The Nocturne in E minor, Op. 72 No. 1, WN 23, was composed by Frédéric Chopin in 1826 for solo piano. It was Chopin's first composed nocturne, although it was the nineteenth to be published, in 1855, along with two other early works: a Funeral March in C minor and three écossaises. The composition features an unbroken line of eighth-note triplets in the left hand, set against a slow melody of minims, crotchets, eighth-note duplets and triplets. It consists of 57 bars of common time with the tempo indicated as Andante, quarter note = 69 bpm.

According to Casimir Wierzyknski in his book The Life and Death of Chopin, "until then this form [the nocturne] had been the exclusive domain of John Field, an Irish-born composer. But his Nocturne in E minor did not satisfy him [Chopin] and was published only posthumously".
