Book Description
Frédéric Chopin spent the summer of 1844 at George Sand’s country estate in Nohant. During this time, his fifth summer visit to the estate, he produced this delicate Berceuse (lullaby) as well as the famous B minor sonata. The Berceuse is known for its dreamy, exquisite ambient sound, but it lies among Chopin s most intricately constructed works. It was originally intended to have the somewhat sober title ‘Variantes’: a sketch shows how Chopin conceived these ‘Variantes’. The genesis and sources are explored in this revised edition that reflects the latest scholarly findings.
