In 1962 she received full academic status and thus the right to award MA degrees in all musical subjects. After the Second World War, the school was rebuilt in 1946 as the State Higher Music School (Wyższa Państwowa Szkoła Muzyczna). The old main building was destroyed in the Warsaw Uprising in 1944. After the November uprising in 1830, the school was closed by the authorities of the Tsarist Empire and re-established in 1861 by Apolinary Kątski as the Warsaw Music Institute (Instytut Muzyczny w Warszawie).Īfter Polish independence was regained in 1918, the institute was taken over by the Polish state and was named Conservatory Warsaw (Konserwatorium Muzyczne w Warszawie). Elsner taught in the Dziekanka, which was built from 1770 to 1784 as one of the first palaces for Warsaw capitulars in the classical style.

His sexuality and relationships, particularly with the French writer Aurore Dudevant (better known by her pen name George Sand), are still the topic of intense scrutiny & debate by historians. In Paris he became acquainted with a generation of young composers and artists, amongst them them the Hungarian pianist Franz Liszt, and the French Romantic artist Eugène Delacroix.
Here he made his name as a composer and instructor, preferring to perform in the intimate atmosphere of the salons and his own Parisian apartment, amongst friends, patrons and colleagues, to the large concert halls which he despised. Chopin would spend the last 19 years of his life living amongst his fellow Polish exiles in Paris. The period of the 'Great Emigration' followed, with many Poles fleeing Russian-partitioned Poland. En route to Paris he heard news of the defeat of the Polish November 1830/31 Uprising by Russian forces. Instead a period in Vienna was followed by a trip to Paris. At the age of 20 Chopin left Warsaw for Western Europe, intending to spend time performing in Germany & Italy.
