Help! Unidentified piece stuck in my ear!

[Rach3]

I'm almost certain it's Chopin, and it might be in D-flat major... it's polonaise-like, in 3/4 time, and this is from a fortissimo section, as best as I can communicate:

F Db Ab | Bb | Ab(tr) G Ab Bb C Db | D Eb En | F...

Please help! It is getting very irritating!

It's Chopin Nocturne in C# minor, Opus 27, Nr. 1.  You are hearing the Db major section at the end of the B section.  I love that piece.

yup its definitely op. 27 no. 1
one of my favorite nocturnes, very powerful emotionally...even though it seems to be overlooked by alot of people

Overlooked? I'm listening to it now and if someone overlooked a song like this then they just don't understand music...

And if someone calls this piece a song then they just don't understand music...

Agreed Eddie!

Thanks Robert, you're exactly right.

I have been reading through the score again, having not heard this piece in literally years. Rather amazing composer, Chopin, no? Stays with you.

Don't understand music huh... Heh, I'm just used to my hopless piano teacher (which I'm going to change) calling them "songs". And you really don't have to get so annoyed, a simple correction is quite enough.  

[bernhard]

I doubt he gets annoyed. I think he derives great pleasure from it.

Not great pleasure but moderate pleasure,
