This engaging and musically rich course traces the evolution of the piano repertoire through the works and lives of some of its greatest champions. We’ll begin by revisiting the poetic brilliance of Frédéric Chopin, building on last year’s exploration of his lyrical, emotionally charged works. From there, we journey through the sparkling elegance of Felix Mendelssohn, the passionate intensity of Robert Schumann, the sweeping Romanticism of Johannes Brahms, and the impressionistic colors and innovations of Claude Debussy. Through listening, discussion, and historical context, we’ll explore how each of these composers pushed the boundaries of piano music.
