This second volume of essays in Chopin Studies contains Chopin
research by twelve leading scholars. Three main topics are
addressed: reception history, aesthetics and criticism, and
performance studies. The first four chapters investigate certain
images associated with Chopin during his lifetime and after his
death: Chopin as classical composer, as salon composer, as
modernist, as 'otherwordly', as androgyne. The next four essays
contextualize and define aspects of his musical language, including
narrative stuctures, baroque affinities, progressive tendencies and
functional ambiguity. The last four deal with analysis and source
study as related to performance, structure and expression, tempo
rubato and 'authentic' interpretation. The book ends with a
thumbnail sketch of Chopin as revealed in a recently discovered
diary for 1847-8.
