Sometimes chopin tries to please instead of listening to his self. Lioke op. 2 variations on Mozart I think tyhis is V I L E ! As flaccis as Moscheles,Cramer adsn all that other 19th century junk.What fool would compare this to the berceuse or barcarolle. This is trash played with the sensitivity of a fine pianist.
Meeting I think were in Warsaw in 1829, Chopin wrote only Variations on that... I think it is popular, international song - in Poland it is called "Za rok, za dzien, za chwile"
hey guy, look it up! The piece is written by another composer but he just wrote the variations. He heard Paganini play it and he chose to do his own piano arrangement of it. Look it up on Wiki or something.
@4candles Well, depends upon what you consider "write". The theme is not his but he did re-write it. But the beautiful variations are his. This is one of my favourite pieces by the young Chopin.
This piece is just variations on The Carnival of Venice. I wondered why Chopin used Paganini in the title of the piece (even though Paganini had written his variations on the folk tune).
A lovely little piece! I think it'd gain worlds if slowed down some (like the Berceuse) or speed-increased considerably (like the Berceuse when seen as something of ice and wind).
Score available on <www5.famille.ne.jp/~therapy/PDF/chop_souvenir_de_paganini.pdf>. Sort of reminds me of the Berceuse. Cute. Nice to air out the odd rare piece now and again. Thanks for posting!

Next to Berceuse op 57, this is probably the most beautiful piece Chopin wrote.

Chopin DID NOT write this - this is his variation on a violin wrote he heard violinist Paganini play.

The theme is written by another person, but he embellished it, wrote variations on it and that kind of thing.
GeorgeMaxwellDuPre 2 years ago
@GeorgeMaxwellDuPre So he did write it then! ;)
Paganini just wrote the original melody...

@4candles Actually, Paganini didn't write the original melody.
Rossini had used it before Paganini - and before that, it was an old Italian "folk" melody...

Variations that sound a lot like Paganini's variations.

I've heard the original version for solo violin. This, in a way, is Chopin's piano simplification of the original violin variations.
