Chopin’s Nocturne in E flat major op. 9 no. 2 belongs without a doubt among the most beloved works of this genre, and perhaps even of Chopin’s entire oeuvre. Echoing the operatic style, the sensual bel canto melody weaves arabesques of tones that become more ornamented with each repetition. The piece is so irresistible that it has spawned many arrangements. With its elegant engraving, G. Henle Verlag’s Urtext separate publication makes Chopin’s original work for piano two-hands available at an almost unbelievably economical price.
