Chopin, Frederic (Fryderyk)
Born: Zelazowa Wola (Poland), 1 March 1810
Died: Paris, 17 October 1849
A composer famed for his ability at the piano, who in turn wrote the vast majority of his music for that instrument. Many of his pieces are quite short (being Rondos, Mazurkas and the like) but they are all beautiful. Not being a piano player myself, it is difficult to appreciate their comparative difficulty, but I am assured that most of Chopin’s music is very difficult to play.
Played well, it doesn’t sound it.

Though born in Poland, Chopin spent the last half of his life in Paris, arriving there in 1831. In Paris, he came to know the novelist George Sand, and was her lover for a time.


basically i like his polonaise and mazurkas
