Frederic Chopin
painted by E. Delacroix
Frederic Chopin (1810-1849) is one of the most famous, influential and admired composers for the piano, and Poland's most significant one. He was born of French and Polish parentage in the village of Żelazowa Wola near Warsaw. In Warsaw he was hailed as a child prodigy for his keyboard and composition skill. He left for Paris at the age of 20, having already composed his two piano concertos. Although some of his music is among the most technically demanding for the instrument, Chopin's style emphasizes poetry, nuance and expressive depth, rather than mere technical display.
