Piano Sonata No. 1 (Chopin)
Chopin's first piano sonata, written in 1828 / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Piano Sonata No. 1 in C minor, Op. 4 was written by Frédéric Chopin in 1828 (probably begun around July).[1] It was written during Chopin's time as a student with Józef Elsner, to whom the sonata is dedicated. Despite having a low opus number, the sonata was not published until 1851 by Tobias Haslinger in Vienna, two years after Chopin's death.[2][3] This sonata is considered to be less refined than the later 2 sonatas, and is thus much less frequently performed and recorded.
