Nocturne No. 20 in C-sharp minor, Op. posth. by Frédéric Chopin

Chopin’s Nocturne No. 20 is a tender and deeply emotional piece, rich in nuance and lyrical phrasing. Its expressive melody and subtle dynamics reveal the composer’s gift for turning piano into poetry. I was drawn to its sense of melancholy and calm beauty — learning to balance control and emotion has been both a challenge and a joy.

This rendition reflects my ongoing exploration of tone and expression. It’s still evolving, and I invite you to listen with gentle ears as I learn to bring out the full depth of feeling this Nocturne deserves.
