Simply Chopin

Frédéric Chopin was one of music's first superstars--a virtuoso pianist whose checkered love life and tragic early death have made him an icon of the Romantic era. He was also a prodigious and groundbreaking composer, who created new musical forms and whose compositions were imbued with an unprecedented sense of nationalism. In Simply Chopin, Dr. William Smialek explores Chopin's masterworks in the context of historical events, while illuminating the life and often troubled times of this revered and influential luminary of classical music.
