The Life of Chopin (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161439601)

The Life of Chopin is a biographical work written by the renowned composer and pianist Franz Liszt. The book details the life of Fr�����d�����ric Chopin, a Polish composer and pianist who is widely considered one of the greatest composers of the Romantic era. Liszt provides a comprehensive account of Chopin's life, from his childhood in Poland to his years as a student in Warsaw and later as a successful composer in Paris. The book also includes a detailed analysis of Chopin's music, with Liszt offering his own insights and interpretations of the composer's works. Throughout the book, Liszt portrays Chopin as a complex and multifaceted figure, with a deep passion for music and a troubled personal life. The Life of Chopin is a fascinating and insightful look at one of the most important composers of the 19th century, written by one of his closest friends and contemporaries.He was so entirely filled with the sentiments whose most perfect types he believed he had known in his own youth, with the ideas which it alone pleased him to confide to art; he contemplated art so invariably from the same point of view, that his artistic preferences could not fail to be influenced by his early impressions. In the great models and CHEFS-D'OEUVRE, he only sought that which was in correspondence with his own soul. That which stood in relation to it pleased him; that which resembled it not, scarcely obtained justice from him.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
