Chopin's Last Manuscript

THE LOVE THAT INSPIRED IMMORTAL MUSIC — AND NEARLY DESTROYED THE MAN WHO WROTE IT.

“A lyrical and affecting story that elegantly re-creates the world, and the wounds, of a musical legend.” — Kirkus Reviews

A Young Naïve Composer. A Notorious Older Woman. An Obsessive Affair.

A young exile arrives in the most seductive city in Europe carrying little more than his music, his pride, and the pain of the country he left behind.

Within months, Frédéric Chopin becomes the obsession of Parisian society. Aristocrats fight for invitations to hear him play. Women fall under his spell. His music ignites salons lit by candlelight and scandal.

But fame cannot protect him from the woman who will change everything.

Brilliant. Defiant. Dangerous.

George Sand is unlike anyone Chopin has ever known — a celebrated novelist who dresses like a man, smokes cigars in public, and refuses to obey society’s rules. Their love affair shocks Paris and consumes them both.

As passion deepens into jealousy, betrayal, illness, and emotional ruin, Chopin must choose between devotion to the one he loves and his own dignity.

Read His Story. Hear His Music. Feel His Heartbreak.

For the first time, experience Chopin’s life and love through both story and sound. As you read, simply tap to hear the very pieces he was composing, performing, and pouring his soul into at that exact moment in the story.
