We expect to be struck and moved by romantic music, and that is precisely what happens with this program. Fanny Mendelssohn demonstrates in a short composition her great ability in writing, so similar (even in the idea of the piano lied) yet different from that of the great Felix. Schubert opens with the dramatic Sonata in A minor, written shortly after the famous Unfinished Symphony, marking the season of his (all too brief) artistic maturity, with a composition that stylistically projects far ahead, characterized by a decidedly symphonic pianism. Chopin, in his final piano works, explores sounds and forms that can no longer be defined as before, inventing with the Polonaise-Fantasia a great heroic poem imbued with melancholy. In the same years, Wagner flees Dresden, and shortly after Liszt conducts the premiere of Lohengrin in Weimar, becoming Wagner’s apostle during his Swiss exile. In his extraordinary work as a popularizer of the music of the future genre, Liszt writes numerous transcriptions and paraphrases of his operatic works, characterized by a respect for the original that Liszt does not always show in other cases. The three proposed female visions are, in the case of Elsa and Senta, almost prophetic images of the hero who can save them (or kill them…), while the grandiose epilogue of Tristan und Isolde sees the latter speaking to her beloved, now dead, in a moment of artistic catharsis perhaps unmatched. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
