Description
The book defines and describes the relationships between Chopin's music and one of the oldest but still used monastic rules, the Rule of Saint Benedict. It is situated at the boundary of musicology and theology. The chapters deal with current and existential issues such as beginnings, authority, weakness, interactions and emotions and are illustrated by musical examples.
