Nocturne No 2 in B major initially unfurls as a duet between two intertwining voices. The second section is a spiky, turbulent toccata with leaping octaves and a curvaceous melody wending its way in and out. Finally, the duet returns with an ecstatic, Chopinesque trill.

Le Nocturne nº 2 en si majeur se déploie au départ comme un duo entre deux voix entrelacées. La deuxième section est une toccata piquante et turbulente avec des sauts d’octaves, une mélodie voluptueuse qui va et vient. Finalement, le duo réapparaît avec un trille chopinesque extatique.

Das Nocturne Nr. 2 H-Dur beginnt als Duett zweier ineinander verschlungener Stimmen. Den zweiten Teil bildet eine dornige, turbulente Toccata mit Oktavsprüngen, durch die sich eine kurvige Melodie herein- und hinausschlängelt. Am Ende kehrt das Duett wieder, darüber ein anhaltender Triller à la Chopin.
