AB - The purpose of this study is to rethink Chopin and his music by exploring his diasporic experiences. He has been described according to conflicting images-either as a national composer or a poète maudit [cultural outsider]. These images of him have been made repeatedly through various discourses so that he has been misunderstood not only by scholars but also by general audiences. Therefore, I re-examine him and his music via a new approach, that is “ambivalence” caused by living “in-between” space, as defined by literary critic Homi Bhabha. Chopin was certainly stimulated by his surroundings in Paris, including the abundance of affluent musical tastes and resources while he was physically living there, yet his longing for his homeland and hometown of Warsaw caused him psychologically to live across time and space. Understanding living “in-between” space is crucial to understanding Chopin both as a composer and as an emigrant, since the literal place - or space - provided the composer with such immense creativity and possibility. Chopin constantly crossed beyond borders, creating ‘hybrid’ music that was unique in expression yet deeply rooted in tradition, as in the case of his Piano Bb minor Sonata, Op. 35. In this paper, I argue that Chopin’s image as an outsider or “the other” is a discursive formulation, unconsciously deployed by his equally ambivalent fellow composers, and his hybrid musical style is also a result of the experience of living in-between space.
