Chopin's twenty-four Preludes remain as mysterious today as when
they were newly published. What prompted Franz Liszt and others to
consider Chopin's Preludes to be compositions in their own right
rather than introductions to other works? What did set Chopin's
Preludes so drastically apart from their forerunners? What exactly
was 'the morbid, the feverish, the repellent' that Schumann heard
in Opus 28, in that 'wild motley' of 'strange sketches' and
'ruins'? Why did Liszt and another, anonymous, reviewer publicly
suggest that Lamartine's poem Les Preludes served as an inspiration
for Chopin's Opus 28? And, if that is indeed the case, how did the
poem affect the structure and the thematic contents of Chopin's
Preludes? And, lastly, is Opus 28 a random assortment of short
pieces or a cohesive cycle? In this monograph, richly illustrated
with musical examples, Anatole Leikin combines historical
perspectives, hermeneutic and thematic analyses, and a range of
practical implications for performers to explore these questions
and illuminate the music of one of the best loved collections of
music for the piano.
