"Chopin’s nocturnes are widely regarded as some of the finest works for solo piano and continue to hold a prominent place in today’s concert repertoire. He composed 21 of them between 1827 and 1846, and they have become a cen- tral part of the repertoire. Many of his compositions began as improvisations — musical ideas discovered at the piano and later carefully crafted into written works. There is so much more to say about it — but for me, it was partially through studying and playing it over time that I have come to understand it better. From the beginning, the goal was never to just record these nocturnes. I wanted to learn and grow as a pianist and mostly as a musician. I wanted to understand how to shape storytelling at the instrument, to create a musical narrative through phrasing, colour, timing, and silence. And there is no better repertoire to explore that with, than with these nocturnes." - Marie François
