Historical context
Chopin’s Three Mazurkas, Op. 56 (1844) reflect his mature synthesis of Polish folk elements with sophisticated art music, embodying national pride and introspection during a peaceful period in his life. Schubert’s Piano Sonata in C Minor, D. 958 (1828), composed just months before his death, showcases his profound exploration of fate and struggle, blending Beethovenian drama with his unique lyrical voice. Wanghua Chu’s Jasmine Flower Fantasia (2003) bridges East and West by reimagining the beloved Chinese folk melody “Mo Li Hua” with lush harmonies and virtuosic piano techniques, symbolizing cultural exchange and the enduring beauty of tradition.
