Arthur Rubinstein playing Chopin’s funeral march (the third movement of Piano Sonata No. 2)

Rubinstein was Chopin’s greatest interpreter. In Poland there is a sculpture of him playing a piano with a giant wing on it. It is hideously ugly but sweet. The sculpture used to be a music box. You could put a coin in and a song would play, but it was removed after complaints.
