No doubt, one of Chopin's most under-appreciated misunderstood works. It shows, upon careful analysis, the mark a true craftsman of music at the peak of his powers. The genius overflows in ways that are not easily discernible to the casual listener. This work (along with the Ballades, the Fantasy in F-minor, the Barcarolle, and of course, the Mazurkas) places Chopin in the ranks of the greatest composers. And Ms. Liu plays it quite beautifully.
