  2. that's one of the holiest pianos ever played by Chopin. its highly possible he wrote sonata 2 'grave (death march) in that cell-like room at the monastery. his state of mind was in utter despair by then, having tuberculosis 🙁

    wow, i bet that place was extra creepy at night…hence the scary music brought forth from that 'spooky' hilltop

  3. This was very touching to see …Where can i buy this documentary? I went to Valldemossa and through hell … just to stand next to that piano, and experience a bit of Chopin in this earth! I was fascinated about this place, since I was a child and heard about their story and his music.

  4. “It’s a huge Carthusian monastery, stuck down between rocks and sea, where you may imagine me, without white gloves or hair curling, as pale as ever, in a cell with such doors as Paris never had for gates. The cell is the shape of a tall coffin, with an enormous dusty vaulting, a small window… Bach, my scrawls and waste paper—silence—you could scream—there would still be silence. Indeed, I write to you from a strange place.”
    (Frederic Chopin 28. December 1838)

  5. Estivemos em Valdemosa,e vimos o piano coberto de flores e sua pequena cama. Ainda hoje é um lugar isolado. Li o livro escrito por Sand , onde ela conta o que se passou neste inverno em Valdemosa. O livro só tem lá, em todas as linguas.Naquele tempo apesar de todas as dificuldades que sofreu ela diz que ali será um grande lugar de turismo.
