Barcarolle Op. 60 in F-sharp Major is a piece by Frederic Chopin. It features a sweepingly romantic but sorrowful tone. Most of the technical figure fors the right had are thirds and sixths, while the left features some very long reaches over an octave. There are also some sections of syncopation similar to Chopin's Étude Op. 10 No. 3, "Tristesse".
