CHOPIN à paris, L'atelier du compositeur

From march 9th to june 6th, 2010

More Info

The exhibition “Chopin à Paris, l’atelier du compositeur” (“Chopin in Paris, the Composer’s Workshop”) is an invitation to explore the musician’s world. It enables us to situate Chopin’s arrival and prolonged stay in Paris at the heart of the artistic circles of the time, to understand his unerring attachment to the piano and to enter the workshop of the composer, in which his works were created.  The documents presented here bear witness to the wealth of Chopin’s oeuvre and to the fascination his genius bred.
Conceived as part of the Year of Chopin 2010 marking the 200th anniversary of the composer’s birth, the exhibition results from the collaboration of the Cité de la Musique and the Bibliothèque nationale de France.

  • Thierry Maniguet,
