Description

George Sand's nearly decade-long relationship with the Polish-born composer Frédéric Chopin was complicated to say the least. They first met at a party in 1836 which was hosted by fellow composer Franz Liszt's mistress Marie d'Agoult. Initially, Chopin had little attraction to Sand, but they socialized in the same circles and eventually an attraction grew, especially for Sand—within two years they became lovers. The couple spent an unhappy winter on the Spanish island of Majorca, with both of Sand's children in tow and where Chopin's always frail health degenerated in the cold, wet weather. In fact, it was Chopin's ill health that eventually turned Sand into more of a maternal caretaker than lover. They continued their relationship in one form or another, generally living together at her estate in Nohant or in nearby apartments in Paris, for the better part of a decade, and their intimate circle of friends consisted of other writers and artists of the day, including Eugène Delacroix, who painted a double portrait of Sand and Chopin. Their complicated and often strained relationship came to an end when Chopin continued to communicate with Sand's daughter Solange, and her husband, after the couple had a falling out with Sand. This apparently proved too much, and Sand and Chopin were never reconciled—she did not even attend the composer's funeral after his early death a few years later. This volume contains information about Sand and Chopin's relationship from the perspective of one of Chopin's biographers.
