The Argentine pianist Ingrid Fliter concludes the autumn season with a concert featuring piano music by Chopin and Schumann, two of the most significant composers from the early Romantic period.

While Chopin primarily composed piano music, Schumann wrote orchestral works and chamber music, among other genres, in his later years.

However, both composers share the characteristic that many of their piano compositions explore the possibilities and limitations of the instrument. This often results in their works demanding great skill from the performer, as exemplified by tonight’s two main pieces.

In Schumann’s Symphonic Etudes, the piano’s possibilities are explored instrumentally through a series of variations primarily based on one theme. On the other hand, Chopin’s third and final sonata follows a well-known four-movement form. It is worth noting that these three sonatas are among the few multi-movement works by Chopin. Most of his compositions are single-movement character pieces, a widely used expressive form in Romantic piano literature and often contained great melodic beauty. The Ballade in F minor, Op. 52, and Nocturne in B major, Op. 9, are beautiful examples.
