Named after Chopin, young Frederic unfortunately has no musical talent. After he has given up trying to learn to play an instrument, he sees a concert and is inspired to conduct all his instrument-playing relatives in an original composition. The theme is heavy-handed, and the story isn't a true depiction of how a conductor or composer works, but humorous touches in the text and art lighten the book.
