Chopin was not a great composer by any means
It's good but now I want to read those letters I think I like Chopin better that way! But I don't everything is true.
Chopin Lovers:Have a look at this provocative biography and tell me what you think (I liked it) https://www.musicweb.uk.net/classrev/2002/Dec02/Chopin_Wright.htmBest wishes,Bernhard.
I believe the writer of that article should be lynched for the good of society. Schubert was in my mind one of the greatest composers- Erlkonig, Die Forelle, Unfinished Symphony, Wanderer Fantasy, sorry but these are not limited works. Neither are any of Chopins peices in my mind.
Chopin?Insert Schumann's name into this article and no one would know the difference!
Chopin was a "jew-hater"? Wasn't he best friends with Alkan?
I couldn't agree more. Schumann was also a fervent anti-semite and as bad an orchestrator as Chopin, but at least tried hard at orchestration. Schumann was slightly inferior in every way from Chopin except in harmonic rhythm and sometimes voice-leading, though rarely. Schumann was a nutcase and a Protestant, Jew-hating arsehole. Though I can't say I blame him, for although I am a very pious Jew, I think many of my fellow Jews are indeed insult-worthy . I call those Jews "goyishe kop", although I absolutely despise Yiddish, the remedial language of some of my ancestors.
