It is a must-read for anyone interested in classical music, music history, or the life of Frederic Chopin himself.The fundamental characteristics of Chopin's style--the loose-textured, wide-meshed chords and arpeggios, the serpentine movements, the bold leaps--are exaggerated in the works of this group, and in their exaggeration become grotesque, and not unfrequently ineffective. These works show us, indeed, the composer's style in a state of fermentation; it has still to pass through a clearing process, in which some of its elements will be secreted and others undergo a greater or less change.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
