Description

Explore a lesser-known chapter in the life of one of history's most famous composers. Chopin in Britain provides a detailed look at the composer's travels through England and Scotland. Following the instigation of his aristocratic pupil, Jane Stirling, Chopin visited these regions in 1848, just before his death in Paris the following year. This study also examines his earlier 1837 visit to London, offering a complete picture of his time in the British Isles. Author Peter Willis uses extensive original documentary evidence and cultural artefacts to reconstruct these historical visits. This richly illustrated book places Chopin's travels within the context of the aristocratic and social circles of the time. It is an essential resource for scholars and classical music enthusiasts who want to understand the personal and cultural impact of these brief but important periods in the life of the legendary composer.
