To a people, always prompt in its recognition of genius, and ready
to sympathize in the joys and woes of a truly great artist, this
work will be one of exceeding interest. It is a short, glowing, and
generous sketch, from the hand of Franz Liszt, (who, considered in
the double light of composer and performer, has no living equal, )
of the original and romantic Chopin; the most ethereal, subtle, and
delicate among our modern tone-poets. It is a rare thing for a
great artist to write on art, to leave the passionate worlds of
sounds or colors for the colder realm of words; rarer still for him
to abdicate, even temporarily, his own throne, to stand patiently
and hold aloft the blazing torch of his own genius, to illume the
gloomy grave of another: yet this has Liszt done through love for
Chopin
