I stumbled upon something today that every Chopin nut should see (hear). It’s a program of audio files (also a map) describing Chopin’s life when he lived in Warsaw. I think it is very nice! Here is the link:

Click on the fourteen various places and you will hear information related to Chopin and how these places influenced his personality and music. Plus there is some very nice background information about places and people close to Chopin that I don’t think I have read in any books. You’ll also of course hear some wonderful music!
