Wspomnienia Konstantego Wolickiego z czasów pobytu w Cytadeli Warszawskiej i na Syberii
... Dnia 24. Lipca 1834 r. około 12 w nocy przebudził mię stuk do bramy, a chociaż to prawie codziennie się zdarzało, dziwnie mię jakoś przeraził, i ks. Ojrzanowski również się przebudził. Uważnie podsłuchiwaliśmy ruch i chodzenie po korytarzu, wkrótce jasne światełko błysło przez szybkę, we drzwiach skrzypnęły rygle, wszedł Sojecki ze świecami i z dwoma żandarmami, przystąpił do tapczanu, na którym leżałem, mówiąc — Ubieraj się pan, pojedziemy.

These include the romanticism of the ailing spirit, tragically singing its death-song as life ebbs; the Polish expatriate, helpless witness to the martyrdom of his beloved homeland, exiled among friendly but uncomprehending strangers; the sorcerer-bard of dream, mem...
Music in Chopin's Warsaw
"Warsaw was aware of and in tune with the most recent European styles and fashions in music, but it was also the cradle of a vernacular musical language that was initiated by the generation of Polish composers before Chopin and which found its full realization in his work. Had Chopin been born a decade earlier or a decade later, Goldberg argues, the capital - devastated by warfare and stripped of all cultural institutions - could not have provided support for his talent. The young composer would have been compelled to seek musical education abroad and thus would have been deprived of the specifically Polish experience so central to his musical style."--BOOK JACKET.
