Publisher's Summary:
An inspiring discourse on the power of music from one of the 20th centurys most important figures, André Gide.
André Gide, one of the great intellectuals of the 20th century and a devoted pianist, invites readers to reevaluate Frédéric Chopin as a composer "betrayed...deeply, intimately, totally violated" by a music community that had fundamentally misinterpreted his work. As a profound admirer of Chopins "promenade of discoveries", Gide intersperses musical notation throughout the text to illuminate his arguments, but most moving is Gides own poetic expression for the music he so loved.
