The Quest of the Nocturne By: Andy Huang, Shaurya Bedi, Collin Togher Deep in the forest of South America, the tribe of the Nocturne monkeys was in tatters.

With Hiroshige’s Twilight Moon at Ryogoku Bridge and Whistler’s Nocturne in Blue and Gold there are many formal elements. For instance, the lines in both works tell us a lot. The lines the boats are on give a sense of motion and direction, while the vertical lines for the bridges show stability. The vibrant colors of Hiroshige’s work give a good indication of what the bridge would look like at twilight. On the other hand, Whistler’s use of dull colors gives the work a dark and foggy setting.

In Nocturne in D flat Major, Frederic Chopin (1810-1849) creates a complex work that consists of complicated harmonies and rhythmic motives. These two components are interwoven to build elaborate themes which lead to a melodic design that Chopin is known for. The piece has multiple key elements that combine to form this expressive work for piano, such as thematic growth. Various themes are introduced in the work and as Chopin develops them, they are barely recognizable. Other important elements in

“Chopin and the Character Piece: Nocturnes, Preludes, and Ballades.” The transition into the Romantic era of music saw the development of many new characteristics. For the most part, the music evolved from established forms, genres, and musical ideas, but there was more emphasis on expression.
