Fryderyk
Franciszek Chopin, the Polish composer and pianist, was
born on 1 March 1810, according to the statements of the
artist himself and his family, but according to his
baptismal certificate, which was written several weeks
after his birth, the date was 22 February. His
birthplace was the village of Zelazowa Wola near
Sochaczew, in the region of Mazovia, which was part of
the Duchy of Warsaw. The manor-house in Zelazowa Wola
belonged to Count Skarbek and Chopin's father, Mikolaj
(Nicolas) Chopin, a Polonized Frenchman, was employed
there as a tutor. He had been born in 1771 in
Marainville in the province of Lorraine in France, but
already as a child he had established contacts with the
Polish families of Count Michal Pac and the manager of
his estate, Jan Adam Weydlich. At the age of 16, Mikolaj
accompanied them to Poland where he settled down
permanently. He never returned to France and did not
retain contacts with his French family but brought up
his children as Poles.
