| |  | Chopin - Etudes Op. 10 & Ballades
The pianistic universe of Chopin is radical, in its harmony, its articulation, its melismata, its phrasing.
This radicality is heard both as expressive violence - Chopin is an extremist - and as a perpetual
interrogation of the foundations of the piano. Its virtuosity is never demonstrative: one always
encounters harmonic problems closely linked to the placing of the hand, in an equilibrium
constantly compromised and immediately restored. Hugues Dufourt. |
