In celebration of the 200th anniversary of Chopin’s birthday

Frédéric Chopin was born near Warsaw, Poland in 1810. From 1831 he lived mostly in France, where he achieved international acclaim for his music despite a debilitating and life-shortening illness. He first began to cough up blood in 1835, and this eventually became persistent; yet his correspondence indicates that he experienced periods of alternating remission and relapse for the following fourteen years. He died in 1849, and his body was interred in Père Lachaise Cemetery, Paris. His heart, however, was preserved in cognac, sealed in a crystal urn and taken to his native Poland, where it reposes in the Holy Cross Church in Warsaw. Before burial, Dr. Jean Cruveilhier (1791-1874) performed an autopsy, the findings of which confirmed tuberculosisⁱ of the lungs and larynx, as well as cachexia.¹ Yet anecdotes from contemporaries suggested that the pathologist was surprised by greater cardiac, rather than pulmonary, involvement in the evolution o

After a dream...

Here is one of Gabriel Fauré's most beautiful melodies, the song 'Après un rêve', composed in 1877. The music's melancholy is perhaps no accident when placed in the context of Fauré's life at the time.

In 1872 the 27 year old composer had been introduced by his teacher Camille Saint-Saëns to the remarkable musical circle of the singer Pauline Viardot. Viardot, sister of the even more famous singer La Malibran, had over the years inspired many composers to write music for her, including Schumann (Liederkreis Op.24) and Brahms (Alto Rhapsody) and she had also been a close friend of Chopin, in whose concerts she had occasionally performed in the 1840s. Not surprisingly, Fauré found Pauline Viardot's regular Parisian musical soirées an inspiring environment, remarking in an interview years later that he had played charades at Pauline Viardot’s Paris salon with the likes of Turgenev, George Sand, Louis Blanc, Gustave Flaubert and others. Pauline Viardot herself wrote this charming pen portrait of Fauré in a letter to a friend:
