BTW. To anyone who likes nocturnes I would highly recommend the CD set by Bart van Oort. He has recorded all the Chopin and Field nocturnes and many others from the 19th century on period instruments. IMO the sound is just heavenly and so intimate that it is easy to imagine hearing the composers playing their works...

hmm trying to be helpful. another of my favorite nocturnes :
Georgy Catoire, Nocturne op. 12 no. 3 (1901)
get's a little hairy in the middle 90 seconds but the pace/tempo is nice and relaxed so it should be able to be worked out with some diligent/disciplined slow and intentional practice and drilling.

hopefully this doesn't sound like Schoenberg! Or I will begin to think something is wrong with me

Vera beautiful ! The beginning sounds quite atonal, but your fine, nothing wrong. I like it!

UPDATE:
I actually love it, but then again, it's not too easy. Its too delicate Fool around with. I will definitely make it something I want to play, so nice, surreal, kind of heavenly. And it's nothing like Scioenberg. I don't sense any atonality that is unpleasig to the ears. I'm inspired
Working on:
Bach Invention 7 (also Tureck's book)
Clementi Sonatina 3
Rachmaninoff Moment Musicaux no. 3
Skrjabin Prelude op.11 no.4
Joplin The Favorite Rag
