Extractions: "Fryderyk Franciszek Chopin was not only one of the great composers of the 19th century, he was also its undisputed poet." Born on March 1 1810, in Zelazowa Wola, a small village outside of Warsaw, the finest years of his short life were spent in Louis-Phillipe's Paris at the height of the Romantic era. His friends and intimates included most outstanding musicians of the day; Berlioz and Liszt, Mendelssohn and Schumann, Delacroix and Mickiewicz, while his unprecedented affair with the novelist George Sand was the talking point of a decade. His ten year relationship with Mme Sand was an attraction of opposites: Chopin was conservative, middle-class and devoutly Catholic and Mme Sand was radical and liberal-minded. In 1848, after the revolution, he left for London in need of money. He performed concerts in Manchester, Glascow, Edinburgh and London and was presented to Queen Victoria. Chopin returned to Paris to die October 17, 1849. The Illustrated London News summed-up his public standing in one sentence: "One of the greatest celebrities of this musical epoch has just expired in Paris: Chopin is no more". As a composer he was unique in writing almost exclusively for the piano and his work in many ways expressed the whole ethos of his age, its emotionalism, its fierce patriotism and its turbulence. His life reached back to the Napoleonic campaigns and looked forward to the bloody revolutions of the late 1840's.

Extractions: Chopin was born in Warsaw into the affluent home of a French father and a Polish mother of noble lineage. From early childhood, he loved piano music and began taking piano lessons at the age of six. He started to compose even before he knew how to write down his inspirations, and his musical talent soon became obvious, being compared with the childhood genius of Mozart. His first published piece appeared when he was fifteen, and by the time he was seventeen, Chopin was recognized as the leading pianist of Warsaw and a gifted composer. Due to political upheavals in Poland, however, at age twenty he moved to Paris, the center of the Romantic Movement in the arts, and except for occasional trips abroad, spent the rest of his life in France. Being introverted by nature, Chopin avoided giving public concerts, but instead played for groups of friends and made a living from piano teaching and the sale of his works. by a modern critic Les Sylphides , and are heard in countless films such as

Extractions: "One needs only to study a certain positioning of the hand in relation to the keys to obtain with ease the most beautiful sounds, to know how to play long notes and short notes and to [attain] certain unlimited dexterity... A well formed technique, it seems to me, [is one] that can control and vary a beautiful sound quality." Polish composer of music for the piano. Chopin's music helped to expand the technical and expressive range of the piano. The wonder of Chopin's music is the way he conjured new sounds from the piano. His pieces explore the full expressive range of the instrument, and he had the ability to create (sometimes in just a few lines of music) a kind of musical poetry. The freedom with which he played is reflected in his extensive use of tempo rubato. He also extended the harmonic language of the Romantic style; not by bold leaps to new chords and tonalities, but by subtle side trips that take his pieces to those new tonal areas. Finally, Chopin is remembered as one of the first nationalist composers, using the themes and dances of his native Poland as the sources for his pieces (especially the polonaises and mazurkas). In every way, Chopin was the quintessential "Romantic" composer, and Robert Schumann 's initial reaction to his music ("Hats off, gentlemen, a genius") was borne out in his short but spectacular career.

Extractions: Frederic Chopin Biography Frédéric-François Chopin (March 1, 1810 - October 17, 1849) is widely seen as the greatest of Polish composers and an outstanding pianist as well. Born in Zelazowa Wola in central Poland to a French father and Polish mother, he started his musical education in 1816, composed his first work in 1817, and made his first appearance on stage in 1818. He studied music first with Joseph Elsner, and after 1826 in the Musical School in Warsaw. In 1830 he left Poland for France and lived the rest of his life in Paris, where he died of tuberculosis in 1849. He was companion to novelist George Sand for ten years, but she left him when he got tuberculosis, and he died soon after that. His friends were Franz Liszt and Vincenzo Bellini (beside whom he is buried in the Père Lachaise). Although Chopin is buried in Paris, his heart is entombed in a pillar in the Church of the Holy Cross in Warsaw, Poland. Chopin's music belongs to the Romantic period of classical music. Chopin spent most of the first twenty years of his life in Warsaw. The Polish capital was rather provincial; still he was able to hear many of the best artists of the time perform there. Italian opera and singing in general had an indelible effect on him, through the performances of such great singers as Angelica Catalani. Long before Liszt heard Paganini, Chopin was learning from his violinistic feats. Hummel, too, played in Warsaw, and his tentative Romanticism and richly ornamented keyboard layout ignited Chopin's precocious genius. Other influences during his adolescence included Spohr's then strangely exotic chromaticism, Field's fragrant nocturnes, and the mysteriousness of Weber. Of equal importance were the dance forms of his homeland. From the age of eight, Chopin occupied himself with them, haunted by their rhythms, dreaming of an idealized Poland. The last page of music he wrote was a mazurka.

His lyrical, often melancholy, compositions brought romantic piano music to unprecedented expressive heights. A prodigy as a pianist and composer, he began performing at aristocratic salons in Warsaw, and in 1826 he started full-time studies at the Warsaw Conservatory. After concert appearances in Vienna and Munich, he settled in Paris, where he gave his first concert in 1831. Although he remained devoted to Polish culture and artists, he never returned to his homeland. In Paris he became closely associated with the principal composers, artists, and literary figures of his time. He was a virtuoso interpreter of his own works, but his dislike of playing in public made him prefer teaching and composing to the concert stage. In 1836, Liszt introduced Chopin to Mme Dudevant, better known by her pen name George

Extractions: For pianists and lovers of piano music, it is impossible to escape an acquaintance with the life and works of Fryderyk Chopin, who was perhaps the greatest composer of piano music during the Romantic era of the Nineteenth Century. In a relatively short lifetime, Chopin composed an amazing quantity of music, and his works are almost exclusively written for piano solo or piano with orchestral accompaniment. Chopins life has been the subject of many movies and books, not only because of his masterfully beautiful piano music, but also because of his rather unconventional relationship with the French novelist, Aurore Dudevant, who published her novels using the pseudonym, George Sand. While Chopins star is brighter than ever as a composer, the fame of George Sand as a writer has faded to a degree. However, the story of their life together is a truly fascinating tale for adult readers to research. And the several biographies of Chopin discuss their relationship in detail. Fryderyk Chopin remains one of the most original composers in music history. His style of composition shows little influence from other composers of his time. In fact, much of his music defines new genres and categories all its own. However, it is evident that Chopin's music owes a considerable debt to the music of the Irish composer

He combined a gift for melody, an adventurous harmonic sense, an intuitive and inventive understanding of formal design and a brilliant piano technique in composing a major corpus of piano music. One of the leading 19th-century composers who began a career as a pianist, he abandoned concert life early; but his music represents the quintessence of the Romantic piano tradition and embodies more fully than any other composer's the expressive and technical characteristics of the instrument.
