The first Chopin's piano teacher was his mother - Justine Krzyżanowska. Apparently, when she played Frederick wept with emotion. He was very sensitive and delicate child. But he was also witty and energetic, which in later years had to hide from the salons of the French company.

Fryderyk Franciszek Chopin was born in 1810 in Zelazowa Wola, near Warsaw. Although not living there permanently, it was the place to which he returned as a child. During these visits he often played (on the piano) melodies heard in the surrounding villages.

Today in Zelazowa Wola the Museum of Frederic Chopin is located. The visitors can visit the entire mansion and a romantic park. Walking there you can often hear the Chopin's music played live, because they are often chamber music concerts in the mansion.
