The future composer was born on February 22 (on other information on March 1) in 1810 in the town of Żelazowa Wola near Warsaw in the family of a Frenchman Nicolas Chopin and Polish Justina Krzyzanowska. The unique talent of a musician and composer became apparent from an early age and 12-year old Chopin became one of the best pianists in Poland. The best musical salons of Paris, Vienna and London, applauded his magnificent creations.
