Description: Frdric Chopins Nocturne in G minor, Op. 37, No. 1 is one of the simpler nocturnes with a more ornamental melodic line. A church-like atmosphere in the chords of the middle section potentially allude to religion. The chorale-like music may have represented Chopin's faith in the consoling power of religion.

Description: Frdric Chopins Nocturne in D-flat major, Op. 27, No. 2 consists of two strophes, repeated in increasingly complex variations. The main cadence, near the end of the piece, is one of the most glorious moments in Chopin's entire output. The duality of voices is reminiscent of the sweet summer of two souls. The piece occasionally has been featured in popular culture, such as in the James Bond movie, The Spy Who Loved Me, the 1998 Russian film The Barber of Siberia, and the webcomic Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal.

Description: The first part of Frdric Chopins Nocturne in G minor, Op. 15, No. 3, has a peculiar atmosphere fantastic, mystical, surreal, turning in the second part of the Nocturne into a chorale, played sotto voce, as if under ones breath, in a quietude that evokes the mood of religious contemplation.

Description: Composed in 1832, Frdric Chopins Nocturne in F-sharp major, Op. 15, No. 2 is a technically challenging piece. The first section, Larghetto, features an intricate, elaborately ornamental melody over an even quaver bass. The second section, labeled doppio movimento (double speed), resembles a scherzo with dotted quaver-semi quaver melody, semi-quavers in a lower voice in the right hand, and large jumps in the bass. The final section is a shortened version of the first with characteristic cadenzas and elaboration, finishing with an arpeggio, falling at first, then dying away.
