Book Synopsis Chopin Studies by : Jim Samson
Book excerpt: This book contains detailed documentary and analytics studies of the music of Chopin, representing the most recent research of leading scholars in the field. The first three essays are concerned with the composer's intentions as revealed in autograph sources. The next group of four essays deal analytically with different aspects of Chopin's musical language, ranging from large-scale tonal planning and the interpretation of harmonic dissonance to praise rhythm and texture. The final three essays are case studies of individual works: the Preludes op. 28, the "Barcarolle", and the Fantasy op. 49.
