Saddest Chopin Nocturnes

on: January 12, 2006, 03:38:28 AM

What in your opinion are the saddest, loneliest, most desperate Chopin Nocturnes? I know they are all wonderful and melancholic, but I'm only looking for four or five that can help my bad mood.

Op 48-1 Maybe

The masterpiece tell the performer what to do, and not the performer telling the piece what it should be like, or the cocomposer what he ought to have composed.

I agree. I think that Chopin was so lonely, so desperate when he was writing this nocturne. You can feel pain and also that he suffered so much..
What a beutifull piece...

E- Op.72-1 and C#- op. posth.

I find the Ballades much more melancholy than the Nocturnes.

I think there's something very wistful about 9/3.
