Katya Apekisheva - piano

Katya begins with one of Mozart’s most technically challenging, but also most elegant, sonatas. Chopin and his compatriot, Szymanowski, both loved the Polish folk-dance knows as the Mazurka. The latter wrote two sets of twenty; the former wrote around 70 but amazingly only 58 have been published. Katya concludes with a mighty Chopin work, the second Scherzo.
