Chopin's Pickled Heart Reveals Cause of His Death

I was happy to receive this article from John Bell, my former student, long time friend, my first ski instructor and music lover who, being himself a great specialist in quite remote profession, is still maintaining to practice and play piano often. It makes me so happy to see you loving music so much, John!

For so long time we were wondering what was the true cause of F. Chopin's death. Science and technology, knowledge and pioneering techniques are taking us closer and closer to a moment, when going back in time, recreating processes and reading history from remains will become even more reliable.
