Why aren't we in Paris or Warsaw where I could call him out?" He tossed about in pain and fever, irritably deciding that his bandage hurt him, and he must recall the doctor, when he heard Sorell's voice at the door. It quieted him at once. "Come in!" Sorell came in with a scared face. "My dear boy what's the matter?" "Oh, there was a bit of a row last night.

From Karasowski learn that the master composed the twelfth study of Op. 10 during his stay in Stuttgart, being inspired by the capture of Warsaw by the Russians, which took place on September 8, 1831. Whether looked at from the aesthetical or technical point of view, Chopin's studies will be seen to be second to those of no composer.

It is unnecessary to describe the events which succeeded the fall of Warsaw in great detail.
He therefore resolved, instead of going to Warsaw where the court physician might have given her some relief, to go to Spychow. That plan was terrible, because it seemed to him that all was over with her and that he would not be able to bring her alive to Jurand. But just as they were only a few hours distant from Spychow the brightest ray of hope shone again in his heart.
