Frederic Chopin Home Site - Vienna

Frederic Chopin's home site is on Kohlmarkt in Vienna, Austria.  After several years of successful performances throughout Europe, the famed Polish composer/pianist finally left home for good in November of 1830, to make his way in the world.  His first stop was Vienna, where he lived from November, 1830 to July, 1831, with the intention of going to Italy, but civil violence in that country made travel risky.  He then opted for Paris, but was detained for several months with visa issues.  He spent his time in Vienna on the fourth floor of the house which once stood on this site, alone and longing for company.  He finally made it to Paris in September.  His home in Vienna was torn down in 1900 and replaced with the current building.  A marker is located on the outside wall.
