The twentieth Nocturno Of Chopin
was lately discovered by the merest
accident, and it is said to be finer
than all the known pieces OF that COM
poser. Jacob Tobanja, a well known
Venetian, travelling in Switzerland,
bought of a music dealer a volume Of
musical compositions in manuscript.
The dealer had no idea Of its origin
and Tobanja was only interested in
the curious handwriting. Coming
home, he examined the quarto, and a
couple Of pages that had been folded
up attracted his attention. With the
aid Of a magnifying glass he decipher-
ed the signature and title "Nocturno,
opus 20, Chopin"
