6 Artfully Crafted Nocturnes Etched in a Pleasant Style
by Karen Beecher
LATE INTERMEDIATE PIANO COLLECTION
Notturni d’intaglio draws inspiration from the lyrical beauty of Chopin’s Nocturnes and the fiery passion of Albéniz’s Iberia. In this expressive set of six Late Intermediate piano solos, Karen Beecher crafts music that encourages students to deepen their sensitivity to phrasing, tone, and nuance — with melodies that emulate the natural inflection of the human voice.
Each piece is written with both musicality and pedagogy in mind, providing rewarding opportunities for expressive development. Whether performed individually or as a complete set, these nocturnes offer a cohesive artistic experience.

Reminiscent of some of the most popular Chopin Nocturnes, sprinkled with hints of Mendelssohn's Songs Without Words, each of Beecher's six artistically crafted nocturnes introduces the developing pianist not only to the nuanced expressive idioms of Chopin's music, but also to the structural clarity and the simplistic elegance of this 19th century genre.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed and thoughtful response to Notturni. Your description of these pieces as accessible preparations for Field and Chopin — with touches of Mendelssohn — beautifully captures what we hoped this collection would offer developing pianists.
It’s especially meaningful to hear that the expressive idioms, structural clarity, and elegant writing of the nocturne genre are coming through in a way that serves your students so well. Thank you again for sharing your experience with this music.
