Jonson's book consists of an account of each Chopin composition, its place among the composer's work, its distinguishing features, notes of any special point of interest attaching to it and an epitome of comments and criticisms that have been made upon it. It is supplemented by biographical details and socio-historical information. The author gives a very detailed overwiew of the composer's life and work which deserves special attention in the field of Chopin studies. Reprint of the original edition from 1905.
