Finding Emotional Agency Through Chopin's Harmonies
Briefly

The reflections on Chopin's piano music illustrate how his harmonies symbolize life’s tension and patience, especially in challenging times like those post-pandemic. The author describes feelings of fear and disconnection, yet emphasizes the importance of allowing moments to resonate rather than rushing towards transitions. The act of consciously listening to music parallels how we process emotions and decisions in life, encouraging us to be deliberate and patient, avoiding hasty conclusions by embracing the present and its complexities.
Chopin's long, drawn-out pauses and unresolved chords are not just waiting for a resolution-they contain the joy of existence without either anticipating or dreading what comes next.
