Chopin - Variations Brillantes Op.12 in B flat major

Jinsang Lee Joy of Music Festival, 13 Oct 2009 - City Hall, Hong Kong Piano: The replica 1836 "No.1" Piano, provided by Steinway at Tom Lee "The Steinway No.1 Piano (212 cm long) was built by Heinrich Engelhard Steinway in his small kitchen in Seesen, Germany in 1836 and it was his first piano and it was later named the "Kitchen piano". this instrument must have been the best piano at that time and it made a milestone in the history of piano design and a legend for Steinway & Sons in the piano construction over 170 years. The original one is now on display at the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art. In 2004 Heinrich Engelhard's great grandson, Henry Z.Steinway gave permission to the Belgian master piano builder and restorer, Chris Maene, to create an exact replica of the original Steinway No.1. Chris Maene adhered to the designs of the original. He created a replica which is authentic both technically and in terms of appearance. The replica made its debut when it appeared in a piano recital at Bruges Concert Hall in 2006." Frederic Chopin - Variations brillantes, Op.12 in B flat major "Chopin's Variations Brillantes Op.12 is based on the aria 'Je vends des scapulaires' from Ferdinand Herold's now forgotten comic opera 'Ludovic'. The work opens in a flourish with an elaborate introduction before the theme and variations proper. Typical of his earlier style which reflected much of the early Romantics, it is full of embellishments and generally frothily florid keyboard writing. Generally considered frivolous and superfluous by today's listeners, it nontheless represented a certain zeitgeist, one that established Chopin as the darling of Parisian salons." - From the CD "Hiller - Mendelssohn - Chopin: Making Music Among Friends" by The Alpha Omega Sound
