It took place in National Theatre near the Krasiński Square in Warsaw.
The original program:
First part
1.Overture to Leszek Biały, by Józef Elsner
2.Allegro from Piano Concerto in f minor, by Fryderyk Chopin
3.Divertissement for french horn, composed and played by Mr. Goerner (I don’t know who he was, I read the piece possibly was an improvisation)
4.LarghettoandRondo from Piano Concerto in F minor, by Fryderyk Chopin (Larghettowas named Adagio on poster)
Second part
1.Overture to Cecylia Piaseczyńska, by Karol Kurpiński
2.VariationsLa Biandina, by Ferdinardo Paer, performed by Mrs. Mejerowa
3.Fantasy (pot-pourri) on Polish Airs, by Fryderyk Chopin
And here is original poster!
There is a CD with almost the same pieces, played on period instruments. Cecylia Piaseczyńska, which didn’t survived in orchestral version, is replaced by Zamek na Czorsztynie. And of course we don’t find here piece by Mr. Goerner.
You can listen to this CD here, but IMHO better performances of Kurpiński’s and Elsner’s works are on YouTube. Yeah, much better. But anyway, CDs or concerts with historical program are always good idea!
