A beautifully organized version of the Nocturnes. There is much attention given to detailed fingering and artistic interpretation in terms of harmonic flow and melodic interaction. Of course, the music lends itself to individual understanding and a unique state of consciousness, but this version does well to introduce the player to a well-founded interpretation. Highly recommended!!!

I bought this music because I have it on my ipod played by Ashkenazy. Oh that I could play like Vladimir! At any rate, this is some of the most beautiful music ever written and the book is very well done indeed. It includes all of the nocturnes and is quite easy to read. Since there are a total of 128 pages, it is very nice to have the coiled binder. The book lies at the keyboard very well and will probably last longer than books without that kind of binder. I recommend this music and this particular edition highly.

Chopin's nocturnes are some of my favorite pieces of classical music, so I've wanted to have them to play for a while now. This was the only book that I saw on Amazon that is limited to just his nocturnes. It includes all of his nocturnes, including those published posthumously, which was key for me since C# minor was the piece that introduced me to his work.

Other than that, the way this book is bound is great. The pages turn easily and it stays open to the current page without any assistance. Some, if not all, of these pieces can be quite challenging to play, but if you feel up to his level of difficulty, I highly recommend this collection of his work.

I am playing out of this book now and find it to be educational and well worth the money, I paid for it.

I like the product, because i read some especifications for it and when it arrived, before the date that th seller told me, it was like the especifications said. It an excellent productNocturnes: Piano Solo

This book was exactly what I was looking for. My husband borrowed a copy of this book from someone and liked it so much that he had to order it. We would highly recommend it.

The problem I have is that some of the sheet music is wrong. Looking over the Nocturne in E minor it's missing the very vital C# in bar 8 and the dynamics are a wacky in the Op. 9 No. 1 Nocturne. That's all I really know as I know these pieces pretty well. I may be a bit harsh but I like my sheet music correct.
