Four years on from the Mozart 250th birthday anniversary in 2006 we celebrate the 200th anniversary of Chopin’s birth in 2010. Though different in the scale of their output, Chopin can be compared to Mozart as one of the finest and most prolific composer of tunes.
But can you name them like you can many of Mozart’s. It’s difficult because they don’t have names as many of Mozart’s operatic arias did. With a few notable exceptions, many of Chopin’s gorgeous tunes slumber in the relative anonymity of the classification by genre – polonaise, mazurka, waltz and so on. A number in a filing cabinet.
Four years on from Mozart year 2006 two developments in particular in the way users interact with the internet allow us to surface all these tunes. The first is the explosion of social interaction and user-generated content. The second is the new experimental climate around gratis full track streaming. Our coming Chopin site, making full use of these developments, will run under the motto: “Listen, Compare & Participate.”
That motto is the subject of our next blog in a couple of days.
