List of compositions by Frédéric Chopin.

By Instrumentation

Solo Piano
* 4 ballades * 1 barcarolle * 1 berceuse * 1 bolero * 2 bourree bourrées * 3 ecossaise écossaises * 27 etude études * 3 fantaisies (1 if you exclude the Fantaisie-Impromptu and the Polonaise-Fantaisie) * 1 fugue * 4 impromptus (3 if you exclude the Fantaisie-Impromptu) * 58 mazurkas * 21 nocturnes * 17 polonaises (15 if you exclude the Polonaise-Fantaisie and the curious hybrid piece containing a section for piano solo (''Andante spianato''), and a section for piano and orchestra (''Grande Polonaise brillante''). The piano part of the second section can also be played as a solo, thus fitting into this category. The same piano part can also be played with the Andante spianato preceding it, making it as hard to classify as the Polonaise-Fantaisie and the 'Fantaisie-Impromptu'.) * 28 prelude (music) préludes, one of which, No. 20 in C minor, was adapted by Barry Manilow as the basis for his hit pop recording "Could it be Magic" in 1975. No. 4 in E minor was adapted as the basis for Jane Birkin's "Jane B" in 1970. * 4 scherzos * 3 sonata (music) sonatas * 19 waltzes (see list of waltzes by Chopin)

Piano and Orchestra
* 2 piano concertos * 4 other works — Variations on ''Là ci darem la mano''; ''Krakowiak''; ''Grande Fantaisie on Polish Airs''; ''Andante spianato and Grande Polonaise brillante'' (but see above for categorization comments)

Voice
* 20 songs to Polish words, for voice and piano

Chamber Works
* 1 piano trio for violin, cello and piano * 1 sonata (music) sonata for cello and piano * 2 other works for cello and piano
