«Chopin» is the biography of the composer Frédéric Chopin written by André Lavagne, published by Espasa-Calpe in paperback (128 pages, in Spanish).
The work traces the life of Frédéric Chopin, from his beginnings as a child prodigy in Poland to his consecration in Paris, and questions the stereotypical image of the romantic, sickly musician. It shows a composer whose creative energy was concentrated almost exclusively on the piano, marked by tuberculosis and by his long relationship with George Sand.
Translation from the French by Felipe Ximénez de Sandoval. Belongs to the «Clásicos de la música» collection and includes a bibliography.
For readers interested in biographies of composers and in musical Romanticism.
