Nocturnes

piano

Nocturnes presents seven visions of the night—poetic, anguished, lyrical, anxious, violent, dreamlike, or tinged with melancholy.

The first unfolds over a persistent rhythm in the bass, above which a very simple, expressive melody emerges—almost childlike in appearance, though its innocence proves deceptive. The second hovers between the illusion of a slow waltz and the echo of an imaginary Gymnopédie. The third explores a short melodic cell in a three-part canon, alternating with rhythmically and harmonically denser material.

The fourth, expressive in nature, is built from brief elements that interweave and evolve through unexpected modulations. The fifth offers a long, singing melody delicately supported by constantly shifting harmonies. The sixth invites the listener on a journey aboard an imaginary vehicle: an unchanging pedal figure in the left hand underpins a slowly unfolding melody in the right, evoking a passing landscape seen from a moving train.

The seventh and final vision is structured around two core ideas: a modulating pedal motif, and a descending scalar fragment that undergoes a series of subtle transformations.
