OTD in Music History: Legendary pianist-composer Frederic Chopin (1810 – 1849) makes his last public appearance on a concert platform at the Guildhall in London in 1848. As a patriotic gesture, he plays at a benefit held for Polish refugees; unfortunately, this proves to be both a futile and taxing mistake, since more of the attendees at this event are far more interested in dancing and imbibing refreshments than in listening to Chopin’s artistry, and the exertion leaves him feeling even more drained and weak than he was before. Chopin weighs less than 100 lbs and is already terminally ill from the tuberculosis that will kill him in less than a year… PICTURED: A beautiful example of Chopin's "classic" full signature, dated in pencil by another contemporaneous hand – probably that of celebrated cellist August Franchomme (1808 – 1884). This example originates directly from the Franchomme estate. Franchomme was the most celebrated French cellist of his time, and he forged close friendships with both Chopin and Felix Mendelssohn (1809 - 1847). In 1833, Chopin and Franchomme collaborated to write a "Grand Duo concertant" for piano and cello, based on themes from Giacomo Meyerbeer's (1791 - 1864) hit 1831 opera, "Robert le diable". Franchomme also rewrote the cello parts for Chopin's "Polonaise Brillante" (Op. 3), and was the dedicatee of Chopin's Cello Sonata (Op. 65). Based on comparison with other known examples, and taking into account both the date and the lined paper, it seems very likely that this example was cut from a receipt for royalties paid to Chopin by the Pleyel publishing firm for the sale of some of his original compositions. Assuming that the date written beneath this signature is accurate, Chopin had just met his lover Aurore Dupin (better known by her pen name “George Sand”) (1804 - 1876) for the first time at a party a few weeks before his put pen to paper here.

I like Chopin’s music a lot and this Polonaise may not be as famous as it’s Op 40 companion, but I think it’s a ripper. I love it’s dark opening.
