I'm so happy I hit the link to listen to Madame Dawson's absolutely brilliant playing of Chopin.

For those unfamiliar with Chopin's titles, it's the familiar "I'm Always Chasing Rainbows" piece.

I can't remember the composition better played, ever! Great virtuosity, technical skill......with an intuitive mix of both the delicacy and power found in so many of Chopin's works.

I recall a couple years ago a freeper classics afficionado posted a photo of Chopin. There are only two photos and a death mask existing that we know of (circa 1849).

I remember being totally blown away that there actually exists photographic likenesses of the great composer.

If anyone has access to and can post one or both of these photos I'm sure many freepers would be grateful, as was I.
