Martin Strauss: Chopin's Preludes - A Mini-Concert | Odd Salon Giving Tuesday
Channel: Odd Salon
Date: 2021-11-30

Frédéric Chopin and George Sand spent the winter of 1838/39 in Majorca, a visit during which Chopin composed his Preludes, and which Sand chronicled in her "Un hiver à Majorque". Odd Salon Fellow Martin Strauss tells this remarkably timely story of respiratory disease, quarantine, and shipping delays, illustrated with excerpts from the Preludes on the piano.
