Book Reviews of Chopin's Letters (Dover Books on Music)

Book Review: Chopin's Actual Writing- What More Could One Want?
Summary: 5 Stars

The title says it all, basically. This is a highly accurate book, of course, and it is mostly thanks to Chopin's beautiful writing. However, the preface provides highly accurate and careful/thoughtful information about Chopin and his letters. I really appreciated the amount of care that was put into editing Chopin's letters with the least bias possible- greatly done. For all Chopin fans, this is a must have; what better thing to read about the romantic genius than his actual writing (very detailed and colorful, too)? I highly recommend this book.
