The article describes a quite obscure period of the activity of Raul Koczalski, the outstanding Polish performer of Chopin’s works, which took place in the 1930s. At the time, the artist, living in Berlin, was pursuing his mission of propagating Chopin’s music by giving concerts, lectures and master classes, as well as publishing his own book devoted to Chopin’s music and its rendition. The aim of the article is to compare this activity with Koczalski’s other undertakings – those resulting from the political conditions of those days. As a result, we get to know the artist who must have combined his Polish patriotism with the gestures of admiration towards German cultural heritage, which was possible thanks to the support of both Polish and German authorities. The pursuing of the “mission of conciliation” in the way that included the current interests of the Third Reich was paradoxically enabled by Chopin’s music itself, considered by the authorities in Berlin as a pan- European value.
