The gloomy chap in the photo is Frederic Chopin. What with the TB that was soon to kill him and the collapse of his affair with George Sand (aka Aurore Dupin), he had reason enough to look bummed. Anyway, it's his 202nd birthday, or near enough (Feb. 22nd). Honor the memory of the greatest composer for the piano by listening to one of his greatest interpreters, Martha Argerich, play the sublime Andante Spianato. Poor Chopin. Happy birthday anyway, maestro
