First of all, as a Chopin lover, I would like to point out that there are very few books that describe Chopin's works so beautifully. But Gide made a huge mistake at one point. If I had not listened to the Chopin compositions mentioned in the book, I would not have understood anything from the book. There are - naturally - a lot of piano terms in the book. If this book is read without any piano knowledge, if the reader is a little curious, he/she can carry this thin book around for days, wondering "I wonder what this means?" Another negative thing about the book is that Gide criticizes the virtuosos. I have already conveyed my reproaches to him, saying that if you know so much, you should play it yourself. Chopin's works are compositions that have reached perfection. We already agree with Mr. Gide on this. These are compositions that are difficult to understand. We agree on this too. Considering these two elements with which we agree, he could have criticized the virtuosos in a lighter language. If everyone could play Chopin's compositions like Chopin, everyone would be Chopin today. Another annoying phenomenon was that he called the people of the Asian continent barbarians. What arrogance! In short; I was amazed by the subject of the book and Gide's knowledge about music. But I never liked the style he used when writing these. I don't think I will be able to read another Gide book after this. Because the style of this book will always come to my mind.
