Frederic Chopin

Break-neck vocal a cappella version of Chopin's famous "Just A Minute" Waltz

The lull before the storm. The windswept left-hand accompaniment dances up-and-down, fancy-free as the main theme sings so openly and with its beautiful and hymn-like refrain, only to grow into a storm as the mood and key change from major to minor and the texture becomes denser and the tempo gets faster only to come to a cataclysmic end. This is reminiscent of Romeo and Juliet or Tristan and Isolde; the music, as lyrical and beautiful as it is, will always have the undertone of a fatal destiny.

Virtuosic piano playing with invigorating runs to tell of joy. Not a moment to pause in this exhilarating moment of a famed Polish composer at his best. Showcasing brilliance and excitement at once!
