Misc. Notes Considering the two earliest published versions of this piece (3 Nocturnes, No.2, and 3 Romances, No.3), the passages occupying bars 40-48 appeared in the Romance but not the Nocturne, where it was replaced with a simple restatement of the theme. Compared to the Nocturne, the Romance had a less taut structure and the ending was not nearly so imaginative (according to Branson). David Branson's version is thus a conflation of both the Nocturne and Romance. It appeared frequently in his recitals, and he broadcast it in 1965 on BBC Radio 3.
