About this book

Franz Liszt approaches Chopin through the relationship between a composer's music, feelings and character. In this biographical study, translated from French by Martha Walker Cook, discussion of piano writing sits alongside reflections on artistic reputation and the demands of performance. The opening chapter considers how an artist's standing changes with time, while the translator's preface points to analyses of the Polonaise and Mazourka and their place in Polish life.

The prose often expands into broader arguments about imagination and conduct. A passage in the middle examines why people seek guidance from poets and musicians, and how an artist's actions can affect faith in the ideals expressed by the work. For readers drawn to Chopin or nineteenth-century musical thought, the book offers an expressive account of how music could be understood as a record of personal feeling and national character.
