You know out of own experience how many hours, days and months you need in order to construct a web site and that the work never ends... When I met this web site in the www the first view was an insignificant black & white design with some flash and an easy navigation. Nothing exciting. But it hides a true treasure: The Complete Music of Fryderyk Franciszek Chopin, the greatest Polish composer and pianist. Moreover a detailed biography, a work list, the great Chopin Interpreters, Quizzes, Contests, a Chopin Forum and more. One of the visitors from all over the world called this site a �Chopin-lover's paradise�. What a great and incredible work of Anh. Fr�d�ric Chopin found his permanent homeland in the www.
