Publisher's Synopsis
A beautifully illustrated biography focusing on the childhood and early career of the great pianist and composer. On the accompanying Audio, available via the Moonlight Audio App and on Audio CD, the narration of the text is interwoven with recordings of the artist's music, creating an evocative experience that immerses young readers in the artist's life and music. As a young Polish boy, Chopin was already composing his own tunes at the age of five. He learned Latin, Greek, and French, then German, English, and Italian at the same time he was learning to play the piano. Children who can tell stories through their piano playing or singing, or who have ever danced a Polish mazurka, will find that they have much in common with Chopin.
