Notes on Chopin (Paperback)

An inspiring discourse on the power of music from one of the twentieth century s most important figures, Andre Gide Andre Gide, one of the great intellectuals of the twentieth century and a devoted pianist, invites readers to reevaluate Frederic Chopin as a composer betrayed . . . deeply, intimately, totally violated by a music community that had fundamentally misinterpreted his work. As a profound admirer of Chopin s promenade of discoveries, Gide intersperses musical notation throughout the text to illuminate his arguments, but most moving is Gide s own poetic expression for the music he so loved.
