Description
Nocturne Op.27 No.2 in D-flat major is often regarded as one of Chopin's most polished nocturnes. Intertwining melodic lines suggest a duet, set within delicately shifting harmonies that create a dreamlike atmosphere. Lasting around four and a half minutes, it demands considerable musicality to weave varied expression into its restrained tempo.
One of Chopin's signature genres — beautiful, lyrical piano pieces that evoke the stillness and poetry of the night.

About the Composer
Frédéric Chopin (1810-1849)
Frederic Chopin was born in Poland and made his career in Paris, remaining unusual among great composers for writing almost exclusively for piano. He poured his longing for his homeland into mazurkas and polonaises, while his ballades and etudes combine poetic melody with harmonic innovation. This site includes 131 of his works, including the "Revolutionary" Etude, Op. 10, No. 12, and Ballades No. 1 and No. 4.
