  Frédéric Chopin   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Chopin was born in Żelazowa Wola in central Poland near Sochaczew, in the region of Mazovia, which was part of the Duchy of Warsaw.
Chopin died, officially, of tuberculosis in 1849, although there is some speculation that he may have had another disease such as cystic fibrosis or emphysema due in part to autopsy findings (reported only by his sister) seemingly inconsistent with the initial diagnosis.
Chopin's music for the piano combined a unique rhythmic sense (particularly his use of rubato, chromatic inflections, and the style of Bach), as well as a piano technique which was of his own creation.

 Warsaw Travel - Getting to Warsaw
Warsaw's Frederic Chopin Airport is situated in Okecie, 10 km south west of the city centre.
Travelling to Warsaw from the UK by car is not the epic journey you might think it is. Once across the channel head up the coast to Belgium, then into the Netherlands and, before you know it, you'll be in Germany, speeding comfortably along the autobahns.
About half of the main drag to Warsaw is pristine 'autostrada' (for which you'll have to pay), but the rest is still single file traffic, and the road surface can be pretty poor in places.

 Frederic Chopin biography - 8notes.com
Although Chopin is buried in the Père Lachaise cemetery in Paris, his heart is entombed in a pillar in the Church of the Holy Cross in Warsaw.
Chopin's music for the piano combined a unique rhythmic sense (particularly his use of rubato, chromatic inflections, and the style of Johann Sebastian Bach), as well as a piano technique which was of his own creation.
Chopin's style and gifts became increasingly influential: Schumann was a huge admirer of Chopin's music — although the feeling was not mutual — and he took melodies from Chopin and even named a piece of his Carnaval Suite after Chopin; Franz Liszt, another great admirer of the composer, transcribed several Chopin songs for unaccompanied piano.
