The Art of Chopin

With this documentary, we pay tribute to Chopin’s art, to his highly original writing, and show how much of a contribution it made to 20th century music and modern-day piano music. To this end, we are combining two approaches: a narrative approach, with a biographical account, which focuses on the composer’s most creative periods, and an analytical approach with first-hand accounts by some of the greatest performers of his works.
Among them: Garrick Ohlsson, Bella Davidovich, Evgeny Kissin, Piotr Anderszewski and Yuja Wang.
The first approach captures Chopin’s genius in his time by evoking his life, his work, his existential concerns and his musical influences.
