Frédéric Chopin is known worldwide as one of the leading musicians of the Romantic era. Nocturne In C Sharp Minor is another one of the Polish virtuoso pianist s works written for the solo Piano. Firstpublished a quarter of a century after Chopin s death the piece is often referred to by its marking: Lento con gran espressione.Although always placed in close proximity to Chopin s other nocturnes thetitle Nocturne owes its existence entirely to Chopin s sister Ludwika whose handwritten copy of the piece is followed in this Urtext edition as the autograph manuscript is lost. A much differentoriginal version found in Chopin s initial draft is also presented as well as a preface in German English and French.
