Chopin never returned to China. At that time, the national liberation movement in Poland was in full swing, and the national struggle against foreign slavery and for freedom and independence had a profound impact on young Chopin's thought, thus cultivating his national feelings and patriotic enthusiasm.
1837, he sternly refused the position of "Chief Pianist of His Majesty the Russian Emperor" granted to him by Russia. Schumann called his music "a cannon hidden among flowers". Chopin declared to the world that "Poland will not perish", which shows his patriotism. Living a lonely life in his later years, he painfully claimed to be a Polish orphan far from his mother. From 65438 to 0846, Chopin's creation began to decline. On the one hand, he was hit hard by several setbacks of Polish national movement; On the other hand, the breakup of love and physical weakness with the writer george sand greatly affected his creative enthusiasm, and his health went from bad to worse. 184910 June 17 died in an apartment in Paris.

Chopin's creative career can be divided into two periods, Warsaw period and Paris period, with 1830 as the boundary. In the first period, he completed the most important works of this period, Piano Concerto No.1 and Piano Concerto No.2. In the second half of his life in Paris, he had heroic works related to Poland's national liberation struggle, such as the first narrative poem in A flat major and Polish dance music, heroic works full of patriotic enthusiasm, revolutionary etudes and scherzos in B minor, tragic works mourning the fate of the motherland, sonatas in B flat minor, and many fantasies and serenades.
183 1 When I went to Paris in early September, I was shocked to hear that the uprising was suppressed by Russia and Warsaw fell. Etudes in C minor (alias Etudes of Revolution, 183 1) and Preludes in D minor (183 1) were completed at this time. The feelings of anger and grief and the art form of strict training reached a highly perfect unity, which became a masterpiece in Chopin's early music creation. The Paris period was a period when Chopin's thought and art were highly mature and his creation was in full swing. His profound national content, original artistic form and musical style make his creation perfect. Chopin established legendary honor in only thirty concerts in his whole career, which is unique in the history of piano playing. Chopin respected and inherited the tradition of classical music, but his piano skills were unique. Especially in his Mazuka and Polonaise dances, the creative use of national and folk modes, harmony and characteristic rhythm shows a real mazur's familiarity and understanding of national character, style, interest and artistic language.
Chopin was a star of European music in the19th century. His immortal works, full of poetry, shocking lyricism and dramatic power, represent the romantic music of the "golden age". At the same time, his creation has a strong Polish national temperament and emotional content, which occupies a very important position in the history of European music. On the one hand, he is famous as an outstanding representative of European romantic musicians, on the other hand, he is famous in history as the founder of European folk music school in19th century. Chopin is great because he closely integrated the romantic style and patriotic spirit of the times into his own music works.
