Fugue, A minor, 1841
Even though Chopin always gave the highest appreciation to Bach, he did not devote to this classical form without any modification. Chopin did not have a fugue part after each prelude in his series of preludes Op.28. This unique Fugue has two voices. Unlike Schumann or Mendelssohn who was obsessed with fugue usage in piano quintets and symphonies, Chopin attempted this only fugue to pay homage to Bach, not to promote or develop it into another stage. However, Chopin's fugue was less structured and more melodic like in Mendelssohn's and other post-classical's fugues.
Funeral March, C minor, Op. 72 no 2, 1826-29
