Occupation Composer, pianist
Birthdate March 1 [22?], 1810
Birthplace Zelazowa Wola, Poland
Obtained from Harold C. Schonberg, The glorious ones [although it serves as a good source of evidence, this book is certainly not recommended as a biographical, sociological or historical study of the individuals, characters and periods that it deals with - Ed.]

Comments The author asserts that Chopin "was able to distinguish an A441 from an A440". (A feat which is not excessively difficult - the difference between the two tones being almost 4 cents) - Ed.

The image you are looking at is the famous portrait of Chopin by French Romantic painter Delacroix
