Description
As its title suggests, this B-flat major miniature calls for a singing, song-like touch. Lasting only about a minute, it presents a smoothly flowing melodic line with few technical hurdles, placing its focus instead on phrasing and tone. Accessible to intermediate players, it showcases Chopin's gift for lyrical melody in a compact form.
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.
