Monday Enrichment - Fryderyk Chopin's Revolution at the Piano
David Kasunic is a Professor of Musicology at Occidental College in Los Angeles, California, and the Director of its John Branca Institute for Music. He is the author of many articles and book chapters on Chopin, most recently on the influence of Meyerbeer’s ballet music on Chopin’s Parisian waltzes and on the phenomenon of tubercular singing, which examines the relationship between early nineteenth-century diagnostic pathology and music analysis. Forthcoming are articles on Chopin and philosophy and on Robert Schumann’s reception of Chopin, as well as the Chopin chapter for the Oxford Handbook on Musical Variation.
