Rondo à la Krakowiak

Frédéric Chopin's Rondo à la Krakowiak in F major, Op. 14 is a composition for piano and orchestra. It was written in 1828 and dedicated to Princess Anna Zofia Sapieha, whose mother, Izabela Czartoryska, was influential in shaping the burgeoning Romantic aesthetic in Poland, particularly through the Temple of [Polish] Memory in Puławy.

Structure
The piece begins with a soft, pentatonic section in time, which introduces the lively syncopated krakowiak in its typical 2/4 meter. Chopin quotes Niccolò Paganini's Caprice No. 24 during this work, and includes a variation on the quotation. == External links ==
