Il manoscritto di Chopin

The novel cleverly links Chopin's music with the plot's tension. I'm curious whether the author has a personal connection to music or if this was a narrative choice.

The story escalated rapidly, which was exciting but also left me with questions about the characters' decisions. Was this intentional to heighten suspense?

The way the manuscript's past unfolds adds layers to the story. I wonder if this structure was planned from the beginning or evolved during writing.
