Description
Reviving a Classical Icon: Fryderyk Chopin
Delve into the illustrious life of eminent Polish composer, Fryderyk Chopin. Fryderyk Chopin, a landmark biography by renowned musicologist Dr. Alan Walker represents a comprehensive exploration into the life and times of the classical giant.
Spanning a decade of extensive research, and drawing on a wealth of primary sources, this book aims to dispel prevalent myths and narratives surrounding Chopin's life. The biography provides a closer look into Chopin's journey from his childhood years in Poland to his romantic escapades with George Sand. By capturing these distinct facets of his life, the book breathes new life into the understanding of the composer's personal and professional experiences.
Comprehensive and engaging, and written in highly readable prose, the biography wears its scholarship lightly: this is a book suited as much for the professional pianist as it is for the casual music lover. Just as he did in his definitive biography of Liszt, Walker illuminates Chopin and his music with unprecedented clarity in this magisterial biography, bringing to life one of the nineteenth century's most confounding, beloved, and legendary artists.
