Book presentation at Palazzo Sambonifacio

On Monday 23 March 2026 at 18:00, Palazzo Sambonifacio (via Isabella Andreini 4, Padua) hosts Giovanni Bietti for the presentation of his book Fryderyk Chopin. The Music. The meeting is part of the Colloqui di Musica series and combines commentary with live piano excerpts performed by the author.

Giovanni Bietti, pianist and musicologist, offers accessible analyses of Chopin's compositional techniques and inspirations — from the rise of the Romantic piano to Polish folk influences. The event guides listeners through forms such as nocturnes, mazurkas, preludes and waltzes, set within the historical and social framework of the nineteenth century.
