Ignacy Jan Paderewski – „King of tones” and son of great Polish culture, was an excellent composer and pianist, who, as an interpreter of Chopin’s music and his own works, delivered speeches during numerous journeys before public performances at concerts, lobbying for Poland. Out of the need of a patriotic heart, this esteemed diplomat and outstanding politician who demanded independence for Poland, actively supported various initiatives, including large sums for charity and public purposes. Despite the fame and honour of the whole world, he had a great dream to use the money he earned to buy a manor and agricultural property. In this article, the author presents the Swiss headquarters in Riond-Bosson, which has become not only an important centre of a thriving Polish political emigration, but a forge of Polish living art and outstanding individuality. In the suburbs of Morges, in the Paderewski villa, master classes for Polish pianists preparing to participate in the Chopin Competitions in Warsaw were held, as well as meetings during which Polish political and cultural history was shaped for a long time.
