            Chopin Cognac Brown

            “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” reads the biblical passage inscribed on a pillar in Warsaw’s sprawling and ornate baroque Church of the Holy Cross. There, inside a crystal urn filled with alcohol, lies Chopin’s heart, brought home in 1849 – as he had wished – by his elder sister from Paris, where the rest of his remains lie in Paris cemetery. 2020 marks his 210 years’ birth anniversary – “hats off, gentlemen, a genius!”

            Liszt Little Blue

            As a lion of the keyboard and a fledgling composer, Franz Liszt took virtuoso piano technique to its limits with very demanding, physical, and rapid finger passagework. He was renowned for his emotionally charged performances and was known to use his colored hearing in his orchestral compositions. When Liszt was the conductor of an orchestra in Weimar in 1842, he said to the orchestra to play the tone in a little bluer way, ‘O please, gentlemen, a little bluer, if you please! This tone type requires it!’

            Boléro is the world’s most performed work and a timeless hit by Maurice Ravel, the French impressionist composer.
