• I was born in 1810 in Warsaw, Poland.
  • From a young age I was a famed pianist, composer and child prodigy.
  • I was mostly based in Paris, where I mingled with the cream of Parisian society and performed for aristocrats and royalty. My talents led to me being dubbed “the Raphael of the piano”.
  • In 1838 I absconded to Majorca with French novelist George Sand, with whom I had a long and stormy affair.
  • Having suffered from a young age from a wasting disease, likely tuberculosis, I died aged just 39 in 1849.
