This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Comment: The fact that this work exists and is by Chopin does not necessarily mean it is itself intrinsically notable. Cited sources do not confirm WP:SIGCOV. Aside from the AllMusic citation, all are passing mentions; even AllMusic is only a blurb. Is there in-depth and sustained coverage of this particular work available?
