Julien Brocal (piano)About
Chopin composed both his Preludes, op.28, and the Second Piano Sonata, op.35, in the years 1838–39, which also saw the start of his relationship with the writer George Sand and their infamous winter sojourn in Majorca. A time where the mood changed from happiness to great tension in their relationship, his health worsened, doctors attended him: "One told me I was going to die, the next that I was dying, and the last that I was already dead"; and the weather changed from warm sun to cold, relentless rain. Many changing moods are reflected in the Preludes.
"A sense of poetry, of alternate spontaneity and restraint, a profound understanding of structure and a true awareness of sound… these are some of the rare qualities he demonstrates" - Maria-João Pires
