Chopin

Chopin's "E minor" and "F minor" piano concertos played a vital role in his career as a composer, pianist, and teacher. This Cambridge Music Handbook reevaluates these works and others by Chopin so that their many outstanding qualities--and the composer's genius--can be fully appreciated. The book also includes a survey of the critical, editorial, and performance histories of the works considered.
