1
00:03:44,023 --> 00:03:47,653
Adalbert Dankowski -
Symphony in E-flat major (1788)
2
00:04:30,069 --> 00:04:36,771
Fryderyk Chopin did not hail
from 2 family of great musicians
3
00:04:36,909 --> 00:04:44,909
but from musical folk
who made music at home
4
00:04:47,954 --> 00:04:55,954
There were no radios or records
in those days
5
00:04:58,131 --> 00:05:06,131
Music-making ranged from the humble
home to the salons of the aristocracy
6
00:05:07,106 --> 00:05:13,705
Chopin's mother played the harpsichord
and then the piano
7
00:05:13,846 --> 00:05:21,846
She played when at Zelazowa Wola,
the Skarbek estate
8
00:05:23,323 --> 00:05:30,491
and continued after moving to Warsaw.
9
00:07:16,569 --> 00:07:19,004
Polonaise in G minor (1817)
10
00:11:09,769 --> 00:11:14,104
The teenage Chopin was fascinated
by the outside world
11
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:18,802
He especially wanted to study
the works of other composers
12
00:11:18,944 --> 00:11:23,006
but he read on many subjects
13
00:11:23,149 --> 00:11:27,780
and spent hours in discussion
with friends in Warsaw cafés
14
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,015
His travels during his holidays
were also very significant
15
00:11:31,157 --> 00:11:34,457
As a 14 and 15-year-old
16
00:11:34,593 --> 00:11:41,829
he travelled to the Dobrzyn countryside
to visit his friend Dominik Dziewanowski
17
00:11:41,967 --> 00:11:44,959
There he came into contact
with traditional music,
18
00:11:45,104 --> 00:11:50,008
danced the lively obereks and waltzes,
19
00:11:50,142 --> 00:11:53,043
listened to Jewish orchestras
20
00:11:53,179 --> 00:11:57,582
All of this was very influential
in shaping his character.
21
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,467
Opus 1 - Rondo in C minor (1825)
22
00:13:46,091 --> 00:13:49,959
Sonata in A minor
(Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart 1778)
23
00:14:15,221 --> 00:14:18,680
Polonaise in G-sharp minor (1622)
24
00:18:02,081 --> 00:18:06,348
Opus 72 no.1 - Nocturne in E minor
(1827)
25
00:18:59,338 --> 00:19:05,766
Opus 2 - Variations in B-flat major on La ci
darem la mano from Mozart's Don Giovanni (1827-28)
26
00:22:30,148 --> 00:22:32,947
Opus 14 - Rondo 2 la Krakowiak
in F major (1828)
27
00:24:42,948 --> 00:24:46,009
The Grosse Fuge
(Ludwig van Beethoven, 1825)
28
00:25:33,098 --> 00:25:36,466
Opus 21 - Piano Concerto in F minor
(1829-30)
29
00:25:49,147 --> 00:25:55,519
If you want to understand Chopin
30
00:25:55,654 --> 00:26:01,889
you have to look at the important
works he wrote in Warsaw
31
00:26:02,027 --> 00:26:07,796
These are all the works he wrote
for piano and orchestra
32
00:26:07,933 --> 00:26:15,933
His two piano concertos are,
despite Chopin's youth,
33
00:26:19,811 --> 00:26:22,473
masterpieces.
34
00:26:37,629 --> 00:26:42,089
The F-minor is
my favourite piano concerto
35
00:26:42,968 --> 00:26:47,235
It is connected with my own biography
36
00:26:47,372 --> 00:26:50,398
It was the very first piano
concerto I ever played
37
00:26:51,810 --> 00:26:59,479
My mother still cries
when she listens to it
38
00:27:24,976 --> 00:27:31,040
I've got many good memories
from playing this concerto
39
00:27:32,150 --> 00:27:37,554
I've played it so many times
with different orchestras and conductors
40
00:27:38,790 --> 00:27:41,816
Let me put it this way:
41
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:46,659
It almost feels as if I composed it myself
42
00:27:46,798 --> 00:27:51,702
Don't take it seriously,
but this is how I feel
43
00:27:51,836 --> 00:27:55,602
I quite simply adore
Chopin's Piano concerto in F-minor.
44
00:30:36,100 --> 00:30:39,832
Nocturne no.20 in C-sharp minor (1830)
45
00:34:40,278 --> 00:34:43,270
Opus 11 -
Piano Concerto in E minor (1830)
46
00:43:17,294 --> 00:43:21,822
Opus 22 - Andante spianato and grande
polonaise in E-flat major (1830-34)
47
00:48:09,086 --> 00:48:12,488
Opus 20 - Scherzo no.1 in B minor
(1831-32)
48
00:50:49,813 --> 00:50:51,991
Opus 9 no.2 - Nocturne in E-flat major
(1830-32)
49
00:50:52,015 --> 00:50:52,038
Opus 9 no.2 - Nocturne in E-flat major
(1830-32)
50
00:55:11,908 --> 00:55:14,969
Rakéczy March (Franz Liszt)
51
00:59:51,387 --> 00:59:54,357
Opus 70 no.1 - Waltz in G-flat major
(1832-1833)
52
01:02:17,667 --> 01:02:19,931
Opus 7 no.2 -
Mazurka in A minor (1830-1832)
53
01:05:51,747 --> 01:05:54,444
Opus 53 -
Polonaise in A-flat major (1842)
54
01:06:21,177 --> 01:06:24,772
Without doubt Chopin's music
55
01:06:24,914 --> 01:06:31,251
is the soul of Poland for Polish people
56
01:06:31,387 --> 01:06:35,119
It's in our blood
57
01:06:35,257 --> 01:06:37,248
and nobody can take it away from us
58
01:06:39,628 --> 01:06:44,031
But music is not attached to a country
59
01:06:44,166 --> 01:06:46,260
Therefore you don't have to be Polish
60
01:06:46,402 --> 01:06:48,234
to play Chopin's music well
61
01:06:48,371 --> 01:06:54,242
However, if you are Palish
and you are 3 pianist
62
01:06:58,280 --> 01:07:06,280
it is possible that you will play
Chopin's music more naturally.
63
01:07:19,869 --> 01:07:22,998
Opus 30 no.4 -
Mazurka in C-sharp minor (1836-1837)
64
01:09:17,853 --> 01:09:20,720
Opus 23 - Ballade no.1 in G-minor
(1831-1835)
65
01:14:07,242 --> 01:14:10,906
Opus 27 no.2 - Nocturne in D-flat major
(1835-1836)
66
01:16:47,569 --> 01:16:55,499
George Sand was one of the greatest
female artists of her time
67
01:16:55,644 --> 01:17:01,583
She had a career that lasted 45 years
and had a very large literary output
68
01:17:01,717 --> 01:17:04,448
At the time there were prejudices
and so, as a result,
69
01:17:04,586 --> 01:17:09,422
for women who wanted to get published
the use of an assumed name
70
01:17:09,558 --> 01:17:12,687
or even anonymity was quite common
71
01:17:12,828 --> 01:17:15,627
She applied for a judicial separation
from her husband
72
01:17:15,764 --> 01:17:18,461
That didn't happen very often either
73
01:17:18,600 --> 01:17:23,595
She was a woman
who loved in a rather free way
74
01:17:24,206 --> 01:17:25,640
George Sand had two children
75
01:17:25,774 --> 01:17:31,406
Chopin's relationship with George Sand's
children was different for each child
76
01:17:31,546 --> 01:17:34,880
He didn't seem to be very
close to Maurice
77
01:17:35,017 --> 01:17:36,815
They didn't have much in common
78
01:17:36,952 --> 01:17:39,751
On the other hand,
he was much closer to Solange
79
01:17:39,888 --> 01:17:42,152
Solange was a musician,
she played piano,
80
01:17:42,290 --> 01:17:48,491
so they had much more of a bond
than Chopin ever had with Maurice
81
01:17:48,630 --> 01:17:52,498
George Sand had a large income
which came mainly from her writing
82
01:17:52,634 --> 01:17:55,296
She was one of highest paid authors
of her generation
83
01:17:55,437 --> 01:17:59,271
She was very well paid,
far better paid than Chopin.
84
01:18:14,756 --> 01:18:16,850
Opus 28 no.15 - Prelude in D-flat major
(1838)
85
01:19:13,515 --> 01:19:15,574
Opus 33 no.3 - Mazurka in C major
(1838)
86
01:19:43,178 --> 01:19:45,704
Opus 33 no.4 - Mazurka in B minor
(1838)
87
01:21:00,622 --> 01:21:03,614
They came here because
that was their way of life
88
01:21:03,758 --> 01:21:07,717
They were in Paris in the autumn,
winter and beginning of spring
89
01:21:07,863 --> 01:21:11,959
because that was the artistic season
90
01:21:12,100 --> 01:21:15,092
You couldn't miss anything important,
91
01:21:15,237 --> 01:21:19,196
especially if you were George Sand
or Fryderyk Chopin
92
01:21:19,341 --> 01:21:25,508
Chopin gave piano lessons daily to
an extremely privileged Parisian clientele
93
01:21:25,647 --> 01:21:27,843
It was a vital source of income
94
01:21:27,983 --> 01:21:31,510
He couldn't be anywhere other than Paris
during those winter months
95
01:21:32,587 --> 01:21:35,249
On the other hand she couldn't
live without Nohant
96
01:21:35,390 --> 01:21:39,054
So when things quietened down in Paris
97
01:21:39,194 --> 01:21:41,424
they made their way here, often by train
98
01:21:41,563 --> 01:21:45,796
They would stay for five or six months,
99
01:21:45,934 --> 01:21:47,959
for as long as the countryside
was beautiful,
100
01:21:48,103 --> 01:21:52,199
for as long as the days were long.
101
01:24:18,086 --> 01:24:21,147

(1843-44)

110
01:48:02,742 --> 01:48:05,234
