Description
 
Ignacy Jan Paderewski was the most famous Polish pianist of the early twentieth century. Thousands flocked to his concerts to hear his romantic style of playing. But Paderewski was more than a pianist. During the years that his native Poland was controlled by Russia, Paderewski the patriot spoke out for the liberation of his country. When his dream became a reality after World War I he dropped his musical career and devoted himself to Poland. After serving a single year as president, he worked raising funds and lobbying the world's leaders to keep Poland alive. Today Paderewski is remembered as a champion of his country who risked his life and fortune to resist political tyranny.
