Help identifying a nocturne

[verywellmister]

There was this one Chopin nocturne I heard that I really liked.  It had some violent sections in it.  I've been trying to figure out which one it is (its been so long so i dont rememeber what it sounds like).

Which one of the nocturnes have "violent" or loud chords passages?

Thanks.

Um... Op. 27 No. 1 does. The truth is, a lot of them do. Op. 15 No. 2, I think.

Could be Nocturne in C Minor, Op. 45 No.1.  That one has lots of chords and octaves and gets pretty turbulent.

Opus 48 that is, it could also be opus 15 no. 1.

Yah, whoops!  Op. 48 is what I meant!

Maybe it's the Op. 37 no.1 in g-minor? Because in bar 42, the key changes to a major key with chords that have a crescendo.

Welcome!



Actually, most of the nocturnes have this tough middle part, just listen to them all.

The chorale-like middle section isn't really violent, though. It's calm compared to some of the others.

Here are some ones with truly violent sections:

Op.9 No.3 in B
Op.15 No.1 in F
Op.15 No.2 in F#
Op.27 No.1 in C#m
Op.48 No.1 in Cm
Op.55 No.1 in Fm

As far as I know, it is probably one of these.
