That Nocturne requires big hand to play easily. Are your hands big enough...since you are only 12 year old.

Gee, my old Schirmer edition (Mikuli) only goes up to #19! It doesn't have a C minor nocturne op. posth. Rats!

OK, well I can give you some general advice anyway, which is that the tricky part with Chopin is usually interpretation, not technique. My advice is to listen to as many recordings as you can to hear how famous pianists play it. A great Chopin performance requires a lot of experience, musical and otherwise, but there's no reason you can't start learning now...
