Chopin's Humoresque: A Fictitious Biography

Frederick Chopin, one of the greatest composers and performers of the nineteenth century, fell in love with men, early and often. Chopin shared his piano compositions with the world while he concealed his personal life. The passion Frederick Chopin had for music, the piano, and men is recreated in this novel as told from the perspective of his fictional servant and companion, Jan. In Chopin's Humoresque we see another side of the great musician; the loving, compassionate, witty, sometimes silly, and frivolous side. In four movements, like a symphony, the story unfolds with two movements in Vienna, a third in Nohant at the home of George Sand, and the last during a tour of the United Kingdom.
