nocturnes
Dreamy piano pieces
Nocturnes is the plural of nocturne, a dreamy musical composition evocative of night.
The term applies especially to piano pieces—Chopin's nocturnes are the most famous examples.
In visual art, a nocturne is a night scene, particularly atmospheric paintings of moonlit landscapes or cityscapes: Whistler's nocturnes of the Thames.
