Life of Chopin Liszt FranzPaperback
He lived in the shadow of death, painfully aware of the tuberculosis that would kill him prematurely. 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. But Frederic Chopin attained immortality with his piano works, which endure as pinnacles of the instrument's repertoire.
Liszt surveys the technical brilliance as well as the poetry of Chopin's masterpieces, including the -Adagio- from Piano Concerto No. It is further enlivened by the author's personal acquaintance with Chopin's other friends, who constituted the very cream of Parisian intellectual and artistic society.Born a year apart, Chopin and Liszt came of age in an era favorable to musical change, when audiences as well as performers were receptive to Romanticism's innovations.
