Rondo à la Krakowiak (Chopin)

Frédéric Chopin's Rondo à la Krakowiak in F major, Op. 14 is a composition for piano and orchestra. It was written in 1828. The piece begins with a soft, pentatonic melody before rushing into a more lively, syncopated dance.

The Rondo à la Krakowiak was written in Warsaw in 1828, under the guidance of Józef Elsner. It has received a number of recordings but still remains less known than most of Chopin's other works.

Chopin quotes Niccolò Paganini's Caprice No. 24 during this work, and includes a variation on the quotation.
