The most famous was Frédéric Chopin, who arrived in Paris in September 1831 at the age of twenty-one, and did not return to Congress Poland because of the crushing of the Polish uprising against Russian rule in October 1831. Chopin gave his first concert in Paris at the Salle Pleyel on 26 February 1832, and remained in the city for most of the next eighteen years. He gave just thirty public performances during these years, preferring to give recitals in private salons. On 16 February 1838 and on 2 December 1841, he played at the Tuileries for King Louis-Philippe and the royal family. (He also gave a recital for the royal family in October 1839 in the "Château de Saint-Cloud"). He earned his living from commissions given by wealthy patrons, including the wife of James Mayer de Rothschild, from publishing his compositions and giving private lessons. Chopin lived at different addresses in Paris: upon his arrival in September 1831 until 1836, at 27 "boulevard Poissonnière", then at 38 "rue de la Chaussée-d'Antin", and 5 "rue Tronchet". He had a ten-year relationship with the writer George Sand between 1837 and 1847. In 1842, they moved together to the "Square d'Orléans", at 80 "rue Taitbout", where the relationship ended. His last address in Paris was 12 "Place Vendôme", where he moved in the second half of September 1849.
