Full Version: Chopin's Masterworks
Well, I apologise if I sounded offensive, but I just wanted sl123451 to know that Op.38 is the F major Ballade and Op.58 is the B Minor Sonata. You see, everyone makes mistakes, even record companies. And thank you for highlighting it out, Semele.
You did sound offensive. It is Op.58 woopde doo. Anyone can make a mistake yes so don't go on about it.

In regards to sl123451 and pianoplayer's comments, piano player is right, Chopin's B minor Sonata IS Op.58, NOT 38. His Op.38 is the Ballade No.2 in F. And he did only write 3 solo piano sonatas and 1 Cello Sonata.

well i dont mean to be patronising...but i do have right in front of me his opus.38 piano sonata in b minor, 4 movements, played by Claudio Arrau, released by EMI Records. Im sure such a big label would not make such a big mistake.
and my sight isnt quite that bad
Well then, maybe you would like to take a walk to the nearest cd shop and check out all the cds have has Chopin's B minor Sonata.
Boys & Girls,Ladies & Gentleman...no bickering now,please
Hope this helps.

Of course you were right, I mean you are the Chopin expert..I should put you in contact with an old forums member...he liked Chopin
And I wasn't referring to just you, I was referring to everyone who was in that bickering about opus numbers.

i dont see how i should just accept something just because someone else says its right.
I dont really want to argue...but i WAS staring at a record of "op38" b minor chopin sonata...obviously now its wrong...so what was i supposed to think given that i had the recording in front of me.
Who knows, maybe this recording might be worth something - cant be many of them around!

By the way Nat, bad news....Chopin liked drinking vodka too.
Oh dear!!
Well, there are other little known works such as the Contredanse in G flat, the Trois Ecossaises, the first 2 Polonaises (in B flat and G minor) that were written aged 7, the 19 songs he wrote (Liszt transcribed one of them!) etc

Actually, just looking at the music to this etude, would the nickname derive from the leaps in intervals from 4ths to 8ves?
IrisH - LoonY
You mean like when butterflies fly from flower to flower? Does that seem to remind you of intervals of perfect fourths to octaves?
Well, both intervals are perfect...so maybe..Chopin thought butterflies were perfect...so thats why he named it that.

Yes it is a marvellous work to play! Very rewarding I assume (I've never even dared go near it, 3s vs 4s scare me! Not prepared to do an entire piece of it
)But don't forget the other 3 Impromptus! Especially in F# and G flat. They're very rewarding also!
