Chopin was only 19 in 1829 when he composed his First Piano Concerto, but his piano writing already carries the exquisitely curlicued melodies and Polish folk influence of his mature style – not least the central Romance with its intent ‘to convey the impression one receives when the eye rests on a beloved landscape that calls up in one’s soul beautiful memories.’ The sparkling finale then nods to a syncopated Polish folk dance, the krakowiak. Dvořák’s Seventh Symphony of 1885 is both uncharacteristically dark, and without his usual Czech-folk-inspired melodies. A commission from London’s Royal Philharmonic Society, to which he had just been elected an honorary member, its Allegro maestoso opens over a tense pedal point and, after much drama, closes in anxious quiet. The following Adagio mostly offers respite from darkness, if not from drama. The Scherzo then throws more turbulence into its dance, before a mighty finale.

English

Si Chopin n’avait que 19 ans en 1829, lorsqu’il composa son Premier Concerto pour piano, son écriture se caractérise déjà par les mélodies délicatement sinueuses et l’influence polonaise du style de la maturité. Tout particulièrement la Romance centrale qui, disait Chopin, « doit produire la même impression que si le regard se reposait sur un paysage devenu cher, qui éveille dans notre âme de beaux souvenirs ». Le Finale étincelant est un clin d’œil au krakowiak, danse polonaise syncopée. Commande de la Royal Philharmonic Society de Londres, dont Dvořák venait d’être élu membre honoraire, la Septième Symphonie de 1885 est singulièrement sombre et dépourvue des références au folklore tchèque dont le compositeur est coutumier. Son Allegro maestoso très dramatique se referme sur un calme inquiet. Le Poco Adagio qui suit apporte un répit dans l’obscurité, sinon dans le drame. Le Scherzo dansant jette plus de turbulence, avant un Finale puissant.
