About this piece
This nocturne is an early example of piano music inspired by the Bel Canto style that became very popular in the early 1800s among composers such as Chopin. Rubato, tone production and leggiero technique as some of the many skills this piece will help pianists leaving the intermediate level repertoire and diving into the early advance level works.
Is this your next piece?
This could be a good fit if you're an advanced pianist looking for something relaxing and inspiring to play.
