John Field (1782–1837)

Nocturne No. 2 in C minor, easy version

Melody and left-hand roots

The melody as Field wrote it, with the left hand playing only the root of the harmony at the start of each bar. It keeps 378 of the piece's 1131 notes and adds none: a sketch of the piece in its own notes, to read before the real thing. Level 3 of 7, where the piece as written is level 4.
