About this copy
Part of Eric Blom's celebrated Master Musicians series, Arthur Hedley's study of Chopin is among the most respected English-language biographies of the composer. Hedley, a gifted linguist, learned Polish so he could work directly from the original documents, and he visited Poland to live among the surroundings of Chopin's childhood. The result is a thoughtful, enthusiastic and clear-eyed portrait of the man and his music, and an essential companion for any pianophile.
A handsome hardback in its original dust jacket, with the striking red and cream design featuring a portrait of Chopin. The text is clean and bright, and the volume is complete with its wrapper.
