{"product_id":"the-music-of-chopin-clarendon-paperbacks","title":"The Music of Chopin (Clarendon Paperbacks)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe lasting popularity of Chopins music has reached \"from salon to slum.\" He captured and expressed the spirit of the age of Romanticism  its ardour and idealism  its longing and restlessness  its love of spontaneity  with an authority his contemporaries immediately recognized and which successive generations have admired and loved. Much of the Chopin literature in English is biographical  but this book is a critical study of the music itself and of the creative process which is central to the life of any composer. Samson provides a detailed analysis of the style and structure of the music in the light of recent Chopin scholarship on the one hand and recent analytical methods on the other. The early chapters deal mainly with the sources and the characteristic profile of Chopins musical style  relating his music to a wider context in social and stylistic history. Later chapters look rather at the structure of his music and how it functions  with many examples highlighting the discussion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44966716112949,"sku":"ByrdShop_0198164025","price":49.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780198164029.jpg?v=1770576321","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-music-of-chopin-clarendon-paperbacks","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
