Nocturne in F-sharp minor, Op. 48, No. 2
The Nocturne in F-sharp minor, Op 48, No. 2 is initially marked andantino and is in 4/4 meter. It switches to più lento at measure 57 and returns to the original tempo at measure 101. The piece is a total of 137 measures long.
When compared with the more melancholy outer themes, the middle section, più lento, is completely different-the piece modulates from minor to major (D♭), changes its meter to 3/4 and decreases tempo. Frederick Niecks commented that the middle section "is finer" and contains "soothing, simple chord progressions." Chopin once noted that the middle section was like a recitative and should be played as if "a tyrant commands, and the other asks for mercy." The recapitulation is cut short by the coda, which ends with trills, a rising arpeggio and final chord in F♯ major (a Picardy third).
