While you're in Krakowskie Przedmieście, you can see two places where Chopin lived with his family - one is at the University of Warsaw and it's called the Kazimierzowski (Casimir) Palace and the other, located opposite the university is the Czapski Palace, now home to the Academy of Fine Arts (there used to be ‘The Chopins’ living room open to the public but I believe all the memorabilia were moved to the Chopin Museum so it's no longer functioning)

Sadly the Chopin Museum is closed until the end of the year but if you want to visit the museum shop it's located in the Chopin Institute just opposite the museum - here's how to get there.

Last but not least, the Chopin Monument in the Łazienki Park of course!

Those are the main places (plus the Holy Cross Church of course) and here's an overview of the most important Chopin-related placed in Warsaw: Go to Warsaw

so the quote from the letter to woyciechowski is actually a quote from an article in the guardian that covers the "research" of moritz weber on chopin's sexuality. weber's research is very poor, and it annoys me that it got international attention. the guardian article itself is serviceable, but it gives him way too much credit. the quote about the "dirty" dream is syntactically really complex in the original letter and requires a lot more context than you get from this article or from weber's write-up. the word that describes the dream is "szkaradny", which translates best as terrible/awful. chopin was being facetious by calling the dream awful (i think), but there is no reason to translate the word as "dirty" unless you're trying to make it sound ultra scandalous.

“this artist died a long time ago and needn’t concern us now.”

“but he’s still talking to you, and you’re dying to hear what he’s saying!”
