#3 ADHadh Feb 22, 2010 11:04:40	www.youtube.com/watch?v=4C-oiN_KDD0 Whats not to like? I could ask what's to like. Maybe Chopin is just too soft for me. The thing is, it's his 200th birthday today, the most importand date in this, so called, "Chopin year". Chopin, like any other famous Pole*, is Serious Business in Poland. I think not liking Chopin on his 200th birthday here would be kind of like an English man saying that Shakespeare is no big deal. *I know his father was French, and Poland didn't exist in his times (that's why he migrated to France), but he wanted his heart buried here.
