I think a more appropriate title would be Pieces of a Nightmare. UGH. NO melodious content at all, just pure pianist pugilism. The piano sure file charges for assualt and battery.

George Flynn
American Nocturne I, from Pieces of Night Play
Recorded on 04/26/1990, uploaded on 07/03/2009
Musician's or Publisher's Notes
The first nocturne ("turmoil") opens with a statement of materials and textures followed by a "development" leading to a lullaby, a rest that changes into a pounding nightmare before collapsing into a thick, rolling texture. Out of this texture appears an ascending passage that soars to the piano's highest notes and then drifts into a sweet chorale-like section before introducing the second lullaby. The nocturne ends with a quit reprise of the opening sounds.
