THE COMPLETE PIANO WORKS OF CHOPIN.
Beginning next season Pietro De Maria will perform the complete piano works of Chopin in concerts to be held in Turin, Florence and Palermo.
He will follow the same criteria Nikita Magaloff adopted when performing the cycle, i.e. the pieces will be grouped in six concerts in chronological order.
The concerts will include all the compositions published during Chopin's lifetime which have an opus number. All the posthumous works and those without an opus number, however, will be recorded for Decca together with the rest.
