The Introduction Thread

[Bespinben]

I like the new guy. A lot.

Speaking of Chopin+Zelda, I must admit the intro I wrote for my "Link Awakens" arrangement was fairly influenced by those Romantic cascading chromatic runs you see in Chopin's nocturnes:



Now there's someone who can appreciate my homage

*le intro*

...but where's purple kecleon...? D:

Yo welcome to the forums Keclon.
But unfortunately I lost you at "Widi".

Even though many are chromatic, there are more actually that have theoretical backing to them. The Db major nocturne for example, is built around tritones if I remember right.

But unfortunately I lost you at "Widi".

Nocturne isn't JUST you, you know... The form was invented by John Field...

[SlowPokemon]

Nocturne probably doesn't know what a nocturne form is tbh

There isn't really a "Nocturne" form like there is, say, Sonata form or Rondo form. Nocturnes have a preset stereotype of having a cantabile melody over an accompaniment (which is usually arpeggiated chords, or a waltz like chordal accompaniment), often being lyrical. The only real influence that is cited for nocturne is that the name suggests night (Nocturne comes from the French word Nocturnal, and the Latin word nocturnus. The first composer to use this specific title was, as I said earlier, the Irish composer John Field, )though Chopin popularized the nocturne genre), although pieces such as Mozart's quadraphonic Notturno in D, K.286, and his Serenata Notturna, K. 239 .
This also makes my previous post incorrect technically  What I meant was that Field made the nocturne a thing.

[SlowPokemon]

I know what a nocturne is.

[Pianist Da Sootopolis]

But you said "Nocturne form", which doesn't exist...
Anyways my smartass side is getting the best of me, as is my music history.

[SlowPokemon]

I'm a classical pianist. I know what a nocturne is.
