An Essay on Chopin

Frédéric Chopin and his Publishers, an exhibition in the Department of Special Collections, on view February 2 through April 10, 1998.

It was . . . an unforgettable picture to see [Chopin] sitting at the piano like a clairvoyant, lost in his dreams; to see how his vision communicated itself through his playing, and how, at the end of each piece, he had the sad habit of running one finger over the length of the plaintive keyboard, as though to tear himself forcibly away from his dream. - Robert Schumann
