Nocturne · Op. 9 No. 2
Nocturne in E-flat major
Frédéric Chopin, 1832 · Andante · 19 keys · MediumAbout the piece
Chopin was about twenty when he wrote his first nocturnes, and this one, published in 1832 and dedicated to Marie Pleyel, is the best known. The melody sings like an opera voice over a gently rocking left hand.
You play its first long phrase, moved from E-flat major down to G major to fit the 17 keys.
