Book Review
Oct. 8th, 2021 02:04 pmThe Cambridge Companion to Chopin
edited by Jim Samson
This Cambridge Companion was very engaging, not least because I am a pianist who enjoys playing Chopin. I very much enjoyed the chapters on the social and cultural context around Chopin and his music, especially the one's on Chopin reception in Poland and the 19th century public concert. I also really enjoyed the sections on the Nocturnes and the tonal architecture in early works.
