Chopin Nocturne no 22 in C# minor Oubliee

The Nocturne oubliée is a good example of the many manuscripts discovered after Chopin's death and (here) brought to light in the former Soviet Union; most such pieces are brief and insubstantial, but here we have a complete Nocturne that -- for all that some have suggested that it is not authentic. It has many of the unmistakeable characteristics of Chopin's early style, suggesting that it is either Chopin's own work or that of a remarkably slavish imitator. Certain figurations are of a type that Chopin would later work out more pianistically, and we can also imagine that a certain amount of ornamentation would distinguish the otherwise-literal recapitulation. For all that it has its shortcomings, this is nevertheless an intriguing glimpse into Chopin's compositional processes
