Borodin's Nocturne forms the slow movement of the String Quartet No. 2 in D, which was composed in 18S8. The music is very sensuous and lyrical and its chief thense is reminiscent of one of the tunes in the Poiovtsian Dances from Prince Igor. The Nocturne is often played separately and is an example of a thoorughly beautiful and expressive Syrical movement.
