Composed by Michael Maw. This edition: pdf, streaming. 19th Century, 20th Century, Classical, Romantic Period. Score. 3 pages. Michael Maw #1293524. Published by Michael Maw (A0.1731774).
Nocturne No. 1 is the first in a set of five nocturnes for piano by Michael Maw. Originally composed at age 15 in a lyrical Romantic style reminiscent of Chopin and Liszt, the work was revised three decades later (in 2025), blending youthful inspiration with mature musical insight.
The piece opens with a calm, introspective theme that captures the quiet stillness of night. A contrasting middle section introduces a surge of passion and dramatic tension before the music gently returns to its tranquil atmosphere and resolves with a sense of peaceful closure.
Ideal for intermediate to advanced pianists, this nocturne combines expressive lyricism with moments of technical brilliance, making it both rewarding to play and evocative to hear.
