''Le chemin de fer'' (French for "the railway"), Op. 27, is a programmatic étude for piano composed by Charles-Valentin Alkan in 1844, frequently cited as the first musical representation of a railway. It is a ''perpetuum mobile'' composition at an extremely fast tempo, in D minor,〔 and performance at tempo lasts approximately five minutes. == Composition ==
The composition is marked ''vivacissimamente'' (extremely brisk, from ''vivace''), 112 half notes per minute. The first theme is sixteenth notes accompanied by a repetitive ostinato bass in eighth notes, illustrating the fleeting steam locomotive.〔 The second is a more lightweight melody in the submediant major, B-flat major, still comprising just sixteenth notes, which depicts the happy journey of the passengers. The only respite from the torrent comes at the coda, in which the note durations lengthen and the piece comes to a close, portraying the train pulling into a station.〔 The piece's length, in printing (506 measures), not performance (5 minutes), is humorously referred to as describing a very long trip.
