Although Frédéric Chopin is best known for his works for piano solo, among his extant output are 19 songs for voice and piano, set to Polish texts. ==Background== Chopin wrote these songs at various times, from perhaps as early as 1827 when he was 17, to 1847, two years before his death. Only two of them were published in his lifetime (''Życzenie'' and ''Wojak'' were published in Kiev in 1837 and 1839 respectively).〔Kornel Michałowski and Jim Samson. "(Chopin, Fryderyk Franciszek )". ''Grove Music Online. Oxford Music Online''. Retrieved 7 January 2011.〕〔(Jim Samson )〕 In 1857 the 17 then known songs were collected for publication by Julian Fontana as Op. 74, but they were not arranged in chronological order of composition within that opus. Due to censorship restrictions, he was only able to publish 16 of them initially. These appeared in Warsaw as ''Zbiór śpiewów polskich Fryderyka Chopina'' (''A Collection of Polish Songs by Frédéric Chopin''), published by Gebethner & Wolff; and in Berlin as ''16 Polnische Lieder'', published by A M Schlesinger. The 17th song, ''Śpiew z mogiłki'' (''Hymn from the Tomb'') was published separately in Berlin with a French title, ''Chant du tombeau''.〔(Hyperion )〕 A further two songs were published in 1910. Some references now include all 19 published songs in Op. 74. Chopin is known to have written a number of other songs that are now lost. Some extant songs have been attributed to Chopin but are now considered spurious or doubtful. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Polish songs (Chopin)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
