Most of these were written during his teenage years; while they lack the depth of his later works, they are filled with sweet, lyrical melodies. The Piano Trio was composed when he was 19 and is dedicated to Crown Prince Antoni Radziwiłł of Poznań, a master cellist. The Rondo for Two Pianos was composed when he was 18. It is said that Chopin conceived the idea while spending his summer vacation at a friend’s home. This piece was published posthumously by his friend Fontana. The Variations for Flute were conceived when he was around 14 years old and are based on the aria “Born in Sorrow and Tears” from Rossini’s opera *Cenerentola*. The flute on this recording is played by the virtuoso Bainon—what a treat! The two waltzes and mazurkas were also composed when he was around 18 years old. Slightly melancholic yet sparkling, these pieces capture the essence of the young Chopin’s youth.\nNaxos Japan\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.Rondeau for 2 pianos in C major, Op. 73\u003cbr\u003e2.Variations for flute \u0026amp; piano on 'Non piu mesta' (from Rossini's La Cenerentola in E major, B. 9\u003cbr\u003e3.Valse melancolique in F sharp minor for piano, KK. 1b\/7\u003cbr\u003e4.Mazurka for piano in D major, KK. 4b\/2\u003cbr\u003e5.Piano Trio in G minor, Op. 8: Allegro con fuoco\u003cbr\u003e6.Piano Trio in G minor, Op. 8: Scherzo con moto, ma non troppo\u003cbr\u003e7.Piano Trio in G minor, Op. 8: Adagio sostenuto\u003cbr\u003e8.Piano Trio in G minor, Op. 8: Allegretto\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Naxos","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53595542946081,"sku":"4945604725859","price":2690.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4945604725859.jpg?v=1790481560","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4945604725859","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
