"Rather than reflecting anything particularly nocturnal, I took Chopin's approach, aptly described by Liszt, which 'bears our thoughts at the outset toward those hours wherein the soul, released from all the cares of the day, is lost in self-contemplation.'
Self-contemplation can take on may forms: from quiet enquiring reflection through to frantic doubt and despair. Employing a simple binary form, with slow and fast sections closing with a short coda that reflects upon a particular aspect of the slow material, gave me the opportunity to give musical express to this duality." ~ Kenneth Young
