early intermediate

Polonaise Op. posth.

Frédéric Chopin

What's this piece like?
A piece so deep and serious it's hard to believe Chopin composed it when he was only 7 years old! It's part of his posthumous work, published by his father after the son's death. It suits smaller hands and is one of Chopin's easiest pieces for intermediate level pianists.
Who's this piece for?
An excellent piece for intermediate level pianists who are working on their technique.
