    Chopin for the participants of the Warsaw Uprising

    There is much evidence in Fryderyk Chopin's biography of his deep attachment to his homeland. Writing to his family from Vienna at the age of 21, he makes this clear declaration: ‘Malfatti [i.e. the imperial court physician Johann Malfatti, who introduced the young composer to the circles of the artistic elite of Vienna] attempts in vain to convince me that every artist is a cosmopolitan. Even if that were the case, as an artist I am still in the cradle, but as a Pole I have begun my third decade.’
