece. From an Inside Chamber Music class in April 2019. With the beautiful and sensitive playing of Julia Lee.

  1. Just to be crystal clear, this was my first and last performance of the Chopin Nocturne, but my last live performance was in early March 2020, right before everything was shut down. My recovery is going very well, and I am feeling better all the time and feeling grateful.
