Chopin, his future assured, moved to Place Vendome, No. 12. There he died. His sister Louise was sent for, and came from Poland to Paris.

An interesting account of Chopin's life and work with analyses of most, including comparisons of versions.

This book was ok but lacked in biographical details. There were no illustrations or scores and it was more of a critique of other 19c writings on Chopin and his music then a standalone study.
