Poland announced it had purchased a rare manuscript of a ballad by Frederic Chopin, a score whose exhibition will coincide with this year's prestigious piano competition bearing the composer's name. The manuscript for Ballade No. 4 in F minor was previously in private hands before Poland finalised a deal to buy it. (Photo by Sergei GAPON / AFP)
