Activities
The activities of the institute include publications, organization of concerts, conserving the physical and artistic Chopin heritage, monitoring the commercial use of Chopin's name and operating a Chopin Information Centre (the institute's website). Amongst its publication projects is a complete facsimile edition of Chopin's works, compiled from all available holograph manuscripts, edited by Zofia Chechlińska. The institute operates the Fryderyk Chopin Museum and the five-yearly International Chopin Piano Competition. It also runs the "Young Talents" programme to encourage young Polish pianists.
