It was Chopin's first composed nocturne, although it was the nineteenth to be published, in 1855, along with two other early works: a funeral march in C minor and three écossaises. The composition features an unbroken line of quaver triplets in the left hand set against a slow melody of minims, crotchets, quaver duplets and triplets. It consists of 57 bars of common time with the tempo given as Andante, quarter note = 69 bpm. Background: According to Casimir Wierzyknski, in his book The Life and Death of Chopin, "up until then this form [the nocturne] had been the exclusive domain of John Field, an Irish-born composer. But his Nocturne in E minor did not satisfy him [Chopin] and was published only posthumously. An informal analysis of the piece is as follows: Bar 1: Introduction, first subject. Bar 2–9: Theme A, in E minor. Bar 10–17: Variation on theme A, beginning with octaves in the right hand. Bar 18–22: Interlude Bar 23–30: Theme B, in B major, consisting of a four bar phrase, repeated with variation, second subject. Bar 31–38: Heavily ornamented variation on A, in E minor, first subject again. Bar 39–46: Variation on theme A, beginning with octaves in the right hand. Bar 47–54: Theme B, modulated to E major, second subject again. Bar 55–57: Coda in E major. Use in modern culture: This piece was played by the actor Jeri Ryan while portraying Seven of Nine at the beginning of the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Human Error". The piece was also performed by Doc Holiday in the 1993 movie Tombstone and was used as the main theme in The Secret Garden (1987). Information about the difficulty: A general estimate is usually visible in the thumbnail top and bottom: green=easy, yellow=intermediate, red=advanced, purple= very advanced. Because I don't consider myself much of a critic or someone that is able to rate pieces very well, but I still like to include a difficulty rating on most pieces, I try to look it up on one or more websites and create an average out of the results I get from there. However, the difficulty rating is debatable in any of the pieces that include one. What is easy for one might be harder for others. The rating is simply an estimate based on the data I had creating it. Feel free to leave other suggestions in the comments :)
