Chopin, the Music of Drama
A moment of discovering the very foundation of music, the cry and longing for beauty and truth. The great composers, such as Chopin, represent the most sincere and moving expression of the human experience. A presentation by composer Jonathan FIELDS.
The focus of this presentation is not just musicology or musical history in a strict technical sense. Rather, the emphasis is on discovering the very foundation of music, viewed as the most sincere and moving expression of human experience, of the universal human desire and expectation for beauty, for happiness, for a mysterious Other who will fulfill the promises of the heart. In this sense, the work of the great composers represents a prophecy of the ultimate meaning of human existence and history.
