| Notes | One of the pleasures of attending a concert is the freedom to lose oneself in listening to the music. Quite often, unconsciously, mental pictures and images form, and the patterns and paths of these reveries are influenced by the music itself, or its program notes, or by the personal dreams, problems and fantasies of the listener. Chopin′s music in particular has been subject to fanciful ″program″ names such as the Butterfly Etude, the Minute Waltz, the Raindrop Prelude, etc.. | ||
