Nocturne Op Posthumous

Chopin- Nocturne (Posthumous) piano solo simplified version Intermediate This is a very famous Nocturne- used at many concerts and recitals. This version originally in C sharp minor has been carefully arranged into C minor. Some large stretches have been avoided as has big chords. The right hand ornamental "flourishes" on the last two pages (as well as others) have been written rhythmically as it is easier to match and count with the left hand- as a consequence they have been adapted, but take very little away from the original. The flourishes should be played with plenty of rubato. The piece has been placed at the top end of Intermediate level. It is a wonderful piece for control of tone, romantic style, and as a repertoire piece. The youtube link has the full score to enable you to assess suitability.
