A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice. The Sunday Times (U.K.) Classical Music Book of 2018 and one of The Economist's Best Books of 2018.

A magisterial portrait. --Corinna da Fonseca-Wollheim, The New York Times Book Review

A landmark biography of the Polish composer by a leading authority on Chopin and his time

Based on ten years of research and a vast cache of primary sources located in archives in Warsaw, Paris, London, New York, and Washington, D.C., Alan Walker's monumental Fryderyk Chopin: A Life and Times is the most comprehensive biography of the great Polish composer to appear in English in more than a century. Walker's work is a corrective biography, intended to dispel the many myths and legends that continue to surround Chopin. Fryderyk Chopin is an intimate look into a dramatic life; of particular focus are Chopin's childhood and youth in Poland, which are brought into line with the latest scholarly findings, and Chopin's romantic life with George Sand, with whom he lived for nine years.

Comprehensive and engaging, and written in highly readable prose, the biography wears its scholarship lightly: this is a book suited as much for the professional pianist as it is for the casual music lover. Just as he did in his definitive biography of Liszt, Walker illuminates Chopin and his music with unprecedented clarity in this magisterial biography, bringing to life one of the nineteenth century's most confounding, beloved, and legendary artists.

Product still holding up
Works great. Protects hand from wind and sticks. The cell phone pocket doesn't hold large phones, but I don't think it's even necessary.

Can hit the brake
Color: Black
Works well to keep the cold off your hands. Unfortunately at higher speeds, the wind resistants can actually cause them to hit the front brake. Was riding home doing almost 80 and got a wiff of burning brakes....pulled over and they were smoking pretty bad.

Draw string sewn into seam on gloves. They sent a new pair
The draw string was sewn into the seam of the gloves. I tried to get the draw string to separate from the seam and it broke. Hoping vendor sends me a replacement. The product looks good and is of good quality. Will update further as time goes on so you know how they wear They sent me a new pair and they are good. so changed my review to reflect this. They have good customer service. I would buy from them again

Cheap Draw Strings
Color: Black
Never had a chance to use them because the cheap thin cord draw string snapped on both covers. Therefore, I was unable to fasten them to the handbars. I tried zip ties to hold them in place, but the either slid off or crowded the hand space inside.
