Utta Pacenza

My Time with Frederic Utta Pacenza

The writer has been a Chopin enthusiast since she was a young girl. When playing one of his compositions during a thunderstorm, she begins to be aware of his presence, and they form a psychic relationship. Chopin becomes her mentor and through his guidance, she understands what he envisioned in some of his works. As she gains his trust, she is able to satisfy her curiosity about events in his life, especially the breakup of the relationship with his lover and friend, George Sand, which had catastrophic consequences for his health. When the time comes for Chopin to end their meetings, she is emotionally saddened and wonders whether everything had only been a dream? "It appears that the author has formed a compassionate understanding of Chopin's life through her love of music, which manifests itself by facts and fantasy blending effortlessly." -Walter Soher, Chief Press Manager. "This is the story of a meeting between two beings separated by centuries. The author communicates with the soul of the composer allowing the reader to learn what Chopin envisioned in his compositions. With each meeting, her love and admiration for his music grows." -Eleonora Babacek-Hübel - PhD- Philosophy, Lyrical Poet
