Frederic having availed himself of an invitation to Antonin, the Prince took a great fancy to him, and was charmed with his playing. In May, 1829, when he went to Warsaw as representative of the Prussian court, at the coronation of the Emperor Nicholas, [Sidenote: VISITED BY PRINCE ANTON RADZIWILL.] he visited Frederic at his fatherʼs house, and was very pressing in inviting him to his establishment at Posen. There was no further personal intercourse between this magnate and our artist, yet writers, ignorant of the facts, have represented the Prince as Chopinʼs benefactor, and as having supplied the means for his education. Franz Liszt was the first to promulgate this error in his book, entitled “Francois Chopin,” written in French, shortly after the masterʼs death, in which he says, “supplementing the limited means of the family, the Prince bestowed on Frederic the inestimable gift of a good and complete education. Through a friend, M. Antoine Korzuchowski, the Prince, whose own elevated mind enabled him to understand the requirements of an artistic career, always paid his educational expenses. From this time until the death of Chopin, M. Korzuchowski held the closest relations of friendship with him.” In this statement there is not a word of truth, yet it has been repeated not only by foreign, but, what is less pardonable, even by Polish authors. We are fully aware that in the portions of the work relating to Chopinʼs youth, manners, compositions, and to the Polish national music, Liszt received much help from a Polish emigrant, Franz Grzymala. He had been a deputy at the Diet, and was an able author and journalist; he died in Paris in 1871, the day after the capitulation. Not having made Chopinʼs acquaintance until his residence in Paris, it does not appear, from what he told Liszt, that he could have possessed any accurate information about his early life. Julius Fontana, who had known Chopin from childhood, entered a protest against Lisztʼs assertion, so also did the parents of the great artist, who were sadly pained to read that Prince Radziwill had entirely provided for Fredericʼs education. Professor at three large academies in Warsaw, and proprietor of a flourishing _pension_, surely Nicholas Chopin would have found means for the education of his dearly loved and only son.
