Frédéric Chopin at 25 (1835) by his fiancée Maria Wodzińska
After the Paris premiere of the Frédéric Chopin Piano Concerto No. 2 (with the himself as the soloist) a critic wrote that while Beethoven may have written music for the piano, Chopin has written music for pianists that will have an influence on piano performance going forward. Filled with opportunities for the soloist to express skillful technique and poetic lyricism, the Piano Concerto No. 2 by Frédéric Chopin is today’s Midday Masterpiece.
