Taught by renowned instructor
Garrick Ohlsson
If it's possible for a single work of Chopin to sit supreme among his countless masterpieces, his Barcarolle in F-sharp major, Op. 60 might be it. Chopin's one and only contribution to this Romantic genre is beloved by concert pianists and audiences alike, and is the favorite piece of Garrick Ohlsson – gold medalist of the 1970 Chopin Competition and one of a small handful of pianists in history to record Chopin's complete works. Ohlsson is your gondolier in this extended, in-depth lesson on the Barcarolle, steering you through its intricate polyphonic waters and basking in its resplendent colors. Approaching the piece from a pianist's point of view, Ohlsson demonstrates the refined tonal control you must achieve to realize the fullness of the work's inner drama, and shows a path towards technical mastery required to pull off Chopin's most inspired, enchanting piece – one of the great works of the Romantic era.
