This piece was inspired by one of my favorite composers: Frederic Chopin. Known as the "Poet of the Piano," Chopin is celebrated for exquisitely expressing the spectrum of human emotions through soulful melodies and harmonies. This is my first nocturne... but Chopin wrote 21 and they are all beautiful. Be sure to listen to them for inspiration! In his, and mine, listen to how the theme develops. How does it change each time it appears? Note: Nocturnes vary in mood and form, but the basic definition would be "appropriate to or inspired by the night."
