Description
"Native of Warsaw..." series is a joint project of the Fryderyk Chopin Institute, International Federation of Chopin Societies and Royal Castle in Warsaw. The project includes a series of recitals, chamber music concerts and lectures, which take place in the Royal Castle from June until December 2003.
The main idea behind the project is to reconstruct the historical sound of the fortepiano that was known to music lovers of the 19th century. Very few people realize how different was the 19th century piano from modern Steinway pianos. In Poland there are only a few 19th century instruments, most of which are museum exhibits impossible to play. The piano owned by the Fryderyk Chopin Institute, manufactured by Erard, famous Parisian company, is not only constructionally identical to instruments known to Frederick Chopin, but is also in perfect technical condition and meets all the requirements of a concert instrument. All concerts take place in intimate interiors similar to those in which concerts were held at the times of Frederick Chopin.
Belongs to: III International Conference "Chopin's Works in the Perspective of Analytical Conceptions"
