zygis on Apr 7th, 2009Sergei Rachmaninov Nocturne No. 1 in F sharp minor
The first nocturne in F sharp minor, was written 14-21 November 1887, and has three parts: a beginning and an end in andante cantabile and a central section in allegro. The slower andantes are gentle sections, influenced by Pyotr Tchaikovsky, while the allegro is unnatural and stiff and unusually fast for a nocturne.
