While there isn’t a lot to choose from beyond solo piano in Chopin’s work, I think it would be remiss not to mention at least one piece that isn’t solo piano. Another composer might have made 3 or 4 different pieces out of this, but Chopin adds beautiful melody after beautiful melody into this one piece for a recipe of deeply satisfying music.
EAY CHOPIN MUSIC FULL
Composed in 1845, just a few years before he died, it is full of amazing harmonic progressions and textures. This piece runs an average of eight and a half minutes, but doesn’t tire the listener (though it might tire the pianist!). 4 in F minor Opus 52 (written in 1842 in Paris) is the most beautiful.īarcarolle in F# major opus 60 is one of the bigger undertakings of Chopin for the pianist. Of the four Ballades Chopin wrote, I think Ballade No. The Prelude in B minor is a close second for the beautiful left hand tune and was also played at Chopin’s funeral. As Chopin chose to have this piece played at his own funeral, it must have been extremely meaningful to him and it’s another reason to listen again. This prelude turns up in many films, including “The Pianist” and “Five Easy Pieces” and more recently, “Florence Foster Jenkins”. Prelude in E minor is a very sad, almost tragic, piece that is dear to my heart. There are 28 Preludes in all, 3 of them published posthumously. Known as “The Aeolian Harp” etude, it consists of fast moving arpeggios throughout the first section. 1 stands out to me as one of the most beautiful. The astonishingly difficult left hand repeated scale starts around 3:06 in this video – and it’s mesmerizing. The best known and perhaps the one with the most hope and strength is Opus 53 in A flat major, known as the “Heroic”. There are 23 of them, 7 published during his lifetime.
