there is MUSIC. With Chopin's most beautiful music played live Monsieur Chopin
features the romantic story and music of the Polish pianist-composer Fryderyk
Chopin, set in Chopin\u2019s Parisian salon where he will
teach a piano lesson that actually took place in March 1848, just
days after the February 1848 revolution. As the piano lesson
unfolds, Chopin reveals secrets about the art of the piano and
composition, as well as secrets about himself. Hershey Felder delves deep
into the music and psyche of the man, considered by his
contemporaries, and now by history, as the true \u201cPoet of the Piano\u201d.
In Monsieur Chopin, Hershey features some of the pianist-composer\u2019s
most beautiful and enduring music while entertaining us in his unique and
theatrical style.\u201d</p>
