This is a fascinating lecture. I especially enjoyed his insight on the D-flat nocturne; it will be very helpful for my studies on this piece :)

Chopin was not french at all, his father was born in Lorraine. Lorraine belonged to the king of Poland Stanislaus I. Leszczyński, so Lorraine was polish !!! After death of Stanislaus many polish people went back to their home country, so did Chopin´s father. Why else should one move to Poland those days. There are also people saying one teacher of Chopin was german (Josef Elsner), but he came from Silesia and was polish; a german name was protection.The addition Bartholdy was protection, too !!!
