L'eterna armonia (1945)
Chopin muove i primi passi sotto la guida di Joseph Elsner, vecchio professore che ha intuito che il ragazzo ha una particolare predisposizione per la musica. I suoi genitori vorrebbero invece che si dedicasse allo studio. Il ragazzo ben presto entra in contatto con le organizzazioni patriottiche che lottano per l'indipedenza della Polonia. Chiamato a suonare davanti al governatore russo Chopin si rifiuta ed è costretto a lasciare il suo amato paese. A Parigi ottiene il successo e conosce George Sand, la scrittrice che avrà tanta influenza sul suo futuro.
