About this exposition

As solo piano performer with a natural identification and familiarity with romantic repertoire – especially that of Chopin, mastery (and correct application of expressive technique, such as rubato) and the high-level interpretation of this language demand the study of extra-musical assessments. Those include historical accounts – by the composer himself, by his students, music critics, etc, as well as the historical perspective of what other interpreters have done and how did they approach this specific piece. In this sense, I refer to my own definition of tradition (being it what we choose to hand over to the forthcoming generations). It also should be clear that the objective of this process is not reconstructing the interpretation as Chopin himself would have performed it – hence, it is not an historically oriented practice. “Context” refers both to historical and our own, and my objective is to create a new and idiosyncratic performance of this piece.
