Frédéric Chopin On March 1st, 1810, Fryderyk Franciszek Chopin
Frédéric Chopin
On March 1st, 1810, Fryderyk Franciszek Chopin was born in Zelazowa Wola Village in Poland. At the age of 6, Chopin began to show musical talents on the piano and was writing verse and composing by the age of 7. Chopin began performing at salons at age 8 and it was not long before his skills surpassed those of his own piano teacher and was deemed a child prodigy.
In 1826, Chopin's father enrolled him in the Main School of Music at Warsaw University. During the time he was in school he composed two important variations: Mozart’s Op.2 on the theme of La ci darem la mano and the Sonata in C minor, Op.4 (Chopin Institute 6), which were published and pushed his career forward. After graduating from the School of Music in July 1829, Chopin left to travel to Vienna, for a tour like experience. He gave two concerts in Vienna, in which he performed “Op.2 and Rondo” and “Op.13 and improvised”. Soon after he returned home to Warsaw, he made a reluctant return to Vienna in hopes of continuing his success, but his second trip was very different from his first. After he left, there was an uprising in Poland that prevented him from being able to visit or see his family or his home. In his distress he performed almost no concerts and the music that he did compose during that time was influenced by the gloomy mindset that he had about his family’s situation.
After eight weeks in Vienna, Chopin moved to Paris, which at the time was the focal point of romanticism in music and the center of the pianistic world (Walker 20). Chopin made a comfortable living teaching piano to the daughters of the rich and also had a very lively social life, being associated with other artists such as Eugene Delacroix, Franz Liszt, and Hector Berlioz. In the late 1830s, Chopin began an affair with Aurore Dudevant, a novelist more commonly known as George Sand. When Chopin was with Sand he came to a new point in his career, producing a remarkable amount of compositions. During their time together, even in the midst of his troubles with tuberculosis, Chopin produced works such as the B minor sonata, the Op.55 Nocturnes and the Op.56 Mazurkas which are characterized by remarkable refinement and complexity (Libbey). As years passed, his relationship with Sand came to an end and his health was deteriorating even more. He died on October 17, 1849, at age 39, from his tuberculosis.
Megan Gannon for livescience.com wrote that Chopin’s last recorded words were: “Swear to make them cut me open, so I won’t be buried alive.” It was said that Chopin had a terrible fear of being buried prematurely so as a result his body was buried at the Pere Lachaise Cemetery in Paris and his heart is now kept in a crypt at the Holy Cross Church in Warsaw, Poland.
Frédéric Chopin was a composer in the Romantic Era. Chopin is infamous for being the first genius to be completely devoted to piano and compose piano centered pieces only. He composed extremely emotional music and many miniatures, ...

It offers pianists a chance to showcase their virtuosity while providing listeners with immediately appealing music, though it is also one of the most technically demanding solo piano works.
Berceuse op. 57
Chopin was a Polish composer and piano master of the Romantic era. Though his life was short, he composed many acclaimed solo piano works, including two that had descriptive titles - the Berceuse in D-flat, Op. 57 and Barcarolle in F#, Op. 60. The Berceuse was written in 1843-1844 as a lullaby, dedicated to a friend's infant daughter. Written in a 6/8 time signature, it features a main melody in the right hand accompanied by a repeated bass line in the left, along with 16 variations on the theme that unfold like patterns in a kaleidoscope. Its soft, smooth style gives it a sweet and dreamlike quality.

From the 1800s to about 1910, Western classical music was defined by its soaring melodies and ever-expanding orchestrations, originality and self-expression. Here are the composers who made all this possible: There are many musicians in the romantic period.
Romance time. In the wonderful words of composer and classical FM host John Branning, "They named him twice. So good."
The 'early' Romantic era began around 1800 with the great classical music of the time Ludwig van his Beethoven. His symphonic revolution ushered in a new era in music history. Fast forward to the turn of the century and music looked very different from the classical era (1730-1820). Late-romantic composers like Rachmaninoff and Mahler expanded the orchestra to an unprecedented scale, adding more colors and instruments, transforming the music into a range of human emotions, from sorrow to joy, passion to sorrow. I changed it to a way to express the whole range.
Here we explore some of the biggest contributors to romance.

Nocturne in B Major and the Man Behind it
Franz Liszt described Chopin as:
“The Polish word: ZAL! As if his ear thirsted for the sound of this word, which expresses the whole range of emotions produced by an intense regret, through all the shades of feeling, from hatred repentance, he repeated it again and again….Susceptible of different regimens, it includes all the tenderness, all the humility of a regret borne with resignation and without a murmur, while bowing before the fiat of necessity, the inscrutable decrees of Providence: but, changing its character, and assuming the regimen indirect as soon as it is addressed to man, it signifies excitement, agitation, rancor, revolt full of reproach, premeditated vengeance, menace never ceasing to threaten if retaliation should ever become possible, feeding itself meanwhile with a bitter, if sterile hatred.” 1
Frederic Chopin was a Polish composer and is considered one of the greatest composers during the Romantic era. Regardless of Chopin’s impression in the minds of the world, his reputation all comes from his music composition. There are many sides to his personality: full of grief after hearing of the fall of Poland, in the sway of the heroic piano etudes, but even in his most dejected, existential crisis, he published a happy waltz. Works independent from the composer's personal life are what make Chopin so fascinating. The best way to understand more about Chopin is to know about his music works.
In understanding his work and his thinking in its development, additional information is supplemented from emotional and subjective material. For example, American pianist Garrick Ohlsson’s interpretations of Chopin Nocturne in B Major, Op.32 No.1 in the Chopin Competition

in 1970, his interpretation is full of sforzandos and eccentric interrupts. It is surprising to find out that this is even a recording of a Chopin nocturne! Many music fans must have doubted this at first because of the pianist’s intentional mischief, but all of this is written on the sheet music under Chopin’s deliberately instructions. Contrary to the typical stylistic elements of the genre of nocturnes, this nocturne in particular requires a firmer and bolder expression, including gentle, feminine qualities as well as strong, masculine qualities. That is what makes this composition unique. These erratic and sudden changes in mood and feel are the product of Chopin’s erratic personality and to understand this is essential to accurately portraying the wishes of the composer.
With respect to the harmonies Chopin uses, such as the beginning of the Second Piano Sonata, or the middle section of his second Impromptu compared with a great pianist’s recordings, it is possible to understand some of the voices, and even some the key notes, with a different sound or the volume of playing, to understand why Krysti.
Beethoven
Ludwig van Beethoven was a German composer born in 1770 who was a pivotal figure in transitioning music from the Classical period to the Romantic era. Though going deaf later in life, he composed profoundly influential works including 9 symphonies, 5 piano concertos, and the choral symphony Symphony No. 9 from which the lyrics of "Ode to Joy" come. His works remain hugely popular and important today, with the length of his Symphony No. 9 even determining the capacity of the compact disc when it was invented.
