Abstract

In the video Homage to Chopin Mariateresa Sartori continues her research on the relation between music and language, investiga­ting the behavioural dynamics in the verbal comunication. As the artist says: Most of Chopin’s music has always seemed to me a dialogue between two persons.
The strong relation between music and language in its emotional expressivity is established by the piece of Chopin, which if in a way it hides the content of the dialogue in another it highlights the emotional aspect globally shared.
 It is also  a work about the pervading power of music perfectly expressed by T.S. Eliot: in his Four Quartet
  ”…you are the music
   While the music lasts”
