Abstract

The political and social context of the intellectual climate in the Italian Peninsula in the first seven decades of the 19th century led to the rise of an autonomous type of Romanticism in Europe, some of whose aspects significantly diverged from both the French and German concepts of music. The author examines what factors decided about the in-depth understanding of Chopin’s works, their artistic value and historical significance, among the Italian audience, within the cultural mosaic of a country struggling for independence and unification.
