considered a "second Mozart."
By the age of 7 he had
composed two polonaises. The
child prodigy was featured in
the Warsaw newspapers, and
"little Chopin" became the
attraction at receptions given in
the aristocratic salons of
Warsaw. Chopin gave his first
piano recital at the age of 8.

Maria Wodzinska was Chopins
student; she painted this portrait
and gave it to him. They became
engaged, but her family
convinced her to break the
engament, due to Chopins poor
health. Chopin was devasted,
and always kept her letters with a
hadwritten note of his saying
My Sorrow.

Maria Wodzinska foi aluna de

Chopin; ela pintou este retrato e
o presenteou a ele. Eles ficaram
noivos, mas a familia convenceu
Maria a terminar o noivado,
devido aos problemas de sade de
Chopin. Chopin ficou arrazado e
sempre manteve as cartas de
Maria, com uma nota sua
dizendo Minha Tristeza.
Chopin preferred more intimate settings for a recital, like the home of Count and
Countess Radziwil, as he didnt like large concert halls.
Chopin no gostava de tocar em salas de concerto, e preferia ambientes mais
ntimos, como a residncia do Conde e Condessa Radziwil.

of Poland's occupation by
the Russian army.

compose for the piano.

Eugne Delacroix, pintou

Chopin, and wanted to take care of him,
so that his health would improve, so
that he would dedicate more time to
composing . Finally, he said Yes.

country state, Nohant. Very often, she
invited several of his friends to spend
weekends with them. Frequent visitors
were Franz Lizst, and Eugne Delacroix

Chopin, e insistiu que ele permitisse que
ela cuidasse dele, para que sua sade
melhorasse, e ele pudesse dedicar mais
tempo compondo. Finalmente Chopin
disse Sim. Passavam longas
temporadas na casa de campo

amigos de Chopin passavam fins de
semana, entre eles Lizst e Delacroix (1).
