Where I could get Chopin Manuscript of Nocturne in C sharp minor (High Res)?

Where I could get Chopin Manuscript of Nocturne in C sharp minor (High Res)? I want to see is there any tempo changes in bars 33-41. Why everyone play bars 33-41 faster than beginning? Thank you for your help.

Sigh...which one?

There are two c# minor nocturnes. Also, if youre talking about no. 20 then If remember correctly there aren't a lot of markings in his manuscript because he never intended to publish them. You can tell the markings aren't as detailed as his other nocturnes. Another thing I want you to take note of, the score isn't the bible; so it's more likely a choice based on taste and preference.

Assuming you're talking about number 20, the one everyone loves (sad, considering the other nocturne seems to get the shaft; it's a lovely piece), you could probably find a scan of the manuscript on IMSLP, if it exists. Though, as said above, it may well not exist, as Chopin asked for the nocturne (along with all his other sketches and unpublished works) to be burned.

off topic but his no. 20 may be more popular, but that doesnt mean the other got shafted. ALL OF Chopin's nocturnes get a shitload of attention.

Yes, they all get attention (especially with these young recording artists recording all of them), but I was referring to outside the world of classical- perhaps I was not clear enough. 27/1 gets attention (and rightfully so, IMO), but you don't see every amateur who's played for two weeks sit down with that as their first Chopin piece.
