Commons FliX | [CLASSICAL MUSIC] - "Mazurka in A flat major, B. 85" by Frédéric Chopin @CommonsFliXMusic | Uploaded February 2019 | Updated October 2024, 15 hours ago.
Frédéric Chopin composed this Mazurka in A flat major around 1834. It is a somewhat obscure piece, with no known dedicatee, and published posthumously in 1930 (it is noteworthy that Chopin had requested that his unpublished works be burnt upon his death).
As it doesn't have a proper Opus number, it is usually referred to as B. 85, and KK IVb/4, according to its entry numbers in the Brown and Kobylanska catalogues respectively.
Performer: Edward Neeman.

Frédéric Chopin wrote his Galop in A flat major, also known as Galop Marquis in 1846. It is a work for solo piano, and it doesnt count among Chopins most performed pieces.
It did not receive an opus number during Chopins lifetime, so it usually referred to as P2 no. 13 under the Józef Michal Chominski catalogue.
It has been suggested that the title makes reference to one of George Sands (Chopins lover) dogs.
Performer: Aya Higuchi.

![[CLASSICAL MUSIC] - Harpsichord suite no. 14 by François Couperin](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xlB5PzpSYJU/hqdefault.jpg "[CLASSICAL MUSIC] - Harpsichord suite no. 14 by François Couperin
A harpsichord, also known by the name cembalo, is a musical instrument played by means of a keyboard. It produces sound by plucking a string when a key is pressed.
In the narrow sense, harpsichord designates only the large wing-shaped instruments in which the strings are perpendicular to the keyboard.
François Couperin is known above all for his harpsichord music: between 1713 and 1730 he published four books of suites (ordres) for harpsichord.
The movements of these suites have highly ornamented melodies and complex accompaniments, with frequent dialogues between treble and bass.
00:00 - Le Rossignol-en-amour.
02:26 - La Linote efarouchee.
04:20 - Les Fauvetes Plaintives.
09:11 - Le Rossignol-Vainqueur.
10:50 - Le Carillon de Cithere.
14:45 - Le Petit-Rein.
16:55 - Pantomime.

Frédéric Chopin wrote his Barcarole in F sharp major, Op. 60, between 1845 and 1846. It was one of the last pieces he ever played in front of an audience, and it was reported that he could barely play above the pianissimo level when he did so, such was the state of his health.
It is also the only barcarole of Chopins repertoire, which is not surprising, given that the barcarole form itself tends to impose some limitations on the composition process. Nonetheless, he was apparently fond of the work: it is nowadays a repertoire piece for many concert pianists, and many notable composers have praised it.
Performer: Olga Gurevich.
