Frederic Chopin

WARSAW, POLAND - OCTOBER 01: (POLAND AND RUSSIA OUT) Frederic Chopin's monument by Waclaw Szymanowski in autumn. It can be found by a small pond in the rose garden of Lazienki Park. It was finally unveiled in 1926 after fifty long years of negotiations between various committees and associations. However, when Chopin's music became illegal after the outbreak of WWII the statue was torn down and had to be reconstructed after the War. During the summer, free open-air concerts are held here every Sunday at noon which attract quite a crowd. on October 01, 2009 (Photo by Wojtek Laski/Getty Images)
