Abstract: | The music of Frederic Chopin appeals not only to the ears, but also to the soul—and it has been for 200 years. Even at the World Expo in Shanghai, the much-revered Polish musician is too important to be ignored. To celebrate the maestro, the Poland Pavilion has prepared a series of events to honor the bicentennial celebration of Chopin’s birth. On May 8, Slawomir Majman, Commissioner General of the Polish Section of World Expo 2010, sat down with Beijing Review reporter Hu Yue to discuss the planned events and share his views on Chopin’s music. |
