Episode 5
Donald Macleod concludes a look at Chopin's last years, covering three great works: the Polonaise Fantaisie, the Cello Sonata, and the Barcarolle.
Donald Macleod concludes his exploration of Chopin's extraordinarily creative final years in Nohant.
As his relationship with Sand finally disintegrates, Chopin produces his three final masterpieces: the ultra-modern Polonaise-Fantaisie, the underrated Cello Sonata, and perhaps his most influential work, the Barcarolle.
