Muzyka Chopina ostoją polskości na obczyźnie

Abstract

The life and creative production of Fryderyk Chopin, a brilliant Polish composer of the Romantic Period, is associated with the times of rapid liberation movements and sociopolitical changes in Europe. He spent half of his short life abroad, being torn apart by tremendous emotions, which were later on reflected in his artistic production. From his diaries and letters we get to know about his activity both as a composer and a pianist, and about its great importance for his contemporaries; especially for his compatriots living in exile.
