| Abstract | This volume is a tribute to a great artist, pointing out his place in the history of music, as seen by critic, artist, and composer in the middle of the twentieth century. To give the reader a first-hand glimpse of that great genius and his creative philosophy, the book presents a revealing series of Chopin's own comments - never before published - on music, musicians, himself and his works, extracted from his letters to Delfina Potocka. In attrition to the evaluation of Chopin's pertinence today, there is a brief summing up of his life and an analysis of his indebtedness to the musical tradition of Poland. |
