ANZCA Grade 5 Classical - world of Chopin

Frédéric Chopin is the kind of composer that you really can't avoid if you learn piano. But hey, that's a good thing, because he wrote some of the best piano music out there. Most of his music is for solo piano, and pieces like the Grade 5 ones below would have originally been played for fun in 'lounge rooms' throughout 19th century Europe, just like Chopin himself is doing in the picture. So carry on the tradition, and bring some Chopin into your lounge room!

F. Chopin - Mazurka Op. 7 No. 1

F. Chopin - Mazurka Op. Post. 68 No. 3

F. Chopin - Waltz in A minor (Op. Post.)

Bonus piece written by Chopin (slightly harder than Grade 5)
