There are many MIDI file websites and they download the MIDI files in seconds. Try a Google search for MIDI (with the relevant words): http://www.kunstderfuge.com http://www.kunstderfuge.com/chopin.htm
Alternatively try something like:
Spotify
http://www.spotify.com/en
or YouTube.
These allow you to at least hear the tracks with no costs incurred.

Thanks for the links.

The first one has some very good renderings.

Thanks for the link to the site.

I'm familiar with this method as it's used in at least one of my fakebooks.

However when I tried it out, with *UDDUUUDUD and selected Popular song, it couldn't identify the tune until I typed in:

"somewhere over the rainbow"

but I sure got a lot of other tunes.

It managed to get Summertime without the word hint.

yeah ... btw, here is an interesting site for identifying a tune:
http://www.musipedia.org/
Very simple to use: for example, you just need to use the UDR notation (note goes Up, Down or Repeat) to find out the author! Click on "Contour Search".

The tricky thing here is that it is not a nocturne (although it sounds really like a nocturne) but the etude #19 (Op. 25 #7), lento.

Guillaume:

You are so right - it does sound like a nocturne, and it's approximate length of five minutes pointed to a nocturne, rather than an etude.

Thank you very much.

I seem to recall that it came from:

http://www.classicalarchives.com/

I'll have to go back and download all the Chopin files I can find and try to identify it.

What really annoys me is that the original midi file had the information in it, and I stripped it out!! I did this stupid trick to a number of files.

I have a midi file (and a wave converted in PT) of a Chopin piece (I believe it may be a nocturne), that I don't have a name for. I found it on the internet and can't recall where.

It has four sharps, so must be in C#minor, but isn't Op27 No1 in C#minor.

If anyone on the forum has a list or knowledge of Chopin compositions that would help me identify this piece, I'd be very grateful.

I can e-mail the midi file, or a short snippet of a wave/MP3 file.

Thanks

Glenn
