Detailed itineraries of events in each port will follow, but you’d better plan your free time with us today!
Europe was Chopin’s world. Although in moments of anguish he seriously considered the possibility of emigrating to America, he remained in Paris for the rest of his life. Chopin’s art had its origins in Polish musical traditions but its roots went deeper, to the works of Europe’s greatest masters of past eras. He admired the genius of Bach and Mozart and thought highly of the monumental works of Beethoven and Handel. In his teens Chopin developed a fascination for the virtuoso style called brillant, which reigned supreme in European piano playing at that time. The performances in Warsaw of the phenomenal Italian violinist Niccolò Paganini enraptured Chopin and inspired him to write his first etude cycle, which is a musical masterpiece. Also Chopin’s famous legato, a singing style of playing, had its roots in the Italian opera style of bel canto.
