This book contains sentences of headache inducing length. Liszt was obviously a better musician than writer, though it is kind of cute how much of a crush he had on his friend. I found it kind of hard to get through though, and only managed because I didn't start reading it for the fun of it anyway. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0486446255, Paperback)

This biography of Frédéric Chopin by his friend and fellow artist, Franz Liszt, offers a highly informed assessment of the Polish composer's musical legacy. It's further enlivened by the author's personal acquaintance with Chopin's other friends, who included Sand, Balzac, Hugo, Berlioz, Delacroix, and Schumann. Liszt surveys the brilliance of several of Chopin's masterpieces.
