Description
Ignace Paderewski (1860-1941) lived in Poland at a time that the country was controlled by Russia. He was very good at several languages, and his natural gift of music, allowed him to travel and share his talents. This also allowed him to speak eloquently of the plight of the Polish people, and eventually become a statesman. He eventually became the prime minister of Poland and became a champion of Polish freedom. 163 pgs.
Publisher's Description of Lion of Poland: Story of Paderewski (Portraits in Faith and Freedom)
Ignace Jan Paderewski was born in Poland in November, 1860. At his death in 1940, he was honored by burial in the Arlington Cemetery. As a boy, young Ignace saw repeated Polish rebellions against the controlling foreign powers fail. He determines that the way to help Poland become free and united is for him to become a person of renown somehow! His vast natural instinct for music unexpectedly opens a door. Though he excels in musical theory and composition, his dream of becoming a concert pianist is continually thwarted by poor advice and instruction. Then, in 1884, displaying the exceptional gift that recurs throughout his lifetimeof meeting the right person at the right timeIgnace starts on the path to becoming a virtuoso pianist at the unheard of age of 24! By 1910, after taking the world by storm through his brilliance as a performer and popularity as a man of humility, warmth and appeal, Ignace begins his incredible career as statesman. It is now that his lifetime of meeting, winning and helping others comes to the fore, granting him vital influence among political figures and situations of his day. Here is an absorbing portrait, full of lively and illuminating incident, observations from contemporaries and matter for reflection, of a man who was aptly called a genius who happens to play the piano.
