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.
Maciej Gołąb is head of the Department of Musicology at the University of Wrocław. He specializes in 19th and 20th century music history and theory, Chopin studies and methodology of musicological research. He is editor of the series Eastern European Studies in Musicology and author of the monograph Musical Work Analysis. An Epistemological Debate (Frankfurt am Main 2008).
