Chopin's first work intended for publication.

Following a four-measure introduction consisting of just two notes, C and G, a lively and light rondo theme appears in C minor. After several developments within C minor, the music arrives at a sweet and gentle theme in E major, contrasting with the rondo theme. This theme then modulates to D-sharp minor, gradually increasing in dramatic intensity, and through a passionate G-sharp minor theme and a flowing A-flat major theme (using enharmonic equivalence), returns to the initial rondo theme.

Subsequently, the aforementioned E major theme modulates to D-flat major, and after further expanded development, including the appearance of long scales spanning a wide range, it returns once more to the final rondo theme, concluding with a short four-measure coda, just like the introduction.

Although there are shortcomings, such as transitions between themes being merely connected by scales, and a lack of ingenuity in their development and repetition, the work incorporates many elements characteristic of piano music and features beautiful melodies throughout, demonstrating Chopin's precocity.

Furthermore, the kind of darkness often found in his later works is almost absent here; instead, there is a brightness and lightness, as if soaring and flying, fully conveying the youthful spirit of Chopin, who was 15 years old at the time of its composition.
