Barcarolle (Chopin)

The beginning of the Barcarole

The Barcarole in F sharp major, Op. 60 is a piece for solo piano by Frédéric Chopin, composed from the autumn of 1845 to the summer of 1846. Written in the barcarole form, it features a sweepingly romantic and slightly wistful tone. Most of the technical figures for the right hand are thirds and sixths, while the left features some very long reaches over an octave.
