📖 Another unique publication has just appeared in the Fryderyk Chopin Institute’s store! “Unfinished Chopin. Allegro de concert Op. 46 – Transcriptions and Transgressions” is monographic volume devoted to what is perhaps the most neglected of Fryderyk Chopin’s works: his purported Third Piano Concerto. Beyond exploring the circumstances of the work’s composition – illuminated by the correspondence of Friederike Müller-Streicher, its dedicatee and a direct witness to the creative process – Professor Maciej Gołąb examines the work’s musical origins and underlying conceptions of genre, traces the course of Chopin’s compositional thinking, and, finally, follows the history of its new incarnations in various transcriptions into the twentieth century. In doing so, he brings te work to the attention not only of Chopin scholars and pianists, but also of readers interested in the creative impulses that shaped the composer’s work. For, as the author observes in his introduction, ‘The Allegro is a mature and substantial composition belonging to the mainstream of Chopin’s output and, for that reason alone, deserves thorough examination within a broad biographical, historical and generic context.’ 🛒 Find it in our online store 👉 http://sklep.nifc.pl 🎥 Recommended by the book’s editor, Sylwia Zabieglińska [🇵🇱 The book is available in Polish only.]
