In Warsaw, Guo performed a solo version of Chopin’s Concerto in F Minor on a contemporary replica of an 1830 Pleyel piano made by Paul McNulty, and the Preludes on Chopin’s last piano, an 1848 Pleyel.

“Napoleon” premiered at Salle Pleyel in Paris on Nov. 14, and is scheduled to be released in the United States and the United Kingdom on Nov. 22.

She studied at the Paris Opéra’s Ecole d’Art Lyrique and sang her first concert at Paris’ Salle Pleyel in 1985.

The museum, which houses Chopin’s last piano, a Pleyel, and manuscripts of his music, will also display new items including letters he wrote to his companion, the writer George Sand, and a satirical drawing she made of him, as well as an oil portrait of Chopin painted by his friend Teofil Kwiatkowski.

Paul McNulty is spending days at the Chopin museum in Warsaw filling in some cracks in the soundboard and putting in wire strings like the ones used by Paris piano manufacturer Camille Pleyel — Chopin’s favorite — in 1848.
