Jerzy Miziolek, Hubert Kowalski

Chopin Among Artists and Scholars

University of Warsaw, 2010. First Edition, Hardcover. Fine Condition. Firmly bound, clean unmarked pages. When speaking about Fryderyk Chopin (1810- 49), we tend to think of Zelazowa Wola, where he was born, of no. 12 Place Vendôme in Paris, where he spent the last months of his life, or of the church of the Holy Cross in Warsaw, the final resting place of his heart. But the place with which Chopin perhaps had the strongest ties was the campus of the University of Warsaw – a complex of buildings located at 26/28 Krakowskie Przedmiescie. Chopin lived in one of those buildings for more than ten years (1817-27), and in the years following that, until his departure for Vienna and Paris in 1830, he visited the campus almoust every day as a student of the Main School of Music, and institution that was then an integral part of the University. This book discusses those formative ten years which Chopin spent among professors and students of the University of Warsaw. Fully illustrated. 294 pages. Quantity Available: 1.

As with all of Angela John's books, this excellent biography offered me a rich mixture of history, political and social context and insight into a fascinating life. As someone who believes passionately in the value of equality, and the intrinsic worth of celebrating and utilising diversity , it is especially interesting to see how the arts and business were brought together by this remarkable woman. A recommended read for anyone interested in the development of journalism, of women's rights and the influence of Welsh culture and learning. (Reader review) 644 pages. Quantity Available: 1.
