Summary/Abstract: A text on Michał Zadara's Chopin Minus the Piano project (GAP Arts Agency, premiere: 23.03.2013 at the J. Słowacki Theater in Krakow), in which the piano part in Chopin's e-minor op. 11 and f-minor op. 21 concerti is replaced by a text read by Barbara Wysocka. Fazan describes Wysocka's impressive, fine-tuned expression, and indicates the many layers of the script, in which a theoretical and musicological lecture is rooted in an experience. Through the introduction of subjects from Chopin's life, it also becomes a staged biography of the artist, contrasted with a national and cultural perspective. The play also includes aspects of a manifesto, seeking to debunk the popular reception of the Romantic artist.
