CHOPIN PRINCE OF THE ROMANTICS

by Adam Zamoyski

Published by Harper Press. Circa. 2010

Very good condition in a very good dustwrapper. In this biography, Zamoyski links Chopin with Bach and Mozart rather than his contemporary Romantics. Zamoyski sees Chopin as an insecure 18th century man lost in the Romantic Age. Red boards, gilt title to spine. Red endpapers. 356 pages (including index). B/w photos.

Second printing. Spine bumped, spine leans to one side a little. Contents are lightly browned but otherwise clean. Dustwrapper is edge creased and sunned to spine.
