Frederic Chopin, Nocturne, Op.37, No. 1, Classical Remix | Violin |

Frederic Chopin, Nocturne, Op.37, #1 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. #everythingyouneed #fredericchopin #violin Listen to Channels on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3BZblsq Blogger: https://bit.ly/3OL2UZI Please Subscribe to Channel on Youtube:   / @everything.youneed   https://twitter.com/EveUneed https://www.instagram.com/everu.need/ https://www.reddit.com/user/EverUNeed https://story.kakao.com/_AQeC09 https://vk.com/id804724899 https://ok.ru/profile/600697972026 https://www.tumblr.com/everuneed https://mix.com/eveuneed 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.).
