The Coherence of the Form: Fryderyk Chopin, Rondo C Minor Op. 1

Marek Podhajski

This analytical case study presents a basic formal analysis of an independent rondo form in piano repertoire. The author proposes an analytical description consistent with his own theory of rondo form. The emphasis is on highlighting the factors that integrate the rondo form, with reference to the material characteristics of the specific syntax elements, in the context of Fryderyk Chopin’s oeuvre.

Keywords: Chopin Fryderyk, formal integration, piano texture, rondo form
