The Nocturne from Poulenc’s Napoli is a richly colored piano piece in which quiet reverie meets a touch of urban wit. A singing melody is supported by a transparent accompaniment, while unexpected harmonic turns and light rhythmic movement emerge within its calm flow. Carefully distinguishing the lyrical passages from the shifts in expression is central to its appeal. The melody should be allowed to resonate fully without making the inner voices or accompaniment too heavy. Use the pedal sparingly so that the sonority remains clear, and shape the breathing with subtle rubato to bring out both the nocturnal atmosphere and Poulenc’s characteristic sense of wit.
