Chopin remembered Vienna as the city where he had made an instant success with his music, so when, after Years at home in Warsaw, he returned to Vienna he was heartsick to find only a cool welcome awaiting him.
Thus, simply, yet with drama is completed this excellent two-volume biography of one of the world\'s greatest artists..
However, time was running out, and, at the peak of his career, the great composer and pianist died in Paris, the city he loved.
Then ill health began making inroads on his time, and he went to Majorca, England, Scotland, seeking relief.
Years passed and the world hailed his greatest compositions.
In Paris, however, Chopin found himself warmly welcomed; his concerts became the vogue; his days were crowded with both gayety and the work he loved.
Vienna wanted to dance and sing and forget war...and Poland was on the brink of war.
