Frédéric François Chopin (Fryderyk Franciszek Chopin, sometimes Szopen; 1 March 1810 17 October 1849) was a Polish composer and virtuoso pianist.He was one of the great masters of Romantic music.Chopin was born in the village of Żelazowa Wola, in the Duchy of Warsaw, to a French-expatriate father and Polish mother and was regarded as a child-prodigy pianist. On 2 November 1830, at the age of twenty, he left Warsaw for Austria, intending to go on to Italy. The outbreak of the Polish November Uprising seven days later, and its subsequent suppression by Russia, led to Chopin's becoming one of many expatriates of the Polish Great Emigration.
In Paris, Chopin made a comfortable living as a composer and piano teacher, while giving few public performances. Though an ardent Polish patriot. in France he used the French versions of his names and eventually, to avoid having to rely on Imperial Russian documents, became a French citizen. After some ill-fated romantic involvements with Polish women, from 1837 to 1847 he had a turbulent relationship with the French authoress George Sand. Always in frail health, he died in Paris in 1849, aged thirty-nine, of pulmonary tuberculosis.Chopin's compositions were written primarily for the piano as solo instrument. Though they are technically demanding, the emphasis in his style is on nuance and expressive depth. Chopin invented musical forms such as the instrumental ballade and was responsible for major innovations in the piano sonata, mazurka, waltz, nocturne, polonaise, étude, impromptu and prélude.

@NuovoCurioso Thank you!

It's great, but I think the appoggiaturas would sound better if you played them more casually.

[michelmans]

@nekrorider ♥ Appoggiaturas (Italian, from appoggiato, past participle of appoggiare, to lean on, from Vulgar Latin *appodire ) So, to lean on...Dear nekrorider :-) You are seriously telling us that if we NOT lean on the notes that we have to lean on, the piece would sound better? :-) Interesting :-) Thank you for the precious critic :-) ♥

Prelude 4 and 6 were the last 2 pieces Chopin ever played

[Siddosmg]

@HerlockSholmes123 Yes that is true. But just to add, the women were made to sing behind a curtain so they wernt actually seen.

OUTSTANDING beauty, Chopin was consistently brilliant throughout his 39 years on this planet, he is my favourite composer, only J S Bach, Chopins model, and Chopin himself have reached the highest form of perfection within music!
