The renowned composer Frédéric Chopin (1810-1849) was born in Poland and moved to Paris. The short but passionate life and music of this “poet of the piano” has long been adored by many people. Approximately 250 items including rare materials such as an autograph manuscript (score), which is being shown in Japan for the first time, paintings. sculptures, photographs, books, and more will be exhibited. The handwritten scores and letters kept by the Fryderyk Chopin Museum at the Fryderyk Chopin Institute in Warsaw seem to convey the composer’s breathing even today. A piano will be placed in front of the venue during the event period which allows anyone to play. Multilateral approaches including the International Fryderyk Chopin Piano Competition, related animations, and actual performances will be presented so that you can fully “experience Chopin.”
