Description
Catalogued as B.117, this is a very brief miniature lasting under a minute and a half. With only around 258 notes, it favors a smooth, singing melodic line over technical display. Modest in scale, it remains one of Chopin's lesser-known short pieces, approachable for intermediate players while still showing his characteristic lyrical touch.
A broad collection of standalone piano pieces not belonging to any specific set, offering hundreds of varied character pieces to explore and compare.
About the Composer
Frédéric Chopin (1810-1849)
Frederic Chopin was born in Poland and made his career in Paris, remaining unusual among great composers for writing almost exclusively for piano. He poured his longing for his homeland into mazurkas and polonaises, while his ballades and etudes combine poetic melody with harmonic innovation. This site includes 131 of his works, including the "Revolutionary" Etude, Op. 10, No. 12, and Ballades No. 1 and No. 4.
