Of all the things it is the very letters Chopin received from Tytus and from other men that are presumed lost. They are likely to also contain homoerotic text: «Dearest Tytus! I received your last letter, in which you tell me to kiss you.»(11/14/1829) Chopin’s letters to those men were written in Polish – too high a barrier for many researchers. Th...
In line with the footnotes it was (and still is) suggested that Chopin speaks about women. But the statements in the footnotes are not corroborated anywhere. None of the renowned biographers like Alan Walker nor the powerful Fryderyk Chopin Institute in Warsaw (NIFC), which is internationally acclaimed as the temple of knowledge about Chopin, can d...
Chopin himself writes nothing about the romantic affairs described in those footnotes in flowery terms. The respective teenagers play only a very marginal role in his letters. The alleged affairs and the unproven engagement all belong in the realm of myths. Most researchers today agree that Chopin’s much-described «relationship» with George Sand wa...
The rather coarse but all the more systematically built-up construct from footnotes and mistranslated words has stubbornly persisted until today. It still distracts the attention from what’s obvious from Chopin’s own hand: his equally intimate and passionate feeling for Tytus Woyciechowski, who may have been the love of his life.

Chopin deliberately separated inside and outside. He paid careful attention as to how he appeared in public – a recurring motive in his letters and a quality often observed by his environment. «One must respect the concealment of hidden feelings.» (5/15/1830) Musicology has long found it difficult to deal with the homosexuality of great classical m...
To date, Chopin’s emotional and erotic relationship with Woyciechowski, the most important relationship in his life, has been distorted or marginalized beyond recognition – even in otherwise reliable sources of reference. In Wikipedia proven details of this relationship were instantly deleted. «I am going to wash. Don’t kiss me now, because I haven...
With Chopin the issue is loaded with a political dimension today: For the Catholic leaning national conservative ruling Law and Justice Party (PiS) Chopin’s love for Tytus Woyciechowski is likely to be most unwelcome. After all, many of its high-ranking representatives act aggressively against minorities, even supporting inhumane ideas like «LGBTQ-...
Polish composer Frédéric Chopin expressed his love for Tytus Woyciechowski in many letters. But they were partly mistranslated or disappeared in mysterious ways. SRF's research reveals the hidden history of Chopin's homosexuality.
