The seventh of Fauré's thirteen Nocturnes, Opus 74, in C sharp minor, was written in 1898 and published the following year. Marked Molto lento, it opens with a theme of initial harmonic ambiguity, followed by a second D major theme of similar propensity. The development of the first theme leads to a central section in F sharp major, where once more the key is hidden at first, with the re-emergence of the pervasive first theme providing a subtle unity.
