The Rondo in C major for two pianos, Op. posth. 73, by Frédéric Chopin, was composed in 1828, when the composer was just 18 years old and a student at the Warsaw Conservatory. A typical performance lasts 8-9 minutes.[1]

The work was originally conceived for solo piano, although Chopin soon after arranged it for two pianos. The work was not published until after his death, when the two-piano version reached print in Berlin in 1855.[2]
