Rossini’s melody weaves its way through the beginning and end of this concert: Paganini transforms it into virtuosic fireworks, and Martinů recasts it with playful invention and rhythmic zest.
Between these anchors stand Piatti’s spirited Tarantella, Fauré’s lyrical Élégie, and Chopin’s expansive sonata in G minor. Each contributes its own voice, uniting in a program of variety, contrast, and expressive richness.
Venue Note: A gracious home setting where chamber music feels personal and conversational, echoing the 19th-century tradition of salon concerts.
