The Story of the Boy who Made Beautiful Melodies As long as we live and keep in touch with the works of the great composers we shall love more and more the music of Frederic François Chopin. It will be pleasant to learn from time to time something about him. We should like, for example, to know: In what country he was born. In what places he lived. What kinds of music he composed. Perhaps we may begin by learning that he was born in a little village in Poland not far from the City of Warsaw, beside which flows the famous river Vistula. Here is a picture of the house in which Chopin was born. [Illustration 2: CHOPIN'S BIRTHPLACE]
