Part two of my fav exhibits in the FC Musuem! 🇵🇱

1. Chopin’s pencil ✏️ (Before 1848)

Chopin used pencils not only to make notes in his diary, but also for drawing and to add comments to his pupils' scores. He was known to break them in anger while giving piano lessons. As Frederick Niecks, one of Chopin's first biographers, wrote: 'Madame Rubio [... informed me that Chopin was very irritable, and when teaching amateurs used to have always a packet of pencils about him which, to vent his anger, he silently broke into bits!]

I’m sure he’d break all the pencils and chairs if I were his student. 🤣

2. Chopin’s tie pins and pendant 📍

'Impeccably dressed, he wore, after the latest fashion, a navy-blue tailcoat with gold buttons, fastened over a white waistcoat, pearl-coloured trousers with clasps. A long tie, fastened with a diamond pin, encircled his neck' - wrote Chopin's pupil Georges Mathias

Choppy was very fashionable! ✨

3. A copy of Chopin’s armchair in his last apartment 🪑

This rosewood armchair is the only authentic piece of furniture belonging to Fryderyk Chopin that survived after the auction of items from the composer's last apartment. It was bought by Chopin's close friend, the artist Teofil Kwiatkowski.

4. Chopin’s portrait in 1843 (Teofil Kwiatkowski)

What a cutie!!! 😚

5. Chopin’s portrait (Franz Xaver Winterhalter, 1847-1861)

A portrait probably made after a pencil drawing that Winterhalter produced from nature on a May 1847. 👇🏻This one!

In a letter to his family, Chopin related: 'Yesterday I posed for Scheffer again, and the portrait is coming along. - Winterhalter has also done a small pencil one for my old friend Planat de la Faye (about whom I wrote to you once).- A very good likeness. Winterhalter is no doubt known to you by name, a good honest man of great talent'

😍😍😍

6. Chopin’s piano 🎹

Woah😚

7. Chopin on his deathbed😿 (Teofil Kwiatkowski, after 17 October 1849)

In this picture, besides Fryderyk, we see Princess Marcelina Czartoryska, Chopin's sister Ludwika Jedrzejewicz, Wojciech Grzymala, Fr Aleksander Petowicki and Kwiatkowski himself.

Aww🥹🥹🥹

8. Chopin’s travelling hat box 🎩

Choppy kept his hat in this box when travelling. He was known for his sartorial punctiliousness. In a letter to Julian Fontana, he wrote: 'apart from that, I forgot to ask you to have a hat made for me by my Dupont on your street. He has my measurements and knows what light ones I require. Have him give it this year's form, not overstated, because I don't know how you dress these days!’

Omg I don’t even know hat box is a thing, cute! 😍

9. Chopin playing the piano 🎹 (Teofil Kwiatkowski, 1847)

Urghh I love this sketch so much!! ❤️

something about the moon is enchanting...

“I woke, and sat up, motionless for a time. Mildly observing, as death languidly snaked back into my veins. Another day with venom in my blood. Another day, poisoned, dead.”

“Chopin was a genius - what can I say! He’s the pianist whom I would have loved the most to be able to hear, playing. I’m so curious about his playing, much more than anybody else, much more than Liszt. I’m so curious, I would love to see how he played, because of his compositions, the way he writes for the piano, which is totally different than anybody else. The virtuosity must not be obvious, because the musical quality is extraordinary in Chopin - so, the virtuosity, which is tremendous because it’s terribly difficult - it’s there, but it has to be like an understatement.”
