Description
The piano concerts by candle glow are dedicated to the outstanding and most popular Polish composer – Fryderyk Chopin. His works are recognized all over the world, and his name ranks among the greatest composers of all time. Chopin’s compositions are considered some of the most beautiful piano pieces in the history of music.
In addition to selected works by Chopin, the program also includes the most remarkable piano compositions by world-renowned composers such as Bach, Beethoven, Liszt, Schumann, and Rachmaninoff.
