Studied under Zywny and Elsner, and pronounced a genius at 8. Entered Warsaw Conservatory at 12. Published first composition at 14, the Rondo in C Minor. Other celebrated works written before 19. At 20, concert tour of German cities with success. Too frail physically for army, became an exile, and lived Panis as teacher and pianist. Associated with Bellini, Cherubini, Meyerbeer. Visited England in 1837, and began acquaintance with George Sand (Mme. Dudevant). They returned to France 1839, separated 1847. Alternate happiness and misery of this association aggravated his tubercular condition, and he died 1849. Buried Pére-la-Chaise, Paris, after impressive funeral attended by entire musical colony. Works consist mainly of smaller pieces for piano, and his nocturnes, mazurkas, etudes, have never been equaled in their particular class. His personality remarkable— cared nothing for applause, and fascinated all who met him. Life-long illness and sympathy for trials of his native Poland found expression in music of exquisite beauty. The Victor takes pride in giving to the world many beautiful and perfect reproductions of the playing of the greatest interpreters of Chopin, including de Pachmann, whose renditions of the master’s works are unsurpassable.
