This year marks the 120th anni- versary of Chopin's birth and in- | cidentaily the 80th anniversary of | his death. The master musician and composer of whom Liszt spok s0 highly, was born on March 1, 1809, in the village of Zelazowa | Wola, cight miles from Warsaw. | There has been some controversy even of late years as to his nation- | ality. Historians and biographers, however, agree that Chopin belongs to the Polish nation. Those who questioned his nationality based their conclusions on the fact that Famous Polish Composer Lelt| | difficult The musical world in general and | known—to be exacting to one's self | | cert in tempted composition and wrote a march dedicated to Grand Duke Constantine. He remained under Zywny's tutelage until he was 12, when his father sent him to the Warsaw Iyceum (high school). While attending this school he con- tinued his music lessons at the Warsaw conservatory under Joseph Elsner, one of the most prolific teachers at that time of whom Franz Liszt later said. “Elsner taught Chopin those things that are most to learn and most and to value the advantages that are only obained by dint of patience and labor.” Concert Tremendous Success Chopin was known to be a lively boy and extrem:ly fond of theatri- cals while in school and in 1825 he appeared again in public at a con- Warsaw. Three years later, at the age of i9 he got his first glimpse of the world outside Warsaw, when he was taken by friends to Berlin and the following year to Vienna. His coming there the musical world a-talking as name was already known .to a ain degree and cveryone wa ger to hear this young genius.

After | a successtul tonr of the British Em. | pire, he returned to Paris where h: | died in the fall of 1849 at the age of 40 from lung trouble. Although away from his native Poland, which no longer existed as a separate nation, for more than 20 years, he never forgot his people and most of his compositions were { written during times when his mem- ories turned mostly to that land. Jt is said that the composition of he famous funeral march was promp- ted by the downfall of his country, while his “Polonaise Militaire” got its inspiration from the unsuccess- ful battles of the insurrectionists, who sought to liberate Poland. The passionate meladies in the walts:g and noctures were the result of un. successful love affairs and in one focturne especially, can be detected a note of sorrow and longing for his country. To tl number, one of Poland's great poets wrote words, and the song became one of the most widely sung ballads among the Poles. His mazurkas are graphic pic- tures of the gayer moods in Polish life. Poland and her people owe a great deal to Chopin as he was one of the first, who, upon leaving their his father was a Frenchman.
