Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Polonaise: The Life of Chopin
When I suggested the example of Liszt to a soul stricken but still capable of enthusiasm, I thought also of offering him this story of Chopin. Not that this latter should serve to discount whatever slight exuberance there might be in the former. On the contrary: they complement and complete each other and show the two fold visage, the one concave and the other convex, of this symbolic being that we call the artist. Or, the sensitive man, the cognizant.
