Like many musical articles on Wikipedia, there is very little technical information. Gingermint (talk) 00:05, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

Frédéric Chopin

 * One would think there would be more of a focus on Frédéric Chopin in this article?WackoJacko (talk) 09:53, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Elaboration
Planning to add some additional content on the dual and vocal nocturne's... expect to eventually link in to this article as the parent.--Matthewpierce (talk) 02:44, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Nocturne is also a character in a game. In the game he is a character who more or less creates nightmares that forces people to never fall asleep living this nightmare until they go insane.
 * Stuff about other uses of the word do not belong in this article which is about the music. Squinge (talk) 23:31, 20 November 2014 (UTC)

Modern Day composers of Nocturnes
While a great many classical composers are listed, nocturnes (or the "style") could be attributed to a number of composers of orchestral music for soundtracks. I'm not sure a complete list is can be made, nor prudent to even attempt. Rather, provide some samples from different era's would be better. Thomas Newman is one of my favourites for generating tunes/tracks (from movies that he composed for) that fall into this genre, but there are many others. Imagine theme music for when you are walking a serene, contemplative path - and alone at 3AM. That's how I describe a nocturne. --71.10.145.225 (talk) 03:35, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

Should Rolf Løvland / Secret Garden 1995 be mentioned here? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.189.78.248 (talk) 09:30, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

'...normally played for an evening party and then laid aside'.
I don't understand the phrase 'and then laid aside'. Does this mean that the piece was intended for a single performance on a specific occasion, and would not ever be heard again? Or does it mean literally 'discarded'? ~ 2001:8003:3020:1C00:880A:6BB5:220:EDA (talk) 00:02, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
