Interpreted by SOLOMON
Berceuse ; Barcarolle
THE Cradle Song is a little marvel of delicacy and sweetness. On two bass chords only
(with one other chord used for an instant, near the end) Chopin balances a dainty rocking tune, the airiest, sweetest little lullaby imaginable.
Chopin's Barcarolle (the only piece ho wrote in this style) has a good deal of the spirit of his Nocturnes, but is longer than most of those night-pieces.
