He wrote virtually nothing but piano music, but Chopin is as highly regarded as any composer of the 19th century. His music lies at the very heart of the classical piano repertoire and is beloved across the world.
There are two faces to his music and to his personality. With all its melodic expressiveness and emotional power, underneath the surface Chopin built rock-solid structures that sustain and unify each piece. Likewise Chopin the man combines two national characters that suffuse his personality and his music: the heartfelt longing and heroic dreams of his Polish roots, and the sophistication, logic and brilliance of France, his adopted home.
We will take a look at this fascinating and original man and explore some of his music in more depth. As always, we will avoid technical complexities, so no prior experience or knowledge of music is necessary.
