Nocturne in E Flat Major

A wonderful piece for a solo recital or concert. From Chopin's Opus 9, no. 2 - originally for piano. Recorded by Marty Hackleman on his CD "After a Dream" which is now available on iTunes.

Concert pitch range is B♭1-G5. Optional passage provided to reduce the high range to E♭5.

The arranger writes..."The Chopin Nocturne is a familiar piece that I always felt should have words. I'm always hearing these words in a language I don't understand; when I play them on the horn the language changes from the original piano Eastern European syntax to a lost Romantic tongue that is languid and sensuous."
