Happy Friday.

Today's free track from YourClassical is one from composer Frederic (to use his Anglicized name) Chopin. The album from which it comes is entitled Fryderyk Chopin - Noctures Volume 1. The album is published by Naxos and is Volume 5 of their series "Complete Piano Music." The album has won at least one award, information concerning which is displayed on the album cover. You may wish to visit this dedicated Naxos webpage for the album to learn more about the album. (Oddly the award was in 1995, but the physical release of the album wasn't until 1999. I don't have any idea how that could have happened--I don't think that there was distribution of digital music yet in 1995, apart from the use of physical media (I'm thinking of CD's in particular). But I could be wrong).

Idil Biret is credited with doing the piano performance. No conductor is mentioned, but I suppose that with a purely piano piece the pianist serves as his own conductor. I dunno. I am so ignorant about classical music, and music in general.

I just got finished listening to the 5 minute, 35 second free piece, Nocturne No. 1, Op. 9. It is completely in piano, as alluded to above. It is a very pleasant piece, in my opinion--there are no extreme high and lows in volume, and the piece has a nice, slow tempo.

Grab the freebie from this webpage. Clicking on "Direct MP3 download link" will cause the piece to automatically download to your default location. You can also stream the piece from that webpage, if for some reason you should want to.

The piece should be up on YourClassical's website until early Monday morning, as they do not make posts on Saturdays and Sundays.
