Jerzy Miziolek, Hubert Kowalski — Chopin Among Artists and Scholars

University of Warsaw, 2010. First Edition, Hardcover. Fine Condition. Firmly bound, clean unmarked pages. When speaking about Fryderyk Chopin (1810- 49), we tend to think of Zelazowa Wola, where he was born, of no. 12 Place Vendôme in Paris, where he spent the last months of his life, or of the church of the Holy Cross in Warsaw, the final resting place of his heart. But the place with which Chopin perhaps had the strongest ties was the campus of the University of Warsaw – a complex of buildings located at 26/28 Krakowskie Przedmiescie. Chopin lived in one of those buildings for more than ten years (1817-27), and in the years following that, until his departure for Vienna and Paris in 1830, he visited the campus almoust every day as a student of the Main School of Music, and institution that was then an integral part of the University. This book discusses those formative ten years which Chopin spent among professors and students of the University of Warsaw. Fully illustrated. 294 pages. Quantity Available: 1.
