Chopin’s “Nocturne in E Major”

Frédéric Chopin Frédéric Chopin (1810-1849) was a half Polish-half French composer & virtuoso pianist of the early Romantic period. Chopin wrote almost solely for the piano. His etudes, preludes, nocturnes, & ballades are all frequently played today. Many of his songs were written in a Polish style, especially his mazurkas and polonaises, both traditional Polish dances.

Chopin’s Style Chopin was a shy & delicate person who preferred more intimate gatherings & music. Rather than performing in big concerts like Paganini & Liszt, Chopin performed in salons (private gatherings at rich, aristocratic houses). Here, he met & befriended many famous artists like Victor Hugo, Delacroix, Liszt, & Berlioz.

Chopin’s Style Chopin’s pieces are usually soft, graceful, & relatively short. They express delicate emotions. His beautiful pieces are famous for their voice-like “singing” melodies & surprising (but never disturbing) harmonic changes. Though he was an outstanding pianist, Chopin’s music is not usually virtuosic & rarely shows off.

Chopin: “Nocturne in E Major” One of 3 Nocturnes, written when he was 20. In compound, 12/8 meter; sounds like a waltz. Left hand: plays widely-spaced arpeggios in 8th notes. Right hand: plays a graceful, singing melody that becomes more and more ornamented throughout the piece. Form: AABABA coda
