Chopin | Nocturne in A♭ major, Op. 32, No. 2 | Piano

Описание: The Nocturnes, Op. 32 is a set of two nocturnes for solo piano written and published by Frédéric Chopin in 1837.

The nocturne in A♭ major is initially marked as lento and in 44 meter. It is structured in an A–B–B′–A′ format and features a melodic and bright main melodic theme in the A section, with a turbulent and dramatic theme in the B sections. In measure 27, the A section transitions into the B section, as the meter switches to 128 and the key to F minor (the relative minor of A♭ major). This initial transition is performed over a C dominant seventh chord, which is not totally foreign to A♭ and yet pushes strongly away towards the F minor B section. James Huneker found the F-minor section to "[broaden] out to dramatic reaches" though he still viewed the overall piece negatively.[6] After a tumultuous set of chromatically descending octaves at the end of the B section, the key changes to F♯ minor in measure 39 and returns to A♭ major at measure 51, where the meter also returns to 44. The tempo returns to lento in measure 73. The piece has a total of 74 measures and is in ternary form.

Piano: Olga Gurevich
