22 February or 1 March 1810? We believe any date is suitable for celebrating Frédéric Chopin’s birthday!
That’s why we’ve prepared a small selection of Chopin-related memorabilia from the vast collections of the PBM Ikonoteka. You’ll find everything there: autographs with dedications, drafts of his works, letters, portraits (and caricatures!) of the composer, and even a childhood drawing he made for his father, Mikołaj.
Below you’ll have just a small glimpse of these treasures…
-
- Ink drawing, Fryderyk Chopin at a Musical Evening, (C.K. Norwid, 1847)
-
- Draft of Mazurka in F minor, Op. 68 No. 4 (1849)
-
- Name Day card made by Fryderyk Chopin for his father (1816)
-
- Publishing agreement between Chopin and Breitkopf & Härtel
…discover the rest for yourself! Visit the Ikonoteka and search for Fryderyk Chopin.
