Description

Discover the untold story of Frederic Chopin's visits to Britain in this richly illustrated study by Peter Willis. In 1848, the penultimate year of his life, Chopin travelled to England and Scotland at the invitation of his aristocratic Scots pupil Jane Stirling, before returning to Paris and subsequently dying the following year. Despite enduring scholarly fascination with the composer, these two crucial visits-including his earlier journey to London in 1837-remain remarkably underexplored in musical history. Drawing on extensive original documentary evidence and cultural artefacts, this Routledge publication meticulously reconstructs Chopin's time in Britain, placing his experiences within the broader context of aristocratic society and musical culture of the era. This comprehensive examination fills a significant gap in Chopin scholarship and offers readers fresh insights into a transformative period in the composer's final years.
