List of compositions by Frédéric Chopin by genre

This is a list of compositions by Frederic Chopin by genre. There is a separate list by opus number.
Most of Frederic Chopin's compositions were for solo piano. He also composed piano concertos (his concertos No. 1 and No. 2 are two of the romantic piano concerto repertoire's most often-performed pieces) as well as some other music for ensembles.
This listing uses the traditional opus numbers where they apply; other works are listed by number from the catalogues of Maurice J. E. Brown (B), Krystyna Kobylanska (KK), and Jozef Michal Chominski (A, C, D, E, P, S).

Etudes
Fanciful nicknames have been given to most of Chopin's Etudes from time to time, although Chopin himself never used nicknames for these pieces, and none are authentic. Only about three such nicknames are widely used: Op. 10, No. 5 Black Keys; Op. 10, No. 12 Revolutionary; and Op. 25, No. 11 Winter Wind. A number of occasionally suggested nicknames are shown below.
