Chopin Fryderyk: Nocturnes for Piano – Complete Works

Fryderyk Chopin’s nocturnes, following the tradition of the genre, are characterized by lyricism, sentimentality and a salon-like character, with occasional programmatic tendencies. Their distinctive features include contrasting, more turbulent middle sections and richly ornamented recapitulations. Yet the essence of the nocturnes lies not in the dynamics and constant changes of the musical course, but in sustaining a particular mood filled with reflection, anticipation and a sense of the past brought into the present.
