It's Fantaisie-Impromptu, a piece by Chopin published posthumously as Op. 66.

There are many threads on Pianostreet about this piece.  A lot of this info may be helpful to you in learning and practicing it.  Try a search.  Also try searching for "FI".
Made a Liszt. Need new Handel's for Soler panel & Alkan foil. Will Faure Stein on the way to pick up Mendels' sohn. Josquin get Wolfgangs Schu with Clara. Gone Chopin, I'll be Bach

I kinda discovered this piece in the same way. It was preset in my digital piano, and I couldn't find out what it was.
Months later I went to a concert and I heard it. And I had to grin because it was Chopin. I already loved Chopin, but this kinda made it a fact that, even if I don't know it's his, I still love the style.
(Although Chopin hated this piece. He wrote it at around the age of 22, but it's only published after his death)

Take Your Seat! Trifonov Plays Brahms in Berlin

To celebrate the end of the year, the star pianist performs Johannes Brahms’s monumental Piano Concerto No. 2 with the Philharmoniker and Kirill Petrenko on December 31.
