The studies collected in this book fall into four chief thematic
areas of research on Fryderyk Chopin’s life, stylistic changes,
creative output, and musical reception. The first one is devoted to
the origins of the composer’s artistic formation in the context of
his connections with the Main School of Music at the Royal
University of Warsaw. The second thematic area is tied to the
problem of Chopin’s musical language and transformation of his
individual style. The third group of studies concentrates on issues
in Chopin’s musical aesthetics, while the fourth and final one is
devoted to the questions of composer’s reception in the
19th-century musical culture in light of the practice of musical
transcriptions at the time.
