Chopin letters. Comp. Goldenweiser A.A.

This book contains more than 300 letters of one of the greatest composers in the history of Frederick Chopin. When some letters of the Polish Mozart first appeared in the press, the Nobel Laureate in literature, Genrik Senkevich, said that many of them were “genuine pearls of literature”. Indeed, reading Chopin’s letters, it is difficult not to succumb to the charm of their liveliness, one cannot but admire humor, wit, unexpected comparisons, well -aimed comparisons and characteristics, subtlety of the mind and observation of their author.

more than all the reasoning and stories of biographers brings us closer to the living Chopin, acquaintance with his letters, where the most directly reflects specific facts and events of life, spiritual states and reactions to impressions, connection with the surrounding reality and experienced influence. Acquaintance with the letters of the ingenious composer is the best satisfied the desire “first -hand” to find out the life, personality and thought of the author of the infinitely beloved in Russia and all over the world of divine music.
