"Nachtstück, Op. 118/1" is a solo piano piece composed by Danish composer Axel Borup-Jørgensen. The piece was composed in 1983 and premiered the same year in Copenhagen. The piece is part of a larger collection of piano pieces titled "Six Piano Pieces, Op. 118." The piece is characterized by its haunting and atmospheric qualities, with a slow and melancholic tempo. The piece is in a minor key, with a simple and repetitive melody that is gradually developed throughout the piece. The use of dissonance and chromaticism adds to the eerie and unsettling atmosphere of the piece. The piece is divided into three distinct sections, with the first section featuring the main melody in the right hand accompanied by a simple chord progression in the left hand. The second section features a more complex and dissonant melody, with the left hand playing a series of arpeggios. The final section returns to the original melody, but with added embellishments and variations. Overall, "Nachtstück, Op. 118/1" is a haunting and atmospheric piece that showcases Borup-Jørgensen's skill in creating evocative and expressive music for the piano.
