Publisher's Synopsis

Frederic Chopin As A Man And Musician V1 is a comprehensive biography of the famous Polish composer and pianist Frederic Chopin, written by Frederick Niecks. The book provides a detailed exploration of Chopin's life, from his childhood in Poland to his years as a celebrated musician in Paris. It offers insight into Chopin's personal relationships, including his tumultuous love affair with the writer George Sand, and his struggles with illness and depression. The book also delves into Chopin's musical career, examining his compositions and musical style, as well as his influence on the Romantic era of music. With extensive research and analysis, Frederic Chopin As A Man And Musician V1 offers readers a comprehensive understanding of one of the most iconic figures in classical music history.The fundamental characteristics of Chopin's style--the loose-textured, wide-meshed chords and arpeggios, the serpentine movements, the bold leaps--are exaggerated in the works of this group, and in their exaggeration become grotesque, and not unfrequently ineffective. These works show us, indeed, the composer's style in a state of fermentation; it has still to pass through a clearing process, in which some of its elements will be secreted and others undergo a greater or less change.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
