Chopin’s Heart Rests in Warsaw

Chopin was born in Warsaw in 1810. He first studied music at the Warsaw Main School of Music. His skill grew and grew, and soon he moved to Paris. At that time, Paris was a great city for composers to work on their music. However, Chopin missed Warsaw and wanted to return.

Because of war, he could not go back to Warsaw. Instead, in Paris, he began composing music about his hometown. He wrote many mazurkas. Mazurkas are a type of Polish dance music. These works made him famous.
