"A barcarola (barcarola Italian) is a folk song sung by Venetian gondoliers, or a musical work written in that style. In classical music, the two most famous are the opera The Tales of Hoffmann by Jacques Offenbach, and the Barcarolle in F sharp major, for piano, Opus 60 Frédéric Chopin.
A barcarola is characterized by a rhythm reminiscent of the gondolier rowing, usually a moderato tempo time signature of 6 / 8. "
