Piano had grown to 88-keys (Liszt writing for all 88 by 1830s) Double-escapement action (Érard) of 1821 The sustain pedal (right) expanded harmonic and tonal possibilities Composers (esp. Liszt and Chopin) pushed virtuosity to its very limit INNOVATIONS IN PIANO BUILDING

TEw_bSNgJk8qOGRiz0&index=23 PIANO MECHANICS (ACTION)

Chopin in Radziwills Salon (Siemiradzki, Henryk) CHOPIN AND THE SALON

“Chopin, F., third year student, exceptional talent, musical genius.” – high school report card, 1829 (Kornel & Samson) “Hat’s off, gentlemen! A genius.” – Robert Schumann “A genius of the right-hand.” Ferruccio Busoni CHOPIN THE “GENIUS”

“He does not want any posters, he does not want any programs, he does not want a large audience. He does not want anyone to talk about it. He is frightened of so many things that I have suggested to him that he should play without candles or audience on a dumb piano.” – Sand in a letter to a friend (1841) “You cannot imagine a person who can be colder and more indifferent to everything around him….he is polite to excess, and yet there is so much irony, so much spite hidden inside it. Woe betide the person who allows himself to be taken in…he is heavily endowed with wit and common sense, but then he often has wild, unpleasant moments when he is evil and angry, when he breaks chairs and stamps his feet. He can be as petulant as a spoiled child, bullying his pupils and being very cold with his friends. Those are usually days of suffering, physical exhaustion or quarrels with Madame Sand.” – Chopin’s student in a letter to friend GOSSIP ON CHOPIN
