his ballads and romances all the poetry
OF his own delicate soul.
He knew loneliness, nostalgia and
establishment, yet his spirit never
faltered. He was separated from his
loved family, but he kept the bond of
affection vitality alive through his let
tiers, each Of which ended with Love
me-" He idolized his country, yet was
never to see it again after he rec
ognized that he must seek the de-
velopment of his genius in foreign
lands. A silver urn holding the soil
OF his country, gift from admirers
on his departure from home, was
ever with him and accompanied him
to his tomb. When those to whom
he had attached himself in affection
lett him and lingering death stared
him in the face, he found solace in
the quantity of violets with which he
liked to surround himself. And when
death at last overlook him, he asked
that q friend might sing, so that his
spirit could be borne away on the
wings OF his beloved music.
WHAT heritage has he left the
world and what task to match
it in interpretive intelligence. To real
lze the deeper utterances masked under
the lovely exterior is difficult accom-
plShment and one that demands q
spirit akin to the composers. Certain
elements made for Chopin's success
during his lifetime, and these same ele-
mentS are necessary in his interpreters
to make Chopin success today. It is
true that the form and melody of his
composition carry a universal and
never-failing appeal, but that is not the
beginning and end of his power. And
that is not the end Chopin destined
for his music nor the type of message
he wished to convey. He meant his
music to speak of the heart burnings
Of humanity and at the same time to
stimulate the spirit to bear them with
courage and with the determination
to survive their narrowing effects.
From his nearly lifelong habit of gaz-
ing across into eternity he had dis
covered the business and inevitable
goodness Of Fate, and this conviction
he has left to posterity. Nothing ex-
emplifles this better than his Funeral
March" where the nobl,, solemn
measures soar above human grief to the
calm, uplifting security of Infinite
Compassion. In his flights of lyricism
there is a purity and perfection not of
this world.
No pianist is without Chopin reper-
toire, but how many of them can re-
produce or think to reproduce these in
tangible elements that are the essence
OF the composer. Chopin was his own
best interpreter, and his style was SO
different from that of other pianists
OF his day that it was constantl'- being
remarked upon. After a concert in
Paris his compatriot, the Polish poet
Mlcklewicz said to him, You have in
your fingers an orchestra of butter
flies" What better summing up OF
Chopin's art could there be than this
remark, for his music is replete with
the glorious coloring, the charm and
spirituality of this most delicate OF
Gods creatures, who earnestly and
courageously fulfills his destiny.

Henry SZtompka, pianist, pupil OF
another famous Pole, Paderewski. In
Warsaw, where the broadcast will take
place, Mr.. Sztompka will have the
honor of playing on the piano upon
which Chopin worked out many of
his compositions and which has been
reverently taken care of in the
National Museum of Warsaw Mr.
Sztompka is the third pianist to have
been accorded the privilege of play
ing on Chopin's piano.
The celebration will continue
throughout the week in Poland. The
street in Warsaw named for the COM
poser will be decorated and his music
will be played at the Chopin Monu-
ment. The cottage where he was born
in 1910 at Zelazowa VIOLA, near War;
saw. will attract many pilgrimages to
view the mementos of his early days
in his native country and the years
Of his Paris career, which repose In
this small museum. 1t will be week
when Poland will delight in honorlng
her son, who immortalized the joys
and sorrows Of his people in music.
A LTHOUGH no similar celebration
is planned elsewhere, music lovers
all over the world will participate in
spirit in this loving remembrance Of
q great musician. Wherever great
music is played. Chopin's works have
never failed to awaken wholehearted
response, no matter what the degree
Of musical education may be. In spite
OF the fact that Chopin was thor
oughly national composer, finding
constant inspiration in the popular
themes of aristocracy and peasantry
ties to his by reason of his under
standing of the heart of a nation.
Through him, the soul of Poland was
made known to the world and the
world has been grateful.
In comparison with other COM
posers. how unique is Chopin. A man
of intense sensitivity, he did not
storm about his woes nor ruin his
beautiful nature by bitter thoughts.
He did not thunder out the passions of
humanity nor strive to enclose in
epic form the story of his people
Rather he spread the gospel of hap
piness, charm, and vitality, as though
to urge that no matter what the
sorrow, it should be met in a con-
quering spirit. 1t is this refusal to
submit to defeat, so characteristic of
his nation, that Chopin has glorified
in music.
NO ONE better than Chopin knew
what it meant to suffer. The urge
Of music was strong within him, yet
his physical condition did not match
his spiritual strength. nor was his
sensitive soul equal to battle with the
rough common -placeness of life His
only respite from this unceasing strug-
gle was to retire within himself and
there see the world as he wished to
see it and himself as a vigorous ex-
ponent Of joyous and graceful living.
He who had little strength to dance
wrote his waltzes, mazurkas and polon-
aises with fiery zeal, and sang into
