Golab, Maciej, ed
This book is the first monographic study of nineteenth-century transcriptions
of Chopin’s music. The work is based on the quantitatively and qualitatively
rich source material, which formed the basis for considerations from the
perspective of social history, music analysis and aesthetics. Thanks to these
multiple perspectives, as well as the time range and the source base, this
study may contribute to the history of the reception of Chopin’s work in
nineteenth-century culture, it may also prove significant in overcoming the
attitude that aesthetically deprecates transcriptions and in adopting a
different stance, regarding such adaptations as valuable texts of musical
culture.
