Question

Frederic Chopin was born in March 1810 near Warsaw in Poland(波兰). He was one of the greatest musicians in the world. In 1831, he went to Paris. No people but he could play the piano very well. At that time, people in Paris liked the Hungarian (匈牙利的) pianist（钢琴家）Franz Liszt.

One night, at a concert, Liszt went to the piano and people shouted. As all the lights in the concert were turned off, a wonderful piano concert started.
