Frederic Chopin - 'Frycek', used among his family and friends, or 'Chip-Chip' which was George Sand's nickname for him - is the Romantic era personified. Like a magician he appears possessed of the secret to transfigure whatever he touches into some weird crystal, convincing in its confirmation, transparent in its eccentricity, of which no duplicate is possible, no imitation desirable. This perfectly illustrates the three Nocturnes, orginally written for piano, presented here.
