Dobrzynski came to Warsaw in 1825, and took altogether thirty lessons.
Working together under the same master, having the same manner of seeing and feeling, Frederick Chopin and I.F.
Dobrzynski became united in a close friendship.

The same aims, the same artistic tendency to seek the UNKNOWN, characterised their efforts.

They communicated to each other their ideas and impressions, followed different routes to arrive at the same goal.
This unison of kindred minds is so beautiful that one cannot but wish it to have been a fact.

Still, I must not hide the circumstance that neither Liszt nor Karasowski mentions Dobrzynski as one of Chopin's friends, and the even more significant circumstance that he is only mentioned twice and en passant in Chopin's letters.

All this, however, does not necessarily nullify the lexicographer's statements, and until contradictory evidence is forthcoming we may hold fast by so pleasing and ennobling a creed.
The most intimate of Chopin's early friends, indeed, of all his friends--perhaps the only ones that can be called his bosom friends--have still to be named, Titus Woyciechowski and John Matuszynski.
