but you can write Fryderyk Chopin and/or Fryderyk Szopen

saviok w środę 30 kwietnia 2003 o 12²³ napisał(a):

But you are takling about Szopen who was playing piano or about Wodka which name is "Chopin"

piotr_79 w środę 30 kwietnia 2003 o 12³⁴ napisał(a):

Correct comment
I guess that jimwager thought about Chopin-composer, like the second one Leopold Stokowski he was talking about.

piotr_79 w środę 30 kwietnia 2003 o 12³⁹ napisał(a):

Ups, Stokowski was a conductor. But he is connected with music anyway.

jimwager w środę 30 kwietnia 2003 o 12³⁹ napisał(a):

Yes piano Szopen, not the wodka (which i have never seen). There is not much Polish vodka in the UK. There is Englsh, Russian and Swedish.

I HATE the manner of writing Szopen instead of Chopin

. After all the guy knew better what his name was, didn't he? And never have i seen his own signature in form "Szopen" ....
BTW - is this the world record of off-topic threads yet?

I agree, but I think for many Poles it's easier to write Szopen because they normally say "Szopen" not "Chopin"

andol w środę 30 kwietnia 2003 o 14⁰⁰ napisał(a):

So what?
Does it meen that we should write Albert Ainstajn?? I see no reazon why 'Szopen' is allowed. In fact I think the same about writting 'Szekspir' instead of 'Shakespeare'.

saviok w środę 30 kwietnia 2003 o 15²⁸ napisał(a):

Szopen and Chopin is a different problem than Ainstajn or something like that. It is about History, In Poland when Szopen wrote songs we said Szopen, in France where Chopin leaved and died they call him Chopin. Because of popularity France it get used tu say Chopin, in Fact He should be named Szopen, but France would never agree on this, Chopin is sounds more French, and French people are proud that Szopen leaved there and wrote songs. So you see this is historical problem not about spelling

mina86 w środę 30 kwietnia 2003 o 15³¹ napisał(a):

I have one question? What was Szopen/Chopin's name? I do not care how people in France called him. And I also do not care how people in Poland called him. I just care waht was his name, and AFAIK it was 'Chopin' (not 'Szopen')

saviok w środę 30 kwietnia 2003 o 16²⁵ napisał(a):

Ok I check in Polish dictionaries and Encyclopedia
In all world we use Fryderyk Franciszek Chopin And this is correct version.
Exception is in Poland, we can use Fryderyk Franciszek Szopen, we can use both family names, but in official way we have to say Chopin not Szopen
