Program Notes Frédéric Chopin, Poland’s great Romantic composer, specialized in works for the piano. After studying piano and composition at the Warsaw Conservatory, he left his native country to compose and concertize in Paris. The post-Beethoven 1830s spawned new artists and composers throughout Europe. Chopin’s expressive waltzes, mazurkas, polonaises, preludes, ballades, and nocturnes captured the imagination of audiences and composers throughout the continent, opening the door to professional relationships with Hector Berlioz, Robert Schumann, opera composer Vincenzo Bellini, and, perhaps the greatest pianist to date, Franz Liszt.
Performance Notes The companion to the famous Minute Waltz (Op. 64, No. 1), this Waltz in C-Sharp Minor is one of the gems of the repertoire. Be sure to create tasteful contrasts between sections: the beginning elegant and stately, the eighth note section running and whirling, the interlude slower and serving as a suitable setup for the final flurry and delicate finish. Provide an assuring downbeat pulse, keep a forward motion, and let your mallets “dance!”
