13. Studies: Chopin Complete Works Vol. II
Author: by Ignacy Jan Paderewski
Published at: PWM Edition (July 1, 2020)
ISBN: 978-1540097170
(PWM).Chopin wrote works for piano and orchestra between 1827 and 1832. They were written successively therefore there are traces of the gradual crystallisation and maturation of the composer’s style. Their form and nature are dominated by the rules of the stile brillant, as well as the tendency to accent the national aspect.
Critical source-edition edited by Jan Ekier and Pawel Kaminski based on manuscripts, copies approved by Chopin himself, and first editions. Its purpose is to present the works of Chopin in authentic form.
14. Chasing Chopin: A Musical Journey Across Three Centuries, Four Countries, and a Half-Dozen Revolutions
Author: by Annik LaFarge
Published at: Simon & Schuster (August 11, 2020)
ISBN: 978-1501188718
A modern take on a classical icon: this original, entertaining, well-researched book uses the story of when, where, and how Chopin composed his most famous work, uncovering many surprises along the way and showing how his innovative music still animates popular culture centuries later.
The Frdric Chopin Annik LaFarge presents here is not the melancholy, sickly, romantic figure so often portrayed. The artist she discovered is, instead, a purely independent spirit: an innovator who created a new musical language, an autodidact who became a spiritually generous, trailblazing teacher, a stalwart patriot during a time of revolution and exile.
In Chasing Chopin she follows in his footsteps during the three years, 18371840, when he composed his iconic Funeral Marchdum dum da dumusing its composition story to illuminate the key themes of his life: a deep attachment to his Polish homeland; his complex relationship with writer George Sand; their harrowing but consequential sojourn on Majorca; the rapidly developing technology of the piano, which enabled his unique tone and voice; social and political revolution in 1830s Paris; friendship with other artists, from the famous Eugne Delacroix to the lesser known, yet notorious in his time, Marquis de Custine.
