What are Chopin’s famous piano pieces?

In Chopin's creation during this period, the profound national content, original artistic form and skillful musical style enabled his art to reach the level of proficiency. His creations involve various genres of piano music, from etudes, preludes, mazurkas, polonaises, nocturnes, waltzes, impromptu, to ballads, scherzos, and sonatas with more complex structures. All have achieved fruitful artistic results. Most of Chopin's etudes were created during this period, among which "Etude in E major" (1832), "Etude in B minor" (1834), and "Etude in A minor" (1834) are the most prominent.

"Etude in E major" is a tender and profound lament. Its melody is one of the most beautiful tunes created by Chopin, and it pours out his infinite love for the motherland. "Etudes in B Minor" is a work full of gloomy and angry emotions. Its theme is intense and dramatic, while its middle part permeates a melancholy and tranquil atmosphere. In the etude genre, which is suitable for mainly expressing a single image, the principle of such a strong contrast between two themes is used to create a sharp dramatic conflict. This is also rare in Chopin's etudes.

"Etude in A Minor" is emotionally severe and majestic. The whole piece develops from a simple horn-like musical motive into a magnificent current, pushing the music to a dramatic and tragic climax, and has shocking power. . Among Chopin's three sonatas, the most outstanding in terms of profound content and artistic originality is the "Piano Sonata in B flat minor" (1839), the third movement of which, "Funeral March", is a tribute to the people who fought for the Warsaw Uprising. The mourning of the martyrs who gave their lives for national liberation is one of the most popular chapters in Chopin's music. "Polonaise in A major" (1838) is an ode to victory and triumph, with rich and powerful orchestra-like sound throughout, showing the glorious scene of ancient Poland celebrating its national victory. "Polonaise in C minor" (1839) is a sad tone poem lamenting the fall of the motherland. The emotional tone of the theme is sad and depressing, but it is not sentimental at all. "Polonaise in F sharp minor" (1841) is grand in scale and dramatic, and it is related to the imagination of the national war scenes in Polish history. The tragic and solemn first and last parts contrast with the dark and melancholy middle part, which is unique in the Polonaise genre. "Bolonaise in A flat major" (1842) is one of the most resolute, heroic, magnificent and majestic pieces of its kind. Its theme has decisive and vigorous rhythm, passionate and heroic melody and bright major-key harmony, which embodies the image of an indomitable national hero. The middle part of the music is rich in distinctive modeling. The sound of horse hooves and the sound of horns are intertwined, forming a scene of an ancient battlefield with galloping horses and the shadow of moonlight swords. The composer's nostalgia for ancient times merged with realistic feelings, forming a surging national emotion that cannot be suppressed.
