And Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, 1756.1.27-1791.12.5.)

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Mozart was born in the center of Salzburg. In 1762, the "child prodigy" who was only six years old was taken to the Sch?nbrunn Palace in Vienna to play the piano for Empress Maria Theresa. When Mozart was young, he traveled throughout Europe with his father. Later, Mozart served as a musician under the Bishop of Salzburg, during which time he visited Italy many times. The trip to Italy had a profound impact on his creation. In 1781, Mozart broke with the bishop and came to Vienna alone to start a life as a free artist. Mozart left behind hundreds of works in his short life, including forty-one symphonies, popular operas such as "The Marriage of Figaro" and "The Magic Flute", as well as numerous serenades, chamber music, churches, etc. Music, Piano and Violin Concertos. Mozart's life in Vienna was full of contradictions, with brilliant achievements on the one hand and disappointment and downfall on the other. In 1791, Mozart died suddenly of illness, leaving behind a requiem for an unknown person. His body was buried in an unknown grave in St. Marks Cemetery. The mysterious legend makes the story of this talented artist even more attractive. In addition to the Salzburg Grain Alley where Mozart lived as a child, which is now well preserved, the Viennese people also call the former residence where he composed "The Marriage of Figaro" the Figaro House, showing a scene to the visiting admirers. A generation enjoys the life of Saint Mozart.

Fryderyk Fanciszek Chopin (1810-1849), a great Polish musician, loved Polish folk music since childhood. He wrote "Polonaise" when he was seven years old. He debuted on stage at the age of 20 and became a recognized pianist and composer in Warsaw before he was twenty. During the second half of his life, when Poland was subjugated, he spent time abroad and composed many patriotic piano works to express his homesickness and hatred for the country's subjugation. Among them are heroic works related to Poland's national liberation struggle, such as: "Ballade No. 1", "Polonaise in b A major", etc.; there are combat works full of patriotic enthusiasm, such as "Revolutionary Etudes", "B "Scherzo in Minor", etc.; there are tragic works that mourn the fate of the motherland, such as "Sonata in B flat minor", etc.; there are also fantasy works that miss the motherland and relatives, such as many nocturnes and fantasias.

Chopin stayed with the piano throughout his life, and almost all his creations were piano music. He was known as the "Piano Poet". He often performed to raise funds for his compatriots abroad, but reluctantly performed for nobles. In 1837, he sternly refused the position of "chief pianist to His Majesty the Emperor of Russia" awarded to him by Tsarist Russia. Schumann called his music like "a cannon hidden among the flowers", announcing to the world: "Poland will not fall." Chopin lived a very lonely life in his later years, and painfully called himself a "Polish orphan far away from his mother." Before his death, he asked his relatives to transport his heart back to his motherland.
