Nocturne in C-Sharp Minor (Posthumous) was composed by Frederic Chopin. The recording is performed by Jeremiah Jones and is 4 minutes and 5 seconds in length.
This nocturne was published posthumously, which simply means that it was published after Chopin past away. It was composed in 1830 (Chopin would have been about 20 years old at the time) but not published until 1875.
This piece, like most of Chopin's nocturnes, has a mysterious and enchanting quality to it. I cannot help but wonder why Chopin never published this work. Perhaps it did not live up to his standard? Or perhaps it was simply not intended for public performance? The first edition of this work included the following instruction: "For my sister Louise to play, before she practices my second Concerto." -- so perhaps Chopin wrote this merely as a "prelude" for practicing and as such never had it published? Whatever the reason, this work has become one of the more well known of the Nocturnes despite Chopin's disinterest in publication.
This recording is dedicated to the Lloyd family. This work was recorded at my home on my studio upright. As always, I invite you to consider a donation towards the purchase of a new piano for my recordings. You can learn more by visiting www.signmypiano.com.
