Chopin : The Man and His Music

THIS IS A DOWNLOADABLE E-BOOK. War was declared upon Chopin by a part of the musical world. The criticism was compounded of pure malice and stupidity. Chopin was angered but little for he was too sick to care now. He went to an evening party but missed the Macready dinner where he was to have met Thackeray, Berlioz, Mrs. Procter and Sir Julius Benedict. With Benedict he played a Mozart duet at the Duchess of Sutherland's. Whether he played at court the Queen can tell; Niecks cannot. He met Jenny Lind-Goldschmidt and liked her exceedingly--as did all who had the honor of knowing her. She sided with him, woman-like, in the Sand affair--echoes of which had floated across the channel--and visited him in Paris in 1849.Huneker, James G. is the author of 'Chopin : The Man and His Music', published 2004 under ISBN 9781419213021 and ISBN 1419213024.
