"Fantaisie in F minor (Chopin) Frédéric Chopin's Fantaisie in F minor, Op. 49, is a single-movement work for the piano, composed in 1841, when he was 31 years old. From Chopin's letters it is known that he used the name ""fantasy"" to show some sort of freedom from rules and give a Romantic expression. Frédéric Chopin continued the tradition of a self-contained movement in his Fantaisie. This Fantaisie is one of Chopin's longest and greatest works. Only his Polonaise-Fantaisie, sonatas, and piano concertos are longer. This work belongs to the Fantasy form, a composition free in form and inspiration. It"

Asked whether it is possible to diagnose psychiatric conditions in deceased composers, Kogan responds: Kogan points out that a number of famous composers have suffered from mental problems that seem to have both enriched and complicated their music, and certainly complicated their lives. Prominent among them have been: Ludwig van Beethoven (1770–1827): His hearing loss and syphilis may have induced psychosis. Frédéric Chopin (1810–49): In self-imposed exile from his beloved occupied Poland; suffering evidently from tuberculosis that caused enervation,"

Both Graf and his rival Matthäus Andreas Stein offered Chopin an instrument to use. Chopin, who was familiar with foreign pianos, unhesitatingly selected the Graf, and his Vienna concerts were a success. According to Goldberg, Chopin continued to ""cherish"" Graf instruments during his subsequent career in Paris.

They are considered to be some of the most challenging pieces in the standard piano repertoire.
