In his catalogue, just a handful of pieces are not conceived for the solo piano (either unaccompanied or with orchestra). In spite of this, his chamber music contains some true gems, which are not as frequently played as they ought to be, and certainly much less performed than his pieces for solo piano. In this repertoire, some of the typical traits of his personality are clearly observed. These include his curiosity towards musical genres that are not exclusively focused on the piano, his openness towards the technical suggestions of the soloists who premiered the pieces in order to make the compositions more idiomatic, his ability to distribute with intelligence the melodic material and to shape a musical work according to the interests of friends. This all has allowed Chopin, defined by many \"the poet of the piano\", to leave an important, albeit limited, mark on the 19th century chamber music repertoire. For this recording, Tatiana Larionova has chosen to play a Pleyel petit patron No. 25667 from 1858 with single escapement action, Duccio Ceccanti plays a violin by Vincenzo Postiglione from 1896 and Marco Decimo a Parisian-built Joseph Charlotte cello from 1830.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41085646930017,"sku":"0746160916385","price":12.51,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_11151617_1515120_20241024110439.jpg?v=1729841372","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/0746160916385-frdric-chopin-chamber-music-on-period-instruments","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
