Sonata in B minor, Op. 58Fryderyk Chopin (1810 - 1849)2512:13
        I. Allegro Maestoso / II. Scherzo: Molto vivace / III. Largo / IV. Finale: Presto non tanto
Hannah Shin, Piano
Chopin's third sonata shows the essence of Romantic music. The opening movement begins with an exceptionally strong and resolute theme. The lyrical counter-theme is a manifestation of beauty, expressed with simplicity, but also with poetical elation. The development adopts the tone and character of a ballade. The second movement brings a breath from another world, with a trio section like a nostalgic echo from a world that has passed. The third movement has the shape and character of a nocturne, an aria of the night. The frenzied, electrifying finale has the tone and spirit of a ballade.
