Title: Chopin
Description: Frédéric Chopin died in 1849. He is universally regarded as the greatest of composers for the piano. And it has become possible to regard his brief, varied, tragic life as a whole, to tell it so that it stands in the full light of his time and ours, so that the biography and the music clarify each other. Herbert Weinstock has written a book of double interest and usefulness -- a full-length biography taking advantage of modern research, a history and analysis of every known surviving composition. For many years to come, this will be the standard and definite work on Chopin in English. -- From publisher's description.
