Chopin, Frédéric - Nocturnes

In accordance with the tradition of the genre, these are characterised by sentimentality, intimacy and programmatic tendencies. Characteristic for them is a turbulent middle section and a richly ornamented reprise. However, variability of dynamics and musical course are not appropriate for nocturnes, rather holding on to a particular mood, full of expectation or the past brought to the present. These works were edited by by I. J. Paderewski, L. Bronarski and J. Turczyński.
