What's your favorite type of Chopin's music

[b3n]

In ths order:

Waltz
Etude
Nocturnes
Preludes
Polonaise
Mazurka

[Chozart]

preludes in the middle.. and mazurkas last??

dear god..

[b3n]

Well i cant put them all at #1.

But preludes and nocturnes are about equal and i meant to put mazurka's above polonaise.

[Debussy]

The noctures are definitely great.

[citrine_peridot]

I 'm the only who clicked on polonaise~~~~~~~`

[Goldberg]

And I was the only one to put "other" apparently..

[elvenpianist]

very hard to choose, because it's various selections of each..

but in order (overall, exceptions, of course, exist):
- etudes
- preludes
- waltzes/ballades/scherzi

WHAT?! Etudes first?!?!?!?!?!?!

yeah I've changed since then don't worry, lol.. thank GOD.. haha.
I now am not fond of many of the etudes >_>
preludes and mazurkas tied
and 'other' things like the Barcarolle. Ballades are still up there too.

[Brewtality]

Waltzes, etudes, polonaises, mazurkas. Its a pretty impossible question to answer definitively, they all are great imo

Waltzes? what was i thinking?!
The 2 concerti are my favourites now. I'm sick of the Etudes; listened to waaaay too many sets.

I'm sick of the Etudes; listened to waaaay too many sets.

Heh, same here. Lately the Mazurkas have been my favorite, but almost all the sets have had their turn(s) as my favorites : Ballades, Scherzi, Waltzes, Etudes, Concerti, Preludes, Impromptus, Polonaises and even Rondi! Haha, I wonder what's next. But of course, I've discovered many different composers in detail as well, which has slowed down my Chopin discoveries somewhat (though there's not all that much left to discover).

PS

[citrine_peridot]

I like the sonatas now...(i just like something long...)

and why can't I change the vote!!!

[Lya]

What he composed before 20 yo. (Krakowiak (op.14), Fantasy on Polish airs (op.13), piano sonata op.4, trio op.8, Variations on La Ci Darem La Mano op.2...) There aren't listen enough... BUT MARVELLOUS <3

[jcarson]

As a set, I'd have to say the nocturnes, but my favorite Chopin piece is the andante spianato in Grand Polonaise Brillante.

[Rosmarie Pérez]

HELLO I AM A NEW MEMBER, NOT A MUSICIAN, MY FAVORITE TYPE OF CHOPIN,S MUSIC IS PRECISELY THE ONE I AM LISTENING IN THAT MOMENT. A VERY SPECIAL AND UNDESCRIBABLE FEELING FOR ME IS WITH SCHERZO NO.2 MI BEMOL, FROM THE FIRST TIME I HEARD IT A LITTLE GIRL 6 YEARS OLD, NOW QUITE OLD, IT STILL HAS THE SAME, OR MAYBE LARGER EFFECT.
