Hidden Scars

Despair

SCARBOROUGH FAIR

Scarborough Fair

Get ready for Chopin's 3rd Ballade, Op. 47, a sunny and optimistic tale with a side of dance and mischief. It's like a feel-good movie compared to the darker, stormier siblings in the Ballade family.

Featuring two main themes that play "opposites attract," our first melody soars sky-high, before echoing left-hand responses. Then, a burst of celebratory arpeggios adds some fireworks. The second theme? A flirty dance number, dipping into minor keys but never fully embracing tragedy.

Watch as the dancelike theme gets all dressed up, while the first remains elegantly unchanging. And let's not forget the flamboyant, keyboard-spanning joyride in between.

Written in 1841, the 3rd Ballade proves that Chopin's final decade was nothing short of musical genius. We might never know the exact story behind this lyrical piece, but its narrative roots and natural flow make it the most romantic of the set.

So, sit back and enjoy this delightful Chopin adventure, where epic narration meets warm-hearted charm, and let your imagination fill in the blanks! 🎹📖💃🌞

Sergej Rachmaninoff/Sonata No. 1 in d minor Op. 28
Franz Listz/Sonata in B minor S 178

Stress the Faustian elements in Liszt’s B minor Sonata and Rachmaninoff’s Piano Sonata No. 1 in D minor. This is the premise followed uncompromisingly by the young Georgian pianist in this recording, and she is astounding with a sometimes Mephistophelian-sounding performance. The atmospheric images drawn by the musician, who has been awarded many international prizes and scholarships, represent in exemplary fashion the partly hidden and not programmatic, but allegorical features of Faust, Gretchen and Mephistopheles, three of the figures most frequently portrayed in literature and music.
