Frédéric Chopin

Nocturne Mib Majeur op. 9 No. 2

The ANACROUSE collection offers novice and experienced pianists alike a wide choice of classical works, from the Renaissance to the modern era.

We have set ourselves the goal of offering both "must-haves" from the classical repertoire and pieces by sometimes forgotten composers, all of undeniable pedagogical value. Each piece, sold individually, has been the subject of careful editorial work, both in terms of the musical text and its engraving, in order to guarantee musicians the conditions essential to the pleasures derived from frequent trade in these works.

The scores are offered in traditional book form (paper sheets), and also available by download.



Composed between 1830 and 1831, this Nocturne in E flat major by Frédéric Chopin is a favorite of all young pianists. Its melodic charm, strophic simplicity, brevity and relative ease of execution have made it famous the world over. In it, Chopin adopts a confident tone, expressively developing the main theme without denying his direct influences from the art of bel canto. This theme undergoes three ornamental variations, interspersed with transitional ritornelli. The gripping coda provides the work's emotional climax, before slipping slowly into a gentle, serene pianissimo.
