Chopin's Birthday - 1st March and Death

Fryderyk Chopin born 1st March 1810.

Yep. He's a member of PF, wonder if he'll pop in later or if he'll be too busy celebrating his 199th birthday. :)

Thanks for the musical interlude Eagle20, I enjoyed that.

Raise a glass for Mr Chopin. :)

Raise some Chopin vodka for Chopin ;)

Glad you enjoyed it.

Mazurka, one of my favourites.

One of mine too. :)


Yes I enjoyed it greatly. :)

Cheers Fryderyk! Thank you for the beautiful music you left for us.

May the earth lie light upon thee.

Happy B-day Mr Chopin. And the note with Him was worth only 5000 zł.

Sorry I am late. Just got back from Krakow. The fountain is cold this time of year. Brr.


A man after my own heart. Wait, where is my heart?


My pleasure, Eurola.


At least they got my good side.

Lots of events planned to mark his birthday next year - see chopin2010.pl

Merged: Today is the 160th anniversary of Chopin's death

Some amateur pianists (not me!) have put together an on-line recital to commemorate the great man. If you like classical music, why not go and listen on this website:

Chopin is dead, long live Chopin (in our hearts)

Very nice playing although not professional; however, the music only demands the soul, not the long fingers. :)

Mine is in Poland.

Thank you for the tribute, it is nice to know one is missed.
