"Out of My Sight!, Op. 74/6" is a solo piano piece composed by Frédéric Chopin. It was composed in 1846, during the later years of Chopin's life. The piece was premiered in Paris in the same year. The piece is part of Chopin's set of six pieces, known as the "Six Chants Polonais," or "Six Polish Songs." Each piece in the set is based on a Polish folk song, and "Out of My Sight!" is based on the song "Wojak" (The Warrior). The piece is in the key of A-flat major and is marked "Allegretto" in tempo. It is a relatively short piece, lasting only about two minutes. The piece is characterized by its gentle, flowing melody and delicate ornamentation. The left hand provides a simple accompaniment, while the right hand carries the melody. The piece is divided into two main sections, with a brief transition between them. The first section features the main melody, which is introduced in the right hand. The left hand provides a simple accompaniment, consisting of broken chords. The melody is then repeated, with some slight variations and ornamentation. The second section features a new melody, which is introduced in the left hand. The right hand provides a delicate accompaniment, consisting of arpeggios and trills. The melody is then repeated, with some slight variations and ornamentation. Overall, "Out of My Sight!, Op. 74/6" is a charming and delicate piece, which showcases Chopin's skill as a composer of lyrical melodies. It is a relatively simple piece, but it is full of subtle nuances and delicate ornamentation, which make it a joy to listen to.
