Frédéric Chopin Gagliano Franz Liszt Staple 2020
FRÉDÉRIC CHOPIN Sonata No. 2 in B-flat minor, Op. 35 Avery Gagliano, piano Performed on Wednesday, February 5, 2020 Field Concert Hall, Curtis Institute of Music, Philadelphia Frédéric Chopin wrote his second piano sonata in his late twenties. Born in Poland, Chopin was a child prodigy, wrote primarily for solo piano, and built a solid reputation during his short life as a leading composer of the Romantic era. This sonata became a quick favorite among the public. Particularly, the “Marche funèbre” (“Funeral March”) instantly captivated audiences. Franz Liszt, a friend of Chopin, called it a movement “of such penetrating sweetness that we can scarcely deem it of this earth.” It was performed at Chopin’s funeral, and has also been a part of the funerals of Winston Churchill, John F. Kennedy, and Margaret Thatcher. The sonata immediately grabs attention in the its first movement (Grave) with slow, dramatic octaves, foreshadowing the weight of emotion to come. The movement quickly shifts into double time, introducing the first theme with a constant stream of notes. A serene second theme provides relief, and Chopin continues to develop this movement until it concludes with three very loud, fortississimo B-flat major chords. The Scherzo’s whirlwind of octaves, chromatics, and leaping chords gives way to sublime beauty in its middle section. The Funeral March, composed two years before the rest of the sonata, displays a dramatic character ranging from deep tragedy to heartbreaking beauty. The finale (Presto) ushers in a flurry of octaves, sweeping over the keyboard in a technical feat until the B-flat minor chord of its final destination. This sonata has long been a staple of the piano repertoire and is frequently performed in concert halls and piano competitions. Just this past month, Curtis student Avery Gagliano won first prize at the National Chopin Competition and, in preparation, performed this sonata as a part of the Curtis Student Recital Series. —Hannah Horine Learn more about this work: (http•••) #CurtisIsHere Have you been following Curtis Is Here?

Frederic Chopin inspirierte einige Künstlergenerationen zu (meist recht kitschigen) Gemälden und Gedichten. Der berühmte polnische Dichter Kornel Ujejski +••.••(...)) schrieb unter anderem Marsz Pogrzebowy ("Trauermarsch") nach dem Trauermarsch aus der b-Moll Klaviersonate op. 35. Der Liszt Schüler Richard Burmeister bearbeitete eine deutsche Übersetzung des Gedichts für melodramatischen Vortrag (herausgegeben 1908), die ich hier gleichzeitig spiele und rezitiere. Taipei, 2018. Das Gedicht inspirierte wiederum ein Gemälde, Marsz Żałobny Chopina ("Chopins Trauermarsch") von Władysław Podkowiński, gestorben 1895. Der Ausschnitt einer Kopie davon ist zu Beginn des Videos zu sehen.

Three 20th-century masters, painting glittering rainbows of colours with two pianos. Composer: Benjamin Britten, Claude Debussy, Francis Poulenc Artists: Mattia Ometto (piano), Leonora Armellini (piano), Orchestra di Padova e del Veneto, Luigi Piovano (conductor) Online purchase and streaming: (http•••) For more information: (http•••) From Javanese gamelan to Mozart, from nursery rhymes to passionate outbursts, from primitive percussion to the café chantant, Francis Poulenc gathered up almost all the formative influences on his style in his Concerto for Two Pianos of 1932. Aside from Mozart, there is also an evident allusion to Ravel, in particular to the two piano concertos, which were published and performed in the same year. Yet the originality of the concerto is never in doubt; the deep feeling and light touch of the central Larghetto bear Poulenc’s fingerprints as clearly as the final gallop home. Much less familiar is the Scottish Ballad composed in 1941 by Benjamin Britten as a free fantasy for two pianos and orchestra based on a number of Scottish tunes, including 'Dundee', 'Turn Ye to Me' and 'Flowers of the Forest'. A lamenting funeral march is followed by a flamboyant Highland fling, in which Britten parodies ‘Scottish’ music in a display piece of great wit and vitality. This unique compilation concludes with a two-piano piece in which the orchestra is ‘silent’: the Premiere Suite written with orchestra in mind by Debussy in his early 20s. However, the orchestral score was lost for many years – even this two-piano version was only published in 2008 – and its four movements show Debussy’s language in the act of formation: unmistakably French, and harmonically novel for its time, but still working in self-contained forms – a toccata, a ballet, a shimmering nocturne and a tumultuous final bacchanale. The soloists here are a pair of experienced performers and teachers. Having won several Italian piano competitions, Leonora Armellini appeared at the Projetto Martha Argerich in Lugano and has played chamber music with the likes of Lilya Zilberstein and the cellist Mario Brunello. The author of a popular book introducing classical music to younger audiences, she is joined here by the Padovan born Mattia Ometto, a pupil of Aldo Ciccolini and Earl Wild who has given concerts at Carnegie Hall and recorded with Leslie Howard: a Brilliant Classics album of the symphonic poems in transcription (95748) which attracted enthusiastic reviews: ‘Leslie Howard and Mattia Ometto navigate Liszt’s technical challenges with fluency and ease, but they also treat the scores seriously, playing for effect only when necessary, achieving impressive unanimity and long-lined shape.’ (Classics Today) Track list: 00:00:00 Francis Poulenc: Concerto in D Minor, FP 61: I.
