late intermediate

Fugue Op. posth.

Frédéric Chopin

What's this piece like?
When we think of Chopin's music, a fugue is one of the last genres that come to mind. Although never published during his lifetime, this 2-voice fugue displays the composer's mastery of counterpoint and his admiration for the great master of this style, J.S. Bach.
Who's this piece for?
This is a great piece for intermediate level pianists with a solid foundation and strong technique.
