Yes there are. I don't know the exact story. I remember having read 
somewhere it was written for his sister, as a pre-study for the 2nd piano 
concerto. Maybe the complete story can be found somewhere on the internet.

I think it is interesting to see that the 3/4 theme from the 2nd concerto 
in this version of the Nocturne is much more recognizable than in the 
better known 4/4 version without those polymetric bars.
