Check out the recording of the Chopin sonata by Steven Isserlis and Diego Varjon. Also has a great Arpeggione sonata on the same record. An unusual performance but worthwhile.
And popping back over to this piece to ask you if (amidst the moving hijinks) you saw NYT’s The Morning feature on the Chopin Waltz discovery!! Incredible!!!
Two very beautiful selections. Thank you!
My pleasure, Anne! Glad you enjoyed. 💙

Thanks for the rec — I’ll check it out!
Both beautiful… and the deaths of the Mendelssohns is just so tragic. I read other family died similarly too.
Agreed — the sight of the siblings' side-by-side graves quickly activates the tear ducts. 💙

Oh my god, yes! Isn’t it incredible?! So much zal oozing from the page. (And I love that the score was found on what’s essentially a note card! 🤣)
First a new Mozart work, now Chopin … who’s next? Don’t things happen in groups of three? 🤞🏻
The notecard SWOON!! Groups of three oh pleeeeaase be true!!
