Download Wiosna - Chopin
Wiosna is the Polish word for spring, and it is also the title of one of Chopin’s songs for voice and piano. It is part of his Op. 74, a collection of 17 Polish songs that he composed between 1829 and 1847.
Wiosna is the first song in the set, and it is based on a poem by Stefan Witwicki, a friend of Chopin. The poem expresses the joy and beauty of spring, and Chopin’s music reflects this with a lively and cheerful melody, accompanied by flowing arpeggios in the piano.
The song has a simple ABA form, with a contrasting middle section in a minor key that evokes a brief moment of sadness or nostalgia. The song ends with a return to the bright and optimistic mood of the beginning.
I hope you enjoy this lovely song by Chopin.
