Drawing on Chopin’s original, this nocturne was shaped by Saint-Saëns in his own musical language. At its center is the balance between a singing right-hand melody and the accompaniment that supports it, while delicate shades emerge from an atmosphere of quiet intimacy. The piece can be heard as a single continuous flow, yet its character subtly shifts with changes in the melodic line and harmony. In performance, keep the main melody clear, shape the accompaniment lightly, and give careful attention to the breathing of each phrase. Use the pedal according to each harmony so the sound does not become blurred; a gentle rubato and finely graded dynamics, without excessive sentimentality, can bring out its nocturnal atmosphere.
