How piano melodies became so elaborate before Chopin

In the early 19th century, pianists like Hummel, Field, Clementi, Dussek, and Czerny filled their piano music with elaborate, singing melodies that bear resemblances to the florid vocal ornaments of the era, specifically those of Italian bel canto opera. This video explores how the ornamental language of early 19th-century singing, like its embellishments, fioriture, and cadenzas, migrated to the keyboard, where pianists could push these vocal effects beyond what any singer could physically achieve – including some of the most extravagant pianistic gestures of the post-Classical era. Though often glossed over today, this repertoire set the stage for the famous "singing" piano style exemplified by Chopin.
