SKU: A0.1278738

Composed by Frederic Chopin. Arranged by Brian Streckfus. This edition: audio, pdf, streaming. 19th Century, Classical, Instructional, Romantic Period. Guitar Tab. 7 pages. Brian Streckfus #870305. Published by Brian Streckfus (A0.1278738).

Disclaimer: The B section is incredibly difficult on guitar. Recreating giant low-pitched piano chords on guitar is a hard ask.
Pages:
7 (4 + 3 two versions)
Key: Transposed from G minor to A minor (whole step down tuning if you want the original key.)

I included both the tablature version and just the sheet music version so that this is more inclusive. Just be careful of your printers settings if you don't want to print the whole pdf!

Chopin is my favorite composer and this is great piece. It is ambitious to arrange and perform this on guitar. Compromises have to be constantly made, and so of course some bass clef notes or duplicate letter names have been removed. The B section is especially difficult since all notes might be possible if it was played an octave up, but then the mood and tone completely changes.

Features:
1. Arranged for guitar.
2. Slurs added
3. Glissandos added.
4. Composer indications added.
5. Guitar tablature added.
6. Chord nomenclature added.
7. I transposed the key to make it more idiomatic for guitar.

Tips:
1. Published in 1840
2. The piece is in ternary form (ABA)
3. Since Chopin's nocturne's are extremely romantic in style, so rubato and dynamics can be extreme.
