Piano Concerto no. 1 / Fantaisie op. 49

Album by Fryderyk Chopin & Maria João Pires & Emmanuel Krivine & Chamber Orchestra of Europe

Piano Concerto No. 1 and the Fantaisie in F minor, Op. 49 are works by Frédéric Chopin, composed in 1830 and 1841 respectively. The concerto belongs to the Romantic piano concerto tradition, pairing virtuosic solo writing with orchestral accompaniment and a classical multi-movement design, while the Fantaisie is a free-form single-movement piece that demonstrates Chopin's mature use of chromatic harmony, expansive rubato and richly textured piano writing, reflecting important stages in his development as a composer for the instrument.
