Happy 204th birthday, Chopin.

I know someone's going to be a pedant and tell me that it's unclear whether his birthday is on 22 February or 1 March, but who cares? Here's to a great composer, although some say that his music is performed ad nauseam.

Oh, and here's an archive of recordings of his complete works. Enjoy.

The month and day aside, there must be no controversy on the year of his birth, 1810, so your celebration is 10 years premature. Our Chopin is only 204.
Don't let anyone know where you tie your goat.

Well, that's embarrassing. Now the world knows of my terrible arithmetic. Fixed.
