The complex cultural status of Chopin—he was a native Pole and adopted Frenchman, a male composer writing in “feminine†genres—is the subject of Kallberg’s absorbing book. Combining social history, literary theory, musicology, and feminist thought, this book situates Chopin’s music within the construct of his somewhat marginal sexual identity.
