Frederic Chopin, Nocturne No. 16 in E-Flat Major, Op. 55, No. 2 |Piano|

The Nocturnes, Op. 55 are a set of two nocturnes for solo piano written by Frédéric Chopin. They are his fifteenth and sixteenth installations in the genre, and were composed between 1842 and 1844, and published in August 1844. Chopin dedicated them to his pupil and admirer Mademoiselle Jane Stirling.

The two Nocturnes, Op 55 by Frédéric Chopin, the fifteenth and sixteenth of his nocturnes, were composed between 1842 and 1844, and published in August 1844. The second nocturne, the Nocturne No. 16 in E flat major, differs in form from the other nocturnes in that it has no contrasting second section, the melody flowing onward from beginning to end in a uniform manner.

Nocturne in E-flat major, Op. 55, No. 2

8 time signature, triplet quavers in the bass, and a lento sostenuto tempo marking. The left-hand features sweeping legato arpeggios from the bass to the tenor, while the right-hand often plays a contrapuntal duet and a soaring single melody. There is a considerable amount of ornamentation in the right hand, for instance the prolonged trills in measures 34 and 52–54. The characteristic chromatic ornaments, in measures 7, 25, 36, and 50, often subdivide the beats in a syncopated fashion in contrast with the steady triplets in the left hand.

Of this nocturne, Niecks wrote:

The second nocturne (in E flat major) differs in form from the other nocturnes in...that it has no contrasting second section, the melody flowing onward from beginning to end in a uniform manner. The monotony of the unrelieved sentimentality does not fail to make itself felt. One is seized by an ever-increasing longing to get out of this oppressive atmosphere, to feel the fresh breezes and warm sunshine, to see smiling faces and the many-coloured dress of Nature, to hear the rustling of leaves, the murmuring of streams, and voices which have not yet lost the clear, sonorous ring that joy in the present and hope in the future impart.

The Nocturnes, Op. 15 are a set of three nocturnes for solo piano written by Frédéric Chopin between 1830 and 1833. The work was published in January 1834, and was dedicated to Ferdinand Hiller. These nocturnes display a more personal approach to the nocturne form than that of the earlier Opus 9. The melodies and emotional depth of these nocturnes have thus been thought of as more "Chopinesque."

Nocturne in F major, Op. 15, No. 1

Chopin's fourth nocturne is in simple ternary form (A–B–A). The first section, in F major, features a very simple melody over a descending triplet pattern in the left hand. The middle section in F minor, in great contrast to the outer themes, is fast and dramatic (Con fuoco) using a challenging double note texture in the right hand. After a return to the serene A theme, the ending does not contain a coda, but rather two simple arpeggios. Some critics have remarked that this nocturne has little to do with night, as if sunlight is "leaking from the piece's seams."

Frederic Chopin, Nocturne, Op.37, #1, - Classical Remix | Violin |

The third pair of Nocturnes, Op. 37, dates from the time of Chopin’s sojourn on Majorca.

The first of the two, in the key of G minor, was written prior to that memorable romantic escapade; the second, just after. Following his return to France, in a letter written at Nohant during his first summer there (in 1839), Chopin informed Julian Fontana: ‘I have a new Notturno, in G major, which will go with the G minor, if you recall’. And to remind his friend of the work he is referring to, he writes out its opening few notes in the letter.

Chopin’s Op. 37 No. 1 offers us nocturnal reflection that could seemingly last without end. But then a different, unexpected, atmosphere appears. We are transported to another realm. A sequence of chords appears, bound in self-communion, deceptively similar to those from the first of Chopin’s nocturnes written in the key of G minor. There, the composer placed the word religioso above the notes; here, it is omitted.

A couple of interpreters of Chopin’s music – Kleczyński, Hoesick – have associated the music of these bars with ‘a prayer played on a country organ’. Its chorale character is indisputable. A moment later, it quietens and then falls utterly silent, halted by a succession of pauses. The melody of that nostalgic reflection returns. But as it nears the end, it alters its tone: the light of a major key appears, brought to the work by a change of just one single note – a minor third altered to a ‘Picardian’ major third.

Most of Chopin's compositions were for solo piano, though he did compose two piano concertos as well as some other music for ensembles.

His larger scale works such as sonatas, the four scherzi, the four ballades, the Fantaisie in F minor, Op. 49, and the Barcarolle in F♯ major, Op. 60 have cemented a solid place within the piano repertoire, as have his shorter works: the polonaises, mazurkas, waltzes, impromptus and nocturnes.

Two important collections are the Études, Op. 10 and 25 (which are a staple of that genre for pianists), and the 24 Preludes, Op. 28 (a cycle of short pieces paired in a major key/relative minor key pattern following the circle of fifths in clockwise steps). Also, Chopin wrote numerous song settings of Polish texts, and chamber pieces including a piano trio and a cello sonata.

This listing uses the traditional opus numbers where they apply; other works are identified by numbers from the catalogues of Maurice J. E. Brown (B), Krystyna Kobylańska (KK), Józef Michał Chomiński (A, C, D, E, P, S), and Jan Ekier (WN, Dbop.).
