- Synopsis
- Frederic Chopin was a celebrated pianist and probably the greatest composer for the piano the world has ever known. In this book, Frederic Chopin's childhood and boyhood are dramatically presented. Frederic Chopin was born in a little cottage in Poland on the estate of Count Skarbek, whose children were tutored by his father, Nicolas Chopin. The child loved music from babyhood and when the family moved to Warsaw a few years after his birth, he was placed under the tutelage of the best masters of music in Poland. His astounding performance in playing the solo part of a difficult concerto with the full Warsaw orchestra when only nine years of age marked little Frederic as the genius he was. Through the early years to that momentous day in Vienna when his playing at the theater of Count Gallenberg actually launched his career as a major figure in the world of music, Frederic Chopin, Son of Poland, Later Years completes the great man's life story.
