Chopin’s Nocturne in E major Op. 62 no. 2 was composed in 1846, just a few years before his passing. It is constructed in a ternary ABA form, the A part being calm and reflective, while the B part is stormy and agitated. As in a sonata form, the middle section functions as an harmonically intense dramatic development, before returning to the key of E major, recalling the main lyrical theme.Notes by Tom Zalmanov
