Reviews

The first serious study of Chopin's oeuvre to appear in English; thus it fills a real need and it will probably remain a standard reference work for some years to come. --Music Analysis<br> Chopin's whole relationship to the nineteenth-century cult of virtuosity, and his transmutation of a salon art into the poetic, is perceptively described. --Times Literary Supplement<br> A work of impressive scholarship....The writing is vigorous and lucid. --Music Teacher<br>
