The Polish Masters and Schumann May 22, 2010

Chopin’s Piano Concerto No. 2 is fi lled with delicate
and poignant melodies, reminiscent of his famous
mazurkas and other Polish folk dances. Ignacy
Jan Paderewski, a brilliant pianist, composer and
statesman, reveals the infl uence of Chopin in his
concerto, which overfl ows with charming melodies
and bravura passages.
