CHOPIN works for solo piano

Tim Horton continues his exploration of Chopin’s central place within the history of the piano.

Tim Horton continues his exploration of Chopin’s central place within the history of the piano. Looking back, Mozart’s improvisational Fantasy in C minor is dramatic in quality and dark in tone. Looking forward, Szymanowski’s dream-like Masques is colourful, hypnotic and capricious. Taking centre stage, Chopin’s innovative four Ballades share noble melodies and dance-like quality to explore the varied colours of the piano.
