This new biography is a fascinating account of the period in which Chopin lived, and the way in which the political scene helped shape his music.
The important people and places in the composer's life are brought vividly to life by the use of contemporary engraving, paintings and lithographs.
The author has made extensive use of contemporary accounts, letters and notebooks, and reproduces little known caricatures drawn by Chopin.
Ates Orga is a Fellow of Trinity College of Music, London. He was formerly with the Music Division of the British Broadcasting Corporation and is now Lecturer in Music at The University of Surrey.
