Pick your favorite set of compositions! For me it's the Etudes, fun to play, learn, and listen, wonderful pieces.

The symphonies, oratorios, operas and quartets have the quality I most appreciate when it comes to Chopin.

Thank God Chopin wrote mostly for piano only. Just imagine if he had spread his crappy music to other genres.

I guess we all have our different tastes... but I pity you for not being able to see the absolute wonder of Chopin's music.

What wonder? You mean melodrama? OK

Please listen to:

Ballade 1
Etude 10/3
Nocturne E-flat
Piano concerto E minor
Barcarolle op. 60

If you don't at least like at least a few of those, you are either not of this earth, or a very bad actor.

I'm not surprised. They appear to have stolen all your punctuation.

The piece you have listed in your currently learning confuses me if you hold this statement to be true.
