Description

Roman Polanski’s successful film The Pianist has focused attention on the Chopin’s Nocturne in C-Sharp Minor (Lento con gran espressione). Henle’s edition presents the work in two versions. One derives from the handwritten copy which was owned by Chopin’s sister Ludwika. The other is a noticeably different original version found in Chopin’s original draft, now preserved in the Chopin Museum in Valldemosa (Mallorca). It is your turn to play the music from The Pianist.

Works:

• Nocturne in C-sharp Minor (Lento con gran espressione), B. 49, KK IVa/16, WN 37
• Nocturne in C-sharp Minor (Version 2), KK IVa/16
