      "żal" was the word. Indeed it has a somewhat broader meaning and can encompass "sorrow", "sadness", "longing", "grief", "yearning", "remorse", etc.. AFAIK Chopin did miss Poland and this nocturne sounds like many evenings spent in a familiar, yet unfamiliar country, and being homesick.

      It's a funny thing you say about not easy. I am learning Chopin's Nocturne in c minor posthumus. It looks so very easy and this music is anything but easy. I find the beauty of the voicings and melodies emotionally distracting as I lose my mind in them sometimes. It is very demanding to play.

    I've been listening to Chopin for 2 days straight on Apple Music. It's my fav. composer and Claude Debussy! Most of these musicians starved to death and became famous after. Being a musician is THE most novel profession. Most of them have to do something else to survive and it's tougher when you have a family to feed.

My measure for all piano is Glenn Gould, who may be the spiritual opposite of "romantic" Chopin. But if "Goldberg Variations" comes on some broadcast somewhere, no matter background noise or circumstances, I will sit up and listen: that's Glenn Gould!
