Fryderyk

On the piano, in the evening, which descends early and eases the weight of the day with its soothing mists, the woman who lives above us begins her concert and plays Polish songs. A good, friendly melody sounds in the dark and conjures, from the fire, image after image in which fond figures from our distant past flow past one by one, in a theatre of dreams. // "Jeżeli komu, to Tobie, egoisto, winiem jestem zrozumienie o sobie; z jakim kto przestaje, takim się staje". - Chopin

Jean-Pierre Dantan, Bust of Fryderyk Chopin, patinated bronze, cast, Paris, 1841

In 1841, French sculptor Jean-Pierre Dantan created the following bust of Fryderyk Chopin. A couple of months later, the composer sent his friend Julian Fontana a letter from Nohant, in which he urged him not to send the bust to his family, “as it would scare them.” What do you think about one of the first sculptural depictions of Chopin?

together even on a postage stamp

There’s nothing suspicious about appearing alongside your friend and colleague on a postage stamp!

It’s a commemorative stamp for @franzliszt-official’s 150th birthday. And one should always celebrate their birthday with their friends, even on a stamp.

See, another was made with Franz and @berliozussy-official. Although obviously mine cost more because it’s me.

Lionello Balestrieri : Triptych of Chopin - Il trittico di Chopin, 1904

“It was … an unforgettable picture to see Chopin sitting at the piano like a clairvoyant, lost in his dreams; to see how his vision communicated itself through his playing, and how, at the end of each piece, he had the sad habit of running one finger over the length of the plaintive keyboard, as though to tear himself forcibly away from his dream.” - Composer Robert Schumann
