Chopin is one of the most universally loved composers, and his contribution to the development of the piano cannot be underestimated. This biography, by Jeremy Nicholas, offers a clear perspective on Chopin's complex character, whose innermost feelings were only fully expressed in his music. Generously illustrated, it is both an engaging portrait of the composer and an important work of reference. And with the words comes the music: 2 CDs of carefully chosen pieces spanning Chopin's compositional life. Furthermore, the purchaser of the book is given access to a dedicated website which offers even more music to listen to, as well as other bonus material.

Product Description:

Although Chopin left relatively little music, all involving the piano, a large proportion of it is still regularly performed and he has remained among the most beloved of all composers. This book provides commentary on all his works and offers a clear perspective on a complex and reserved character whose innermost feelings were expressed in his innovative music.

Part of Naxos' Life and Music series, this illustrated biography is accompanied by two audio CDs of recordings, presenting a representative selection of full movements from Chopin's works.
