Chopin the Patriot

Jeffrey Siegel continues his yearlong celebration of Chopin with an exploration of Chopin’s love for his homeland of Poland. In the wake of the November Uprising, as the Polish people revolted against the Russian forces, Chopin emerged as a national bard, writing music honoring his country and the heroism of its people. In this “concert with commentary,” Mr. Siegel performs three Polonaises: the tender G Minor, the brooding C Minor, and the ever popular, heroic A-Flat, as well as several buoyant and poignant Mazurkas.
