Buzarovski Works
Nocturnes op. 49

Dimitrije Buzarovski
Nocturnes op. 49 (2000)
Performed by the author


The Nine Nocturnes for Piano are a part of the cycle Nocturnes (Vecherinki), inspired by Macedonian folk songs.
The compositional technique used by Dimitrije Buzarovski is mainly based on Chopin/Liszt pianistic tradition.
In  accordance with his multi-stylistic and multi-genre approach, he applies the techniques of impressionism,
neoclassicism, jazz etc. Although this composition develops a plot from the first to the last nocturne, each movement
has its own story and can be performed individually.
