Chopin - Piano Sonata No. 2 Bb Minor, Opus 35, Mov 1

Loading

In this famous piece, you will hear a musical and technical ideal far removed from cloying decadence or excess. Funeral march reflected the musician’s deeply sad mood following the breaking of the engagement with Maria Wodzińska. When he then went to the island of Majorca at the end of 1838, he began to write a piece, Grave, which will later be the first movement of the sonata, and a Presto which will be the finale; this time in composing Chopin was influenced by the worsening of his illness and influenced by the gloomy ruins and cemetery of the Certosa di Valldemossa, certainly not cheerful visions in the pouring rain that gave no respite. The Scherzo was instead conceived when the musician returned to Nohant in the second part of 1839.
