Nocturne in Bbm Op 9 No 1 (Chopin) Early Advanced

Song Sample Nocturne in Bbm

Lesson Sample Nocturne in Bbm

From Three Nocturnes. This is the original composition (not an arrangement) of Chopin's Nocturne in Bbm. This particular Nocturne seems to be the beginning of a trend in Chopin's composing with the left hand keeping a consistent arpeggio pattern while the right hand seems to wander off unconcerned about the time signature. This creates a lot of 3 against 2 and 10 against 3 patterns between the left and right hands. These patterns are pointed out and discussed in detail during this lesson as they are encountered. 

The song is demonstrated fully and then taught completely "by ear" describing every note and finger used to play the song.
