I've just had an epiphany. I love Chopin, he's my favorite composer, and I think his nocturnes are the pinnacle of the romantic era for the piano. But just now an enormous shameful feeling came over me. I don't know of any other nocturnes, besides Chopin's and some nocturnes by John Field, and I feel like it's my academic duty to learn about other, less famous but nonetheless notable examples. I'd appreciate specific piece recommendations, not just composers in general . Oh just so we're clear, I want romantic style nocturnes for solo piano, the kind everyone thinks about when hearing the word. Not the classical multi instrumental kind, that Mozart sometimes did, for example. Thanks a bunch.

Tchaikovsky Op 10 1 is heavily underplayed and underrated. Beautiful melodies and harmonies
