This article discusses the way in which the Chopin Year of 1910 was celebrated in Wielkopolska. It presents a script prepared in the nineteenth century and shows similarities with celebrations of Mickiewicz and other Polish heroes and artists. Invariably used in such commemorations was a “symbolic capital” that made it easier to create an intergenerational code, thereby disseminating knowledge of national culture and history. A significant role was played in 1910 by a centenary panel, which produced “Guidelines for popular Chopin celebrations” and also many occasional, popular materials. Chopin’s induction into the national pantheon involved the use of audio material (vocal and instrumental concerts), verbal material (articles, poems, lectures and brochures) and also a visual code (anniversary window stickers, tableaux vivants or tableaux illuminés). Illuminated pictures - recommended by a catalogue of slides produced in Poznań - stimulated the imagination of the masses and served as a guide through the composer’s life and work, and their impact was enhanced by a commentary. Most of the living pictures were probably inspired by Henryk Siemiradzki’s canvas Chopin grający na fortepianie w salonie księcia Radziwiłła [Chopin playing the piano in Prince Radziwill’s salon] and Józef Męcina Krzesz’s painting Ostatnie akordy Chopina [Chopin’s last chords]. This combination of codes made it possible to create a model adapted to the times and to the expectations of a mass audience. The Chopin anniversary, in which admiration was inseparably intertwined with manipulation, was a pretext for strengthening the national identity.

The article points to a genological clue that has not yet been noticed in studies of Quidam. The clue – situating the pictorial art of description on the side of tableaux vivants – leads genological findings in a direction that is different from the one that has been followed up till now: it allows one to see the structure of the work in a different perspective, first of all connected with the idea of a synthesis of arts, with a strong visual and theatrical emphasis. The author, pointing to a connection between Quidam and the poetics of tableaux vivants, not only wants to broaden the genological spectrum by adding new, unknown areas, but also tries to understand its enigmatic plot structure, within which there are two contradictory factors: power and atrophy, synthesis and analysis, fragmentation of the plot and concentration on one event, reduction and excess.
