I chose a dozen works; twelve of his jewels that represent different stages of his life and that each hold a particular significance for me. I open up this album with the First Impromptu, the first of Chopin's works I was to learn as a young teenager. The album closes with the first piece by Chopin that I heard as a toddler: my mother often played the Waltz, opus 64 no. 1, at home on our dark brown Rippen piano. My mother, who was always so closely involved and supportive from the first time I reached up to the piano as a young girl until my last concert before her untimely death last April.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Lestari Scholtes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41155412361287,"sku":"44564230","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/4365234-3225892_fe4c06de-66d1-4b7b-ac9e-61b702819be0.jpg?v=1726919745","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/chopin-scholtes-chopin-a-private-story-piano-works","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
