Fantasy in F minor

on: August 09, 2004, 08:23:31 AM

Fantasy in F minor by Chopin has a really interesting cadence at the end... and I was just wondering if there was a name for the cadence?

Yes! 'Plagal'.

This looks like a good piece, I just looked at it for the first time, whose recordings are good?

I have a recording of it played by Perahia, its quite good. I'd imagine that an Ashkenazy recording of it would be well worth it, too. I just love that peice.

I'm not quite sure if it's quite plagal.. yes the base does go from IV - I but the IV chord is in a minor key...
