Neste audiolivro, o jornalista e crítico musical Irineu Franco Perpetuo conta a história, recheada de trechos musicais, de Fryderyk Chopin, compositor cuja vida foi marcada por turbulências políticas, em sua terra natal, a Polônia, e emocionais, como seu relacionamento frustrado com Maria Wodzinska e, mais tarde, seu envolvimento conturbado com Aurore Dudevant, escritora de personalidade polêmica, mais conhecida por seu pseudônimo George Sand.

Based on 10 years of research and a vast cache of primary sources located in archives in Warsaw, Paris, London, New York, and Washington, D.C., Alan Walker's monumental Fryderyk Chopin: A Life and Times is the most comprehensive biography of the great Polish composer to appear in English in more than a century. Walker's work is a corrective biography, intended to dispel the many myths and legends that continue to surround Chopin.

André Gide, one of the great intellectuals of the 20th century and a devoted pianist, invites readers to reevaluate Frédéric Chopin as a composer "betrayed...deeply, intimately, totally violated" by a music community that had fundamentally misinterpreted his work. As a profound admirer of Chopin’s "promenade of discoveries", Gide intersperses musical notation throughout the text to illuminate his arguments, but most moving is Gide’s own poetic expression for the music he so loved.

Frédéric Chopin is the pianist-composer par excellence. Here, his life - from his birth in Poland, his famous affair with the French writer George Sand, and his death at the age of 49 in Paris - is told with his music featuring prominently.

In November 1838, Frederic Chopin settled in an abandoned monastery at Valldemossa in the mountains above Palma, where he finished what would eventually be recognized as one of the great and revolutionary works of musical Romanticism: his 24 Preludes. There was scarcely a decent piano on the island, so Chopin worked on a small pianino made by a local craftsman, Juan Bauza. Chopin's Piano traces the history of Chopin's 24 Preludes through the instruments on which they were played, the pianists who interpreted them, and the traditions they came to represent.

Polish by birth, Fryderyk Chopin made his name in post-Revolutionary Paris and is often depicted as the archetypal Romantic artist–blessed with extraordinary talent but consumed by the flame of genius, tormented by intense and tempestuous relationships and doomed to an early death. But how much of this story is based on fact? This account of Chopin’s life and times separates myth and reality and, illustrated with numerous musical examples, takes us from his youthful beginnings as ‘a second Mozart’ to the darkness and light of his life and the brilliance of his work.

Cudowne dziecko, paryski celebryta, osamotniony geniusz... Gdyby żył współcześnie, uchodziłby za ikonę męskiego stylu. Zdobywałby serca niebanalnym poczuciem humoru i ciętym piórem, a tabloidy rozpisywałyby się o jego związkach z kobietami, bowiem damy, starsze i młodsze, wręcz za nim przepadały. Fryderyk Chopin, geniusz fortepianu, jeden z najbardziej znanych Polaków, stał się ikoną i obiektem narodowego kultu, a był przy tym człowiekiem o niebanalnej osobowości i ciekawym, choć krótkim życiu.
