zygis on Feb 13th, 2009Frédéric Chopin Nocturne in G minor Op. 15 No. 3

The piece begins with a slow lento tempo and is written in 3/4 time. The right hand part is composed of simple eighth and quarter note patterns, followed by a chromatic rise and fall. The left hand part maintains quarter note patters to support the right hand, with pedal marks every six notes. The ending part of the piece is marked religioso and uses legato chords in the Right hand part. The piece also has incredible dynamic contrast, ranging from fortissimo to pianissimo.
