    The documentary offers a careful use of the epistolary of the “protagonist”, entrusting to letters written and received by Chopin. The writings are interpreted by the two renowned actors Fabrizio Bentivoglio and Margherita Buy
    Frédéric Chopin (1810-1849) was born in Żelazowa Wola, near Warsaw, in a setting far from the limelight of the great musical tradition, but at the same time he absorbs the winds that blow in from that same tradition. His education is the fruit of Polish culture and cannot be separated from that, but he also feels the influence of the three main cultures of the time: Italian, Austro-German and French.This documentary describes the places that provided the basis for the young composer’s imagination, from the capital Warsaw to rural Poland, where Chopin spends part of his childhood and is formed as a man and a musician, on to Paris, theatre of the second half of the musician’s life.
    The film evokes the atmosphere of the Polish countryside: Żelazowa Wola, Szafarnia, Torun are described through documentary footage that restores the suggestiveness, which is still alive today, of the folklore Chopin was so attached to. Without forgetting, naturally, Warsaw, with the world’s most important piano competition, preserves the memory of one of the most important characters of European culture.

    Truly very well put together. I am a Chopin fanatic and I am very picky about recordings and what people say about him. This is all accurate and clearly a lot of effort has been put into choosing which pieces to play where and I very much so respect the result of those choices. The right recordings of the right pieces were played at the right times.

    I enjoyed this documentary. A number of Chopin documentaries have been produced in the past. This one added new insights on the composers psychological make up ... almost a reinterpretation of the meaning of the composer's music, without invalidating any analysis of the past. I suppose this helps perpetuate classical music in this age of social media and technological advancement. Thank you for this release and looking forward to other releases (with or without the differences and contradictions). 😊✌🏽️

The doctor was called at the theatre but wanted to stay until the show was over. According to Dr. Gunther Duda, Mozart was taken to Schikaneder´s theatre and submerged in lime until his body dissolved. That is why there is no grave. The evil forces that should not be use his skull and bones to this day in wicked rituals. That is the truth. I have heard some Chopin - he copied Mozart, just like his sodomite forerunner, Beethoven.

    Chopin's influences are way more than just Bach, also Moscheles and especially Johann Nepomuk Hummel and his Czech teacher might be a little underrated. The miracle about Chopin imo is the fact that Chopin exercised way less than a Mozart, Beethoven, Liszt etc
    most of them were exercise-workaholics, whereas letters of or for Chopin show that he did not exersise or work that much and Liszt was envious here and then. Liszt even excersised on journeys on a silent keyboard. Great documentary!

    • @Seleuce
      @Seleuce Год назад +3

      Chopin even actively discouraged his pupils to play more than 3 hours per day and take breaks in between to read a good book or walk in the park, enjoy life. He was an extraordinary teacher.
      Having said that, he was, unlike many other musicians, uniquely gifted in dexterity (he learned most of his technical abilities on his own with just some basic support by his music teacher and still was a ready concert pianist at the age of 12). He was also very agile as a child and teen, went ice skating and horse riding, even hunting, was very lissome, hyper flexible, a natural in acting and a great dancer. All signs of exceptional talent for body coordination, which enabled him to become virtuous at the piano with such little daily practice time. Mozart and Beethoven were drilled by their fathers to play (Liszt drilled himself), as was Clara Schumann and countless others. Chopin had the rare, almost one-off fortune to have had incredibly kind and caring parents who supported, yet never exploited him, he was never forced to practice. With lesser a gift than he had he wouldn't have come far as a pianist with such little practice time. He was truly special among the greats.

      Thanks for that explanation, EuroArts. When we upload videoclips and use annotations (which are RUclips's and different from your captions that you do in the video itself), they allow us to change background and foreground colors and font size. It's a loss in this case, since I can't read the captions to understand what is being said. But it's still an intriguing documentary. Thanks again.

How immensely more poetic, free, singing, inspiring, is the playing of Cortot and Michelangeli!
