FRÉDÉRIC CHOPIN
by Jacqueline Dineen
FRêDêRIC Chopin (24 pp.; $19.93; Nov. 3; 1-5705-248-2): This short entry in the Tell Me About series, illustrated with full-color and black-and-white photographs and reproductions, covers the life of composer FRêDêRIC Chopin, who began creating music at the age of eight. Dineen artfully recounts how Chopin’s music lives on in many works based on Polish dances. The volume is accessible even to first-time researchers. (chronology, glossary, index) (Biography. 5-8)
