Excerpt from A Handbook to Chopin's Works This book is not intended to be read straight through and then placed upon the shelf. It is a handbook, a kind of musical " Baedeker," a guide through the " Thoughtland and Dreamland " of Chopin's kingdom. Students of Chopin have already written voluminously about him, and in their writings are many pearls of criticism and gems of sympathetic insight; but these are scattered through innumerable volumes, magazine articles, and newspapers, and are therefore inaccessible to all but the most devoted students. I have tried to collect all such passages of the greatest value, and I have grouped them under the opus numbers of the works to which they refer, so that they are here presented for the first time in their natural connection, and are available for instant reference. The main portion of the book consists of a brief account of each composition, its relative place amongst Chopin's works, its distinguishing features, notes of any special point of interest attaching to it and an epitome of the comments or criticisms that have been made upon it by all the great writers, critics, biographers, and virtuosi who have written about Chopin and his works.

Excerpt from Life of Chopin However great may be the popularity of the compositions of a writer broken down by suffering long prior to the day when death seized him, it cannot be doubted that his posterity will hold his works in far higher esteem than did his contempor aries. Those who shall in future write the history of music will assuredly give a very exalted rank to one who distinguished himself in his art by so rare a genius for melody, and by such wondrous and graceful expansion Of the resources of harmony; and his triumphs will be far more appreciated than those of many others who covered a larger space, though the works Of the latter may be over and over again played by the full orchestra and over and over again sung by crowds Of prime donne.
