Have a look and listen to Lang Lang. He does a beautiful interpretation.

I've just started that piece as well.

Before I start learning the Db Nocturne, I watch the Lang Lang Video nearly everyday. I find that it helps a lot to know the melody. My friend said that this is the hardest Nocturne to learn, but I think more hardest one than this one. Is this nocturne the most famous one in Chopin  collection?

Nah, op. 9 no. 2 is the most famous one, and probably op. 9/3, op. 48/1, op. 15/1 and the Op. 62 ones are more difficult.
