Description

Chopin’s Nocturnes, a collection of solo piano pieces composed between 1827 and 1846, are widely regarded as cornerstones of the Romantic piano repertoire. These works, which include 18 published during Chopin’s lifetime and 3 posthumously, are celebrated for their lyrical beauty, emotional depth, and innovative harmonic language. While inspired by John Field’s earlier nocturnes, Chopin elevated the genre, infusing it with operatic qualities and a unique blend of introspection and dramatic flair.
