Chopin, magnificently simple or wildly stormy,
In every note original and sweet,
Embodies freshness of a pure morning
And darkness of a dangerous pursuit.
The genius of music had the powers
To touch the strings of souls and excite,
To make his pains and joys as almost ours,
And turn the sound waves into insights.
His universal reach inspires awe
Across all languages and cultures, young and old.
Whoever has a seeking tender soul,
Finds here more than one has ever sought.
What other art is more supreme than music?
More grand when talented, and also more elusive?
