Ummm... none of 'em on that list. The Barcarolle comes close, but.... no, not close enough.

What you need to do, pianochild, if you're going to do one of these threads (there have already been several, and none of them turned out too friendly) is list every single one of Chopin's works. That way, NOBODY can complain that their favorite isn't on there. Otherwise, this will turn into a feuding club (probably will anyway, but...meh.) Go find EVERY SINGL ONE. because you know there will be someone who loves his obscure works- most likely many of them.

For me, the Polonaise-Fantasie is a masterpiece, a work of perfection.

You gotta love how he just groups the 3 Sonatas together. Cute little pieces they are.  ;D

The second scherzo does indeed rule. I voted for it and the Opus 10 Etudes.

Why are the other scherzos not on the list? I don't like scherzo 2, find number 1 and 4 superior. Note that the tristesse etude is included within the op 10 etudes. It makes no sense to group the three sonatas together and put over an hour of music on the same level as the raindrop prelude.

That's okay I already did. It's more like 40-45 minutes, not all day.  ;D
