I would venture a guess that most people know and love the most famous nocturnes, such as Op. 9 no. 2 in E flat major (perhaps also Op. 9 no. 1 in b flat minor), the D flat major Nocturne O.p 27 no. 2, the c minor nocturne Op. 48 no. 1, the e minor nocturne Op. 72 no. 1, and the posthumous c sharp minor nocturne.
But what do you think are some underrated nocturnes that deserve more recognition and exposure?
I really love the E major Nocturne Op. 62 no. 2 (it has such a wonderful, pensive, beauty to it), both the f minor and E flat nocturnes Op. 55 (especially the E flat nocturne I think is a hidden gem), the c sharp minor nocturne Op. 27 no. 1, and the Nocturnes op. 15. I am not sure how underrated some of these are but I think they should be performed more often.
The Nocturnes I feel the least drawn to are the Nocturnes op 32 and op 37. Anyone who love these who could enlighten me to their merits?
