作曲家:Frederick Chopin
简介
Chopin's works for solo piano are the foundation of the literature for the instrument, and include a large number of polonaises, scherzos, mazurkas, waltzes, nocturnes and studies. This selection by Zeynep Ucbasaran, performing her ninth CD on the Eroica label, contains two polonaises and five scherzos. There is a very wide and viruosic range in these marvelous piano gems and masterpieces. Chopin's emotions range from elegance to fury, from the unabashed pride in his native Poland, to the bitterness of his inability to return there. Perhaps the music is best described by Frederick Niecks as "Full of conspiracy and sedition. The ill-surpressed murmurs of discontent, which may be compared to ominous growls of a volcano, grow in loudness and intensity, til at last, with a rush and a wild shriek, there follows an explosion!"
