This piece is a piano transcription from Bellini's aria "Casta Diva" by Chopin. The "bel canto" was a primary source of inspiration to the great Polish composer and this piece is a wonderful example of that. Written in a similar style to his nocturnes, this transcription is an excellent choice for those learning this genre. Playing this piece will also help you develop the balance between a nuanced melody in the right hand over the fluid and smooth accompaniment in the left hand.
