Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
Poland was losing its sense of identity after being divided at the end of the 18th century by Russia, Prussia, and Austria. In these conditions, the Polish people heavily embraced their culture to maintain their nationalist sentiments.

They maintained their unity and identity through music. By performing his Polish operas and music, Karol Kurpinski maintained the fight for national independence.

Dances like the "polonaise" and "mazurka" were used as nationalist symbols by the Polish people.
