Yes, thank you so much, Frédéric Chopin! There's a lot of freeware music on Wikipedia composed by today's birthday child. Real music. Not scores. VLC Player seems to be needed.

Happy birthday, indeed!
I'm going out to celebrate Chopin's birthday with some friends tonight. We'll have some champagne and of course listen to (and play) some of his wonderful music.
Frederik - sounds wonderful. I'd love to learn of what you played!
It's such a shame the Great Polish Man never sat at the organ console or, wrote music for it like Liszt !
Frederic Chopin died too late.
Yeh, he was just getting the hang of it, pity.
Thank you Mr. Johann Heinrich Chuzzlewit for this delightfully irreverent, if unsubstantiated assertion.
Chopin was adept at the construction of figuration which generates a clear harmonic flow while at the same time permitting linear elements to emerge through the pattern, but he could not write counterpoint, indeed, all through his work the harmonized tune excludes counterpoint. This is why Chopin fails as a composer, and it may be judged as symptomatic of intellectual degeneration that he is more recorded than William Byrd.

Chopin FAILS as a composer!!??!!
What a decidedly odd thing to state. I would say that most people might disagree with you there, I certainly do.
Perhaps Lord Goring means Orchestral composition
Well that very well could be, but as it stands ...
I would say " that just because you do not write counterpoint does not mean that you can not be a composer" counterpoint is an art in itself... many composer write excellent music even if it is not counterpoint as such. " He is not BACH :he is CHOPIN!!"
I wish you the Best for each day, now and always.

To quote some guy, sort of:
And maybe when Lord Goring gets to that point in his own life, people will be as charitable to him as he has been to Chopin.
Maybe.
