Nocturnes

Album by Fryderyk Chopin & Nelson Goerner

Nocturnes is a collection of solo piano pieces by Polish composer Frédéric Chopin, composed between 1827 and 1846. They exemplify the Romantic piano nocturne, characterised by singing, ornamented melodies, chromatic harmonies and contrasts between intimate passages and dramatic episodes, and they constitute a major part of Chopin's mature piano output and his development of the nocturne as a genre.
