Nocturne in e flat minor10/4/2023 ![]() ![]() And so there are a few pieces for cello and piano, and especially this sonata dedicated to Franchomme.Īnd I think what I'd like to do is something strange first, before we hear any of the Chopin, we're going to hear a little bit of music by Franchomme himself. Of course, you know, Chopin died at 39, the same age that Gershwin died. ![]() There's an early piano trio from age 18 that is not very good, primarily because the violin writing is terrible.Īnd then he collaborated with a very, very close friend, Auguste Franchomme, a cellist who taught cello at the conservatoire, and he was Chopin's closest French friend for a great deal of his life. And of course, we know that most of Chopin's music, the vast majority, is just solo piano. It's not being used anymore.īut she was saying he didn't need a saxophone and he didn't need an ophicleide because all he really needed was a piano. An ophicleide is a kind of tuba like instrument that sort of looks like a saxophone mixed with a tuba. And she wrote a lot about Chopin.īut the one thing that I want to quote of hers today is that she said, "Chopin did not need a saxophone or an ophicleide to fill a listener's heart with terror." It's an amazing quote. For nine years, Chopin was the friend and lover, and often cohabitant of Aurore Dupin, much better known as George Sand, the writer. Today we're looking at the slow movement of Chopin's Cello Sonata, Opus 65, the last work published during his lifetime. Hello and welcome again to the Rose Studio for another inside chamber music.
