The text features excerpts of letters written by Frycek to his friends, which makes it easier to learn about the world he lived in.

Dwa fortepiany).
Audiobook
To celebrate the Chopin Year, the Publishing House Media Rodzina together with the Fryderyk Chopin Institute prepared a radio-play titled Mr. Chopin’s Music. The form of radio-play makes it easier to present the most famous Fryderyk Chopin’s compositions which are perfectly intertwined with narration; among them there are the Polonaise in A major, excerpts of the Concertos in F minor and in E minor and of course Etude Revolutionary. The CD has been recorded in cooperation with the famous Polish actors: Zbigniew Zamachowski, Agnieszka Warchulska and Maria Robaszkiewicz-Kowarska.
