The most valuable thing about Chopin’s early creations is that they already showed the Polish national characteristics very early on. The genres and rhythms of various folk dances, as well as the artistic conception and sentiment of customs and life, make his works very vivid and touching. Such as Polonaise in D minor (Op.71 Nrl) and Mazurka in A minor (Op.17 Nr4, "Little Jew"). The first work Chopin wrote in his life was the Polonaise (1817), and the last work he wrote was the Mazurka (1849), which is rich in Polish folk color. This symbolizes that Chopin's life was the life of a Polish national composer, a life closely connected with the Polish people and Polish soil. Chopin rarely directly used folk song melodies to compose music. Instead, he created his own compositions based on the character and tone of Polish national folk music. His music not only has a strong Polish style, but also is full of personal originality; it is inextricably linked with folk music, but it is also carefully processed and artistically improved.

In terms of the style of music, it can also be divided into two categories: one is grand and dramatic; the other is poetic and lyrical.
