About the Book

English Summary: Chopin of all people, who invented perhaps the most vocal melodies in the entire history of music for the piano, wrote relatively insignificant songs. Why was that inevitable? And what went wrong in Chopin's last great composition, the cello sonata? Who was the most important Chopin interpreter of the twentieth century - and what does the American jazz pianist Thelonious Monk have to do with it? The Polish essayist and writer Piotr Wierzbicki creates a dense, fascinating portrait of Chopin that does not dwell on biographical anecdotes, but makes the bold attempt to uncover the secret of his music and its enigmatic oscillation between harsh ruggedness and salon-like charm. In addition, Wierzbicki reports on the hypnotic appeal of the legendary Warsaw Chopin piano competition, (which he has been pursuing since 1955) and its well-known and lesser-known participants, on deep disappointments, pleasant surprises and a delicate question that he asked Artur Rubinstein. German Description: Ausgerechnet Chopin, der fur das Klavier die vielleicht gesanglichsten Melodien der gesamten Musikgeschichte erfand, schrieb relativ unbedeutende Lieder. Warum war das unvermeidlich? Und was ging schief in Chopins letzter grossen Komposition, der Cellosonate? Wer war der bedeutendste Chopin-Interpret des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts - und was hat der amerikanische Jazzpianist Thelonious Monk damit zu tun? Der polnische Essayist und Schriftsteller Piotr Wierzbicki entwirft ein dichtes, faszinierendes Portrat Chopins, das sich nicht mit biographischen Anekdoten aufhalt, sondern den kuhnen Versuch unternimmt, dem Geheimnis seiner Musik und ihrem ratselhaften Changieren zwischen herber Schroffheit und salonhaftem Charme auf die Spur zu kommen. Ausserdem berichtet Wierzbicki von der hypnotischen Anziehungskraft des legendaren Warschauer Chopin-Klavierwettbewerbs, den er seit 1955 verfolgt, von bekannten und weniger bekannten Teilnehmern, von tiefen Enttauschungen, angenehmen Uberraschungen und einer heiklen Frage, die er dem alten Artur Rubinstein stellte.
