Nocturne Op.62 No.2 in E Major - Chopin (Music box version)
Hope you enjoy the video!
The two Nocturnes Op. 62 by Frédéric Chopin were published in 1846 and dedicated to Mdlle. R. de Konneritz.
Nocturne in E major, Op. 62, No. 2 is a reflective and contrapuntally engaging nocturne and is a fine example of the refinement and contrapuntal richness of Chopin's later works. The nocturne's thematic structure (ABCAB) consists of a simple and slow primary theme in E major, followed by a thoughtful and more quickly moving secondary melodic theme with climbing bass runs. This leads to the agitated, loud, and contrapuntal third section in C# minor, which has melodic interplay between the LH and the RH top 3 fingers, with the RH thumb and first fingers largely playing accompaniment. After this agitated section, Chopin returns to the first and second themes via a dissonant F major arpeggio with a D# in the bass, leading to a B in the bass, the echoing of the initial bars of the piece, and the return to E major. This return of the first melody quickly gives way to the rolling bass 2nd theme, which leads smoothly into the coda. In their reprisal, these two melodic themes are accompanied by slightly differing harmonies with modified embellishment in the right hand, as is typical of A' section of ternary Chopin nocturnes. The nocturne ends with a simple coda re-affirming solidly the key of E major, a technique which is common in other nocturnes including Op. 62 No. 1 and Op. 9 No. 2.
