Hi. I'm listening a recording with Mischa Elman, playing a
transcription of Chopin's Nocturne op. 27 nr 2 in D flat. Wow, if I
could ever play that beautiful. ...Probably not, but good start would
be to get some sheet music. So, does anybody know if this
transcription is availible "on paper"?

I have also read that Heifetz played Chopin pieces on the violin as a
form of practice. My understanding is that they transcribed their own
(or worked directly from a piano part.)

I recently saw Nigel Kennedy in concert - he played a Chopin Nocturne as an
encore - I think its on his latest CD. I believe its a new transcription
(along with a Satie Gymnopedie). Lovely to listen to but perhaps a bit too
slushy if you're used to the originals.

Thanks. Does the op. 27 nocturne include lots of double-stops?,
...then I'm sure it's that one. (I'm sorry for the bad grammar in my
last post, I typed way too fast)

The violinist Ruggiero Ricci made a recording of ALL the Chopin
Nocturnes. They were arranged by people like Heifetz, Kreisler,
Wilhelmj, Sarasate and Milstein. I'm not sure if it's still in print or
not.

Max,

It does have a lot of double-stops, must be the right one. I have a LP by
Elman, he played the Op.9 No.2 Nocturne also arranged by Sarasate.

Happy playing and Merry Christmas!

Regards
Philip

Now that my sheet-music searchbox is working again for classical-music, I
can say, with better results, to try it, by putting in

for Composition: nocturne
for Composer chopin

and you'll see 4 results, one of them, the op. 27, #2
