Edited by Jim (University of Bristol) Samson
Part of the Cambridge Companions to Music series
Paperback / softback
Description
The Cambridge Companion to Chopin provides the enquiring music-lover with helpful insights into a musical style which recognises no contradiction between the accessible and the sophisticated, the popular and the significant.
Twelve essays by leading Chopin scholars make up three parts.
Part 1 discusses the sources of Chopin's style in the music of his predecessors and the social history of the period.
Part 2 profiles the mature music, and Part 3 considers the afterlife of the music - its reception, its criticism and its compositional influence in the works of subsequent composers.
