Krystian Zimerman Chopin - Grande polonaise brillante Op.22, Chopin Pian...
The International Chopin Piano Competition 1975
you were seized by a special gift
success was your destiny
your arrival on the concert platform was welcomed
a young angelic face with fingers that danced across the keyboard
with ease like water in a stream gathering momentum
into a fierce current of polish passion
your pursuit of excellence overwhelming talent
stood you apart from the others in the competition
at 18 your career was launched your fate sealed
they say you are one of our greatest living pianists
