Chopin's Nocturne in E minor, Op.72 No.1 represents his early exploration of the nocturne genre he later perfected. Though composed when he was just 17 years old, it already showcases his signature lyrical melancholy and innovative use of rubato. Paradoxically, this first nocturne became his last published work in the genre due to the composer's perfectionism.

Composed in 1827-1829 but published posthumously in 1855, this nocturne reflects Chopin's early Romantic style, blending lyrical melancholy with intricate ornamentation. Its association with themes of lost love in modern media echoes its emotional depth.

Composed in 1827 but published after Chopin's death, this nocturne reflects his early Romantic style, blending lyrical melancholy with delicate ornamentation. It remains a staple of solo piano repertoire.
