Pauline Viardot-García and Frédéric Chopin – Transcriptions of Mazurkas

This publication explores the remarkable artistic friendship between Pauline Viardot-García, an outstanding Spanish-born singer, pianist and composer, and Frédéric Chopin, one of the greatest musical geniuses of the nineteenth century.

Their long-standing relationship resulted, among other things, in twelve transcriptions of Chopin's mazurkas for voice and piano, performed by the two artists during their joint musical encounters and concerts. The book brings this exceptional amitié amoureuse – a profound artistic and intellectual friendship between two outstanding musicians – closer to the modern reader.

The publication also examines the place of Viardot's transcriptions of Chopin's mazurkas in nineteenth-century reception history and considers their significance and role in contemporary performance practice.
