Annotation: It has been our intention in commissioning this book to complement the documentary and analytical focus of Cambridge University Press's first volume of Chopin studies, published in 1988. This new collection targets three main areas of research--reception history, aesthetics and criticism, and performance studies--although the boundaries between these are by no means tightly drawn.

Publisher Description:
Following the success of Chopin Studies, this second volume of essays contains the most recent Chopin research of twelve leading scholars. Three main themes are addressed: reception history, aesthetics and criticism, and performance studies. The essays explore Chopin as classical composer, as salon composer, as modernist, as otherworldly, as androgyne, and define aspects of his musical language, including narrative structures, progressive tendencies and functional ambiguity.
