Frédéric François Chopin^{[n 1]} (born Fryderyk Franciszek Chopin;^{[n 2]} 1 March 1810 – 17 October 1849) was a Polish composer and virtuoso pianist of the Romantic period, who wrote primarily for solo piano. He has maintained worldwide renown as a leading composer of his era, one whose "poetic genius was based on a professional technique that was without equal in his generation".

Chopin was born in Żelazowa Wola and grew up in Warsaw, which in 1815 became part of Congress Poland. A child prodigy, he completed his musical education and composed his earlier works in Warsaw before leaving Poland at the age of 20, less than a month before the outbreak o

Chopin: fragile, fussy, oversensitive about his nose. And one of our most incredible composers

Few figures have had so profound an influence on the Romantic era as the Polish composer and pianist Frédéric Chopin (1810-1849). Born in Poland and later settling in Paris, Chopin devoted almost all of his composing energies to pieces for solo piano. His works are rightly famed for their lyrical beauty, dazzling technique, and deep emotional expressiveness. Here's an introduction to the life and times of this great, but troubled Romantic.

Who was Chopin?

Frédéric François Chopin (born Fryderyk Franciszek Chopin) was one of the 19th century's most important composers, as well as a virtuoso pianist. Most of his output is for solo piano, and it includes some of the instrument's best known and best loved repertoire.

Frédéric Chopin

Frédéric Chopin, orig. Fryderyk Franciszek Szopen, (born March 1, 1810, Żelazowa Wola, near Warsaw, Duchy of Warsaw—died Oct. 17, 1849, Paris, France), Polish-French composer. Born to middle-class French parents in Poland, he published his first composition at age seven and began performing in aristocratic salons at eight. He moved to Paris in 1831, and his first Paris concert the next year thrust him into the realm of celebrity.

Renowned as a piano teacher, he spent his time in the highest society. He contracted tuberculosis apparently in the 1830s. In 1837 he began a 10-year liaison with the writer George Sand; she left him in 1847, and a rapid decline led to his death two years later.

Chopin stands not only as Poland’s greatest composer but perhaps as the most significant composer in the history of the piano; he exhaustively exploited the instrument’s capacities for charm, excitement, variety, and timbral beauty. His innovations in fingering, his use of the pedals, and his general treatment of the keyboard were hightly influential.
