Simply Chopin — Jodie DeSalvo's Piano Talks

Event Jodie DeSalvo's Piano Talks Simply Chopin Jodie DeSalvo , piano During his all-too-brief life and career, Polish composer and pianist Frédéric Chopin revolutionized the piano by introducing daring, original harmonies, chromaticism and dissonances that were years ahead of his time. He also redefined the étude as a concert piece; transformed the nocturne, mazurka and waltz into vehicles for intense self-expression; and pioneered new techniques for the seven-octave instrument. For the final Piano Talks performance of the season, Jodie puts her prodigious pianistic abilities to the test, performing a program of Chopin favorites to challenge her, and, like always, delight her legions of fans. This performance is part of Jodie DeSalvo's Piano Talks series.
