“I
claim to have found a fresh and original approach to the musical
interpretation of [Chopin's Third Piano Sonata] that, I believe, may
make its inner beauties more accessible to the listener. I also claim
that it restores integrity to the sonata, especially the first
movement, of a kind that is sometimes lacking in standard
interpretations. ”
— Brian Chapman
