Life of Chopin

Description

He lived in the shadow of death, painfully aware of the tuberculosis that would kill him prematurely. But Fr�d�ric Chopin attained immortality with his piano works, which endure as pinnacles of the instrument's repertoire. This biography by one of the nineteenth century's foremost pianists--Chopin's friend and fellow artist, Franz Liszt--offers a highly informed assessment of the Polish composer's musical legacy.
