专辑介绍

The greater part of Chopin's music was written for his own instrument, thepiano. At first it seemed that works for piano and orchestra would be anecessary part of his stock-in-trade, but the position he found for himself inParis enabled him to write principally for the piano alone, in a characteristicidiom that derives some inspiration from contemporary Italian opera, much fromthe music of Poland, and still more from his own adventurous approach to harmonyand his own sheer technical ability as a player.

Among the compositions of Chopin for instruments other than the piano arethree works for cello and piano. The most substantial of these is the Sonatain G minor, Opus 65, written in Paris in 1845 and 1846. It was dedicated tohis friend, the cellist Auguste Franchomme, and the last three movements wereplayed in 1848 by Franchomme and Chopin at the latter's last concert. The firstmovement, marked Allegro moderato, starts with the first phrase of thefirst subject, played by the piano and then taken up and extended by the cello.

There is a B flat major second subject and this leads, after a closing passage,to the central development, which opens with a reference to the principal themeand continues with delicate exploration of other keys and an abridgedrecapitulation. The D minor Scherzo allows the cello the opening melody,before a more equitable division of labour. To this the D major trio sectionacts as a foil, with the cello now enjoying melodic prominence, before thereturn of the scherzo. There is a shift of key to B flat major for the slowmovement Largo, opening with a singing cello melody, taken up gently bythe piano. The last movement opens dramatically enough, the piano theme taken upby the cello, which later introduces the contrasting second subject, presentedsimply enough at first, before being offered in a varied form, with cellodouble-stopping and allowing, from the piano, a resumption of the tarantellarhythm that dominates the movement, gathering energy as the end approaches. Thepiano writing is characteristic throughout, but the voice of the cello remainsclearly differentiated.

The first work for cello and piano in order of composition, the Polonaisebrillante in C major, Opus 3, was written in 1829 and 1830 and published thefollowing year in Vienna. Chopin had received encouragement from Prince AntoineRadziwill and it was during a visit to his estate in the autumn of 1829 that hewrote the Polonaise to which he later added an Introduction. In aletter to his friend Titus Woyciechowski he described it as a brilliantdrawing-room piece suitable for the ladies and designed for the Prince'sdaughter, Princess Wanda, Chopin's pupil, who played it with her father, whoplayed the cello. The published work was dedicated to the Warsaw cellist JosephMerk. The Introduction, marked Lento, opens with a piano flourish,after which the cello introduces part of an expressive melody, interrupted bythe piano. The cello resumes, leading to the principal theme of the Introduction.

The music moves dramatically into the minor and the section ends with acadenza, in the edition by Emanuel Feuermann entrusted to the cello. The AllaPolacca, better suited, perhaps, to the abilities of the Radziwills, allowsthe cello the first attempt at the polonaise theme, which is then taken up bythe piano. Again, in the present edition
