on Feb 13th, 2009Frédéric Chopin Nocturne in B major Op. 9 No. 3
Nocturne in B major Op. 9 No. 3 is in the ternary form A-B-A .the first section (Allegretto). The second contrasting section (Agitato) is a very dramatic one with a combined melody & counter – melody in the right hand and triplets in the left hand throughout this section which needs a great amount of virtuosity. The piece is full of coloratura ornaments, and ends with a wide chord in the left hand accompanied with (senza tempo) right hand triplets in a high octave to lead to a legatissimo smorzando adagio.
