This panel and recital recreates and contextualizes the atmosphere of the Parisian salons of the 1830s and 1840s, where Frédéric Chopin’s music was often first heard and discussed. Through a combination of commentary and performance, the program examines Chopin’s position as a Polish émigré in Paris and his engagement with the artistic and intellectual circles that shaped his work. The musical selections--mazurkas, songs, and the Polonaise-Fantaisie--collectively portray both the intimate and public dimensions of Chopin’s music within their historical, social, and musical contexts
