WELCOME TO CHOPIN IN SPACE

WHAT IS CHOPIN' IN SPACE ?

LET'S START FROM THE BEGINNING

Frédéric Chopin was a Polish French Composer and pianist who lived from March 1, 1810 to October 17th, 1849 near Warsaw, Poland. From the Romantic period, he was best known for his solo pieces for piano. Chopin ranks as one of music’s greatest tone poets by reason of his superfine imagination and fastidious craftsmanship.

Chopin ranks as one of music’s greatest tone poets by reason of his superfine imagination and fastidious craftsmanship. "Chopin visited Vienna and made his performance debut there in 1829. A second concert confirmed his success, and on his return home he prepared himself for further achievements abroad by writing his Piano Concerto No. 2 in F Minor (1829) and his Piano Concerto No. 1 in E Minor (1830), as well as other works for piano and orchestra designed to exploit his brilliantly original piano style. His first études were also written at this time (1829–32) to enable him and others to master the technical difficulties in his new style of piano playing.”   Check out his music here!

Space, a continuous area or expanse of free space, unoccupied and full of infinite possibilities. Currently orbiting space is the International Space Station, home to six Astronauts. Back in 2018 Col. George D. Zamka had an idea “to fly something to space for Poland”. Col. George D. Zamka shares "My friend, Adam Ustynowicz, suggested that I fly some music from Chopin, since his 200 year anniversary would occur during my flight. I was doubtful. I was offering a gift, however, and trusted that the music would be a way to celebrate the friendship and heritage between two great countries, the United States and Poland. After I returned the music, Adam began to put video of our mission together with the various Chopin pieces. I saw and heard, as I think you will see, that the emotions that gave life to our mission are the same that people have sensed forever; they are the emotions that Chopin related with his music. Excitement, friendship, separation, and wonder came and went in flashes throughout our time in space."
