Piano notes. Frédéric Chopin (1810-1849)
Description
Ronald Brautigam, internationally respected musician, remarkable not only for his virtuosity and musicality but also for the eclectic nature of his musical interests, presents a history of piano music. Brautigam discusses and performs a specific piano piece from composers including Scarlatti, JS Bach, Haydn, Mendelssohn, Mozart, Beethoven and Chopin. In each film he demonstrates not only his skill as a pianist but his insightful and humorous knowledge of musical history. 'An absolutely instinctive Mozartian ... with melodic playing of consummate beauty' International Record Review. 'Brautigam uses many an artistic trick without ever seeming to be trying at all.' Music Web. Directed by award-winning film-maker Phil Grabsky.
