Chopin
Berceuse, Op. 57
"A mesmerising lullaby built on a single, continuous hypnotic bass line."
Archival Record & Lore
Composed in 1844, this lullaby is a masterpiece of variation form. Chopin weaves incredibly intricate, filigree ornamentation over a repetitive, hypnotic bass ostinato that rocks gently back and forth, never breaking its mesmerising spell.
