Chopin, Polish composer and pianist. Born on March 1, 1810 in Zelazowa Wola, a suburb of Warsaw. His father is originally from France and his mother is from Poland. He was an unusually precocious child who was writing poetry at the age of six. His musical genius soon proved that he was destined to become "a successor to Mozart." When he was nine years old, he played in public at a concert. After the concert, he seemed to be more concerned about his collar than his extraordinary playing skills. He said to his mother: "Everyone is looking at my collar." , Mom.”
After graduating from high school, he entered the Warsaw Conservatory of Music and began early creative activities. After 1830, he settled in Paris, where he spent the rest of his life. From then on, Chopin could never return to China. At that time, the Polish national liberation movement was rising. The national struggle against foreign slavery and for freedom and independence had a profound impact on the young Chopin's thoughts, thus cultivating his national feelings and patriotic enthusiasm.
In 1837, he sternly refused the position of "chief pianist to His Majesty the Russian Emperor" awarded to him by Tsarist Russia. Schumann called his music like "a cannon hidden among the flowers." Chopin declared to the world that "Poland will not perish", which shows his patriotism. He lived a lonely life in his later years and painfully called himself a "Polish orphan far away from his mother." From 1846 onwards, Chopin's creation began to decline. On the one hand, he was hit hard by several setbacks in the Polish national movement; on the other hand, the breakdown of his love with the writer George Sand and his physical weakness greatly affected his creative enthusiasm and his health deteriorated. He died in his residence in Paris on October 17, 1849. On his deathbed, he asked his relatives to transport his heart back to his motherland, Poland, after his death.
Chopin's creative career can be divided into two periods starting from 1830, namely the Warsaw period and the Paris period. 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 "Narrative Poem No. 1" and "Polonaise in A flat major" that were related to the Polish national liberation struggle. He also had heroic works full of patriotic enthusiasm such as "Revolutionary Etudes", "Scherzo in B minor", the tragic work "Sonata in B flat minor" which mourns the fate of the motherland, and many fantasies and serenades.
When he went to Paris in early September 1831, he learned the sad news that the uprising was suppressed by Tsarist Russia and Warsaw fell, and he was deeply shaken mentally. "Etude in C minor" (also known as "Revolutionary Etude", 1831) and "Prelude in D minor" (1831) were completed at this time. The emotion of anger and grief reached a highly perfect unity with the strict and refined art form, becoming a masterpiece of Chopin's early music creation. The Paris period was a period when Chopin's thought and art were highly mature and his creation was at its peak. The profound national content, original art form and music style have brought his creation to the level of proficiency. Chopin built a legendary reputation by giving only thirty concerts in his entire career, which is unprecedented in the history of piano performance. Chopin respected and inherited the classical music tradition, but his piano skills had a unique style. Especially in his Mazurka and Polonaise dances, he creatively uses national folk modes, harmonies and characteristic rhythms, showing an authentic "Mazur"'s understanding of the national character, style, taste and relationship. Familiarity and understanding of artistic language.
Chopin was a star in the European music scene in the 19th century. His immortal works, which are rich in poetry, full of shocking lyricism and dramatic power, represent the romantic music of the "Golden Age". At the same time, his creations have strong Polish national temperament and emotional content, occupying a very important position in the history of European music. On the one hand, he is known as an outstanding representative of European romantic musicians, and on the other hand, he is recorded in history as the founder of the European national music school in the 19th century. The reason why Chopin is great is that he closely integrated the romantic era style and the spiritual content of patriotism into his musical works.
