The present selection illustrates two contrasting aspects of Chopin’s poetic nature. With the mazurkas, it is the exile, the nostalgic dreamer revisiting his beloved native Poland irretrievably lost, often speaking softly such are his emotion and sadness; it is the intimate poet talking quietly to himself, the diarist exploring his feelings without witness. With the Sonata Op. 35, it is the romantic artist embracing the human condition and struggling desperately against the elements, against a formidable enemy, against death and nothingness — it is nothing but ‘Rage, rage against the dying of the light’. |
