Piano concerto No. 2 in F minor, Op.21 (1829):
I. Maestoso
II. Larghetto
III. Allegretto vivace
Variations on 'La ci darem la mano' from Mozart's Don Giovanni, Op. 2 (1827)
Rondo a la Krakowiak, Op. 14 (1828)

Fryderyk Chopin was admired by Liszt for his individuality and revolutionary darig, and Schumann was wildly enthusiastic about the F minor Concerto, one of Chopin's earliest works. Despite the concerto's youthful origins this is a novel and brilliant piece, its melodic elegance, harmonic richness and magical Larghetto being a match for most of his later compositions. Chopin's other pieces for piano and orchestra were composed to launch his career as a virtuoso - the Rondo a la Krakowiak contains features a vigorous Polish country dance, and "La ci darem la mano" provides the inspiration for a set of variations on Mozart's famously infectious tune from Don Giovanni.
