About "Chopin: Mazurka No. 47 in A Minor, Op. Posth. 68 No. 2" by Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli
Chopin's posthumous mazurka becomes a ghost dance in Michelangeli's hands—A minor's melancholy wrapped in a lilting, hesitant step. The pianist teases out the folk inflection without sentimentality, leaving a bittersweet ache that lingers like a footprint in snow.
