A Little Nocturne

This piece is designed as a miniature pastiche of the Chopin nocturnes and is ideal as a study for any piano student of around Grade V. The key is quite difficult but can easily be transposed down a ST into A minor for those less able (a transposed version is available on request).

The piece will also serve as a demonstration of the use of a Neapolitan 6th (b10) and a German 6th (b33) which both occur once.

The piece was written (21/7/01) especially for Lisa Rubbenck.

The piece has now been complied with a group of small pieces under the title Romantic Miniatures for Piano. The set of pieces consists of my more interesting early compositions and any romantic miniatures that I have written up to the present day.
