"Easy" Chopin Pieces

[Franz_Liszt_X]

Are there any pieces of Chopin that are "easy"

[88keys]

That depends what you mean by "easy"...

But here are a few pieces you might want to look into:

Preludes Op. 28: No. 4, 6, 7 and 20
Waltz in A minor, Op. 34/2
Waltz in Ab major, Op. 69/1 ("L'adieu")
Waltz in F minor, Op. 70/2

Chopin also wrote something like 80 Mazurkas, ranging from very easy to moderately difficult. Perhaps someone who has the sheet music can recommend specific ones to you.

[Garfield]

Yeah, most of Chopin's Mazurkas are very great and not too hard to play (except some of them).
I can suggest you a easy (maybe too easy for you! I don't know) but beautiful one : Mazurka op.67 n°2
But the best way to know what to play (Mazurkas or other things) is to listen recording and eventually find a sheet music !

Have a nice day!

Here are my suggestions:

-Albumleaf (a.k.a Moderato in E Major)

-Etude 25/7 (same as 10/3)

Op.56 and 59 are fairly difficult

Kevin, as you obviously had realized before posting, this thread was from 2003.  There are a lot of threads about Chopin difficulty and Chopin favorites that are recent. Yes, the OP, to quote you 'was long gone'.
