Nocturne
Chopin's most beautiful nocturne, the Opus 27 no. 2 in D♭. Haunting and dreamy, it's like watching the moon caress the garden on a balmy but cloudy evening with its fading light.
Lang Lang on the piano at Carnegie Hall.

How moving. One of the best modern renditions of the piece. Piano pieces from the romantic period are just so relaxing to listen to. Though this Chopin piece is superb, I prefer his Nocturne in E-flat Major, Op. 9, No. 2. :-)

Hmmm, I play the E♭ nocturne on the piano, I learned it by heart since high school along with Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata (first movement).
Glad you liked it :)
