To HERMANN SCHOLTZ.
Our frequent conversations on Chopin have taught me to respect you as an admirer of this great master, and as a true and faithful interpreter of his glorious productions. It is to you, therefore, that I dedicate this work, which, without vanity, I may call a monument raised with care and devotion to his memory.
Accept it as a proof of my sincere friendship and appreciative esteem for your talents.
Moritz Karasowski.
Dresden, January, 1877.
