A music curator from the Morgan Library and Museum in New York has recently found an unpublished score attributed to Chopin and examined by experts who have verified the authenticity of the manuscript reappeared two hundred years after the death of the great Polish composer.
In the interpretation of this new musical pearl, Silvano Giuseppe Bernasconi highlights the boldness of the movement and the allusions to the Mazurka as often seen in the Waltzes and works of Frédéric Chopin who avoids the style of the salon Waltz expressing his own feeling.
Already Franz Schubert in his Valses nobles, then Fernando Sor and Carl Maria von Weber in his famous Invitation to the Dance, composed in 1819 then transcribed for Orchestra by Berlioz that inspired him Le Bal from his Symphonie Fantastique ad inserted intimate phrases between the brilliant parts of the dance often echoing the Ländler but in Chopin also in the works discovered after his death and published posthumously emerge pages of full Romanticism.
Two Waltzes in A minor composed in his youth by Silvano Giuseppe Bernasconi in the style of Chopin conclude this first part: a brilliant Waltz and a slow Waltz “ma première Valse” improvised and written at seventeen.
