The difficulty level of Chopin's "Scherzo No. 1" is level 9-10. This piece was composed between 1831 and 1835 and is composed of three sections. The piece begins with two dissonant chords.

The first theme swirls with violent passion like a storm, and Chopin seems to be angry, resisting, and questioning here (fragment 1). The second theme begins with weird chords, played slowly, and produces a very unpleasant sound; but the second half of the theme speeds up, producing a lively effect.

Then the dissonant chords in the beginning appeared with a sudden change of emotions, but the "sweet dream" in the middle was not broken by this sudden punch. Then the weird chords from the first half of the second theme appear one after another, reintroducing the melancholic mood. The whole song then ends with a powerful reappearance of the first theme.
