Summary of This Score

Emblematic of Romanticism, Fryderyk Chopin's nocturnes stand out for their writing that is both intimate and lyrical, where the right hand breathes an expressive melodic line over a flexible accompaniment. Faithful to the tradition of the genre, these pieces prioritize maintaining an atmosphere-made of anticipation, nostalgia, or reverie-rather than abrupt changes in character. They often feature a more animated and contrasting central section, before the ornate return of the theme, rich in embellishments and nuances of touch.

This critical edition aims to present Chopin's work in an authentic form. The editorial work relies on primary sources (manuscripts, copies corrected or validated by the composer, first prints), in order to offer a reliable musical text for both study and performance. The commentaries (performance and sources), authored by Jan Ekier and Pawel Kaminski, provide valuable insight into reading choices, notation particularities, and interpretative points of attention.

The collection gathers 19 nocturnes, including: Op. 32 No. 2 (A-flat major), Op. 9 No. 1 (B-flat minor), Op. 48 No. 1 (C minor), Op. 27 No. 1 (C-sharp minor) and No. 2 (D-flat major), Op. 62 No. 1 and No. 2, as well as Op. 55 No. 1 and No. 2. The inclusion of Nocturne Op. 9 No. 2 in a "with variants" version makes it an ideal resource for comparison, refining phrasing, and building a personal interpretation while remaining grounded in the sources.
