Chopin wrote almost nothing that was not for the piano, and almost nothing that was not finished. Huneker goes through the work piece by piece, the nocturnes, the ballades, the studies that turned technique into poetry, around the life of a Pole in Paris who was dying of consumption while writing the most durable music of the century.
