"Fryderyk Chopin’s Poland" is a site devoted to Chopin’s youth spent in his native land. We describe places related to Chopin – house where he was born, church where he was baptized, Warsaw where he lived, learned, gave concerts and places where he used to spend holidays with his friends. First twenty years spent in Poland formed his character and had considerable influence on his artistic activity. Chopin was very cloe to his family, group of friends. At the same time since the youngest years he had been invited to aristocratic venues and considered child-prodigy pianist. Fryderyk adopted this role with natural charm and fulfilled his role as young brilliant virtuoso.
When he left Poland in November of 1830, he was an author of great works such as piano concertos in F-minor and E-minor. He travelled to Vienna to develop his artistic skills and he did not suppose that he had left Poland forever. When he heard about the insurrection had broken out in Warsaw, he wished to return to Poland. His best friend Tytus Woyciechowski dissuaded him, although he himself returned. All his colleagues and friends participated in the rising. According to diarists, Chopin wrote a letter to his parents 'with a burning desire to return to Poland'. His works were fulfilled with longing for Poland.
