THE ROMANTIC PIANO MUSIC OF FRéDéRIC CHOPIN: NOCTURNES, BALLADES, ETUDES, POLONAISES, 24 PRELUDES
by Manuel Ignacio de Íñigo
A whopping 164 minutes (more than 2 1/2 hours!) of supreme romantic piano music by Frédéric Chopin! Included in this bundle are all twenty-four Preludes, all four Ballades and additionally a large number of Nocturnes, Etudes, Polonaises incl. the mesmerizing Polonaise-Fantaisie.
All of Chopin's compositions include the piano. Most are for solo piano, though he also wrote two piano concertos, a few chamber pieces, and some songs to Polish lyrics. His keyboard style is highly individual and often technically demanding; his own performances were noted for their nuance and sensitivity. Chopin invented the concept of the instrumental ballade. His major piano works also include mazurkas, waltzes, nocturnes, polonaises, études, impromptus, scherzos, preludes and sonatas, some published only after his death. Influences on his composition style include Polish folk music, the classical tradition of J. S. Bach, Mozart and Schubert, the music of all of whom he admired, as well as the Paris salons where he was a frequent guest. His innovations in style, musical form, and harmony, and his association of music with nationalism, were influential throughout and after the late Romantic period.
Chopin's music, his status as one of music's earliest superstars, his association (if only indirect) with political insurrection, his love life and his early death have made him a leading symbol of the Romantic era in the public consciousness. His works remain popular, and he has been the subject of numerous films and biographies of varying degrees of historical accuracy.
