Heartless

Nearly every year, a long-dead major music personage gets exhumed in the interests of science. Last year it was Frederic Chopin, who died at 39 in 1849, reportedly of tuberculosis. Some researchers want to test Chopin's heart, to find out whether he really died of cystic fibrosis. The Polish government demurs. The heart, preserved in a jar of cognac, rests in a Warsaw church. (The rest of Chopin rests in Paris.)

I visited Chopin's grave in Paris.
I didn't know his heart wasn't in it.
