An introduction to classical music, featuring the life and work of composer Frederic Chopin. “I recommend this book wholeheartedly to new music lovers” (Sir Charles Groves, CBE, former conductor of Royal Philharmonic Orchestra).

Thanks to Nigel Kennedy and Pavarotti, millions of people have recently discovered that classical music is a highly enjoyable experience, perhaps contrary to their expectations. But the world of classical music can be highly intimidating and confusing. Author Ian Christians, a passionate believer in broadening the interest in classical music, has developed a unique approach, designed to make it as easy as possible for both novices of classical music, as well as those who have already started down the path, to explore with confidence.

Discovering Classical Music concentrates on the greatest composers. The author takes you step-by-step into their most approachable music and, in some cases, boldly into some of the greatest works traditionally considered too difficult for newcomers. Rarely does a book offer such potential for continued enjoyment. This volume concentrates on the life, personality and music of Frederic Francois Chopin.
