Early works by Chopin – originally written for piano and orchestra
About the event
A concert of early works by Chopin, including op. 2, op. 14 and op. 22, originally composed for piano and orchestra. Since we cannot present these works in their original orchestral version at our concert on 5 September 2020 – the programme unfortunately had to be shortened because of the pandemic – you will hear these three works in their solo piano versions.
