Frederick Chopin as a Man and Musician

CHAPTER IV
12/17

The first Allegro I have already tried with accompaniment.

It appears to me that this trio will have the same fate as my sonata and the variations.

Both works are now in Vienna; the first I have, as a pupil of Elsner's, dedicated to him, and on the second I have placed (perhaps too boldly) your name.

I followed in this the impulse of my heart and you will not take it unkindly.
