Smoking sigars and often dressed as a man, Sand immediately roused Chopin's aversion: 'What an antipathetic person this Sand is! I doubt if she is a woman at all.' She, on the contrary, was fascinated by 'that poor, sad angel' and slowly succeeded in winning him over. The famous journey to Mallorca, where Chopin composed his \u003ci\u003ePreludes\u003c\/i\u003e, was the final step. From then on Sand and Chopin were inseparable.\u003c\/p\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Technical mastery is always at Chopin's service: the F minor Ballade has impressive sweep, there's poetry and delicacy in the Nocturnes, character in the Mazurkas and Polonaise\\x85 a rewarding recital.' \\x96 BBC Music Magazine, 4 STARS\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOp. 49 In F Minor\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOp. 52 In F Minor\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOp. 64 No. 2 In C Sharp Minor\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOp. 54 In E Major\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOp. 53 In A Flat Major\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOp. 50 No. 1 In G Major\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOp. 50 No. 2 In A Flat Major\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOp. 50 No. 3 In C Sharp Minor\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOp. 27 No. 2 In D Flat Major\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOp. 62 No. 2 In E Major\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54421372305793,"sku":"2240490","price":14.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/0608917241723.jpg?v=1750649298","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/2240490","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
