One of the most special aspects of Chopin’s music, which I love with whole my heart is its profound emotional depth and expressiveness. Maybe it touches the deepest corners of our hearts.

The day after his death, on October 18, 1849, Cyprian Norwid, a Polish poet and Chopin’s friend, published an obituary in “Dziennik Polski” in which he wrote the famous words: “A native of Warsaw, a Pole at heart, and a world-class citizen, Fryderyk Chopin, has departed from this world.”

For Fryderyk Chopin, beloved Paris was the place where he spent almost half of his life. It was here that he celebrated his greatest triumphs, and it was also here that he met George Sand.

After a short stay in an apartment on rue de Chaillot (now Hôtel Prince de Galles), Chopin moved to his last apartment, at number 12 on Place Vendôme, where a stone plaque is placed: “Fryderyk Franciszek Chopin, born in Żelazowa Wola (Poland) 22 February 1810, died in this house on October 17, 1849.

That is the apartment that I have the pleasure of presenting in the pictures.

I had a great delight to see the Frederic Chopin salon. It is here where Chopin is said to have composed his last work, Mazurka in G Minor, and where he died on October 17, 1849.

Thank you Chaumet Representatives for a beautiful historic tour in Maison Chaumet in Place Vendôme – the center of the mythical Paris square.”
