Summary of This Score
This score highlights the famous Nocturne in C-sharp minor by Frédéric Chopin (posthumous op.). To meet the growing interest generated by its use in cinema, this edition offers two states of the work, noticeably different from each other. The first version is based on the manuscript copy by Ludwika, Chopin's sister, while the second comes from an autograph preserved at the Chopin Museum in Valldemossa (Majorca). This approach allows the pianist to understand the evolution of the musical text and to explore nuances of writing, phrasing, and intention unique to each source. Published as a separate score, this edition is also an excerpt from the collection "Nocturnes," also published by Henle. An excellent choice for working on sonority, line breathing, and expression, while enriching one's musical culture around the variants of an emblematic Romantic work.
