Walker sets out to dispel the many myths and legends that continue to surround Chopin. Fryderyk Chopin is an intimate look into a dramatic life; of particular focus are Chopin's childhood and youth in Poland, which are brought into line with Walker's latest scholarly findings, and Chopin's romantic life with George Sand, with whom he lived for nine years.00Comprehensive and engaging, and written in highly readable prose, the biography wears its scholarship lightly: this is a book suited as much for the professional pianist as it is for the casual music lover. Just as he did in his definitive biography of Liszt, Walker illuminates Chopin and his music with unprecedented clarity in this magisterial biography, bringing to life one of the nineteenth century's most confounding, beloved, and legendary artists. 600 10 $a Chopin, FreÌdeÌric, $d 1810-1849. 600 17 $a Chopin, FreÌdeÌric, $d 1810-1849. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00045258 650 0 $a Composers $v Biography. 650 7 $a Composers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00871620 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Composers & Musicians. $2 bisacsh 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Biography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423686 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 880 10 $6 600-00/Zsym $a Chopin, Fr|ed|eric, $d 1810-1849. 880 17 $6 600-00/Zsym $a Chopin, Fr|ed|eric, $d 1810-1849. $2 fast 941 $a 7 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305014821.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021015600.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230907011951.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20200529014210.0 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20200110012415.0 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20190329010137.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20190227010927.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9D6ABBC8DE6411E8A1A4695297128E48 994 $a C0 $b C@VInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
