“The sadness in Chopin’s music is a pure flow of the soul, without the touch of plot, and without any concealment. This kind of sadness deeply rooted in Chopin’s heart is created by various factors, roughly as follows: The following four points:
1. National complex. Chopin was an exile. Poland no longer existed, but his inner feelings were always loyal to the Polish nation, but he could not return to his country until his death.
2. Homesickness. Most of the melancholy emotions reflected in our country's Tang poems come from homesickness. It can be seen that artists' thoughts are universal regardless of ancient and modern times.
3. The attachment to family members. According to research, Chopin's mother was a housekeeper of a nobleman, and his father was a Frenchman with radical ideas and culture. Chopin lived a happy life since he was a child, and received a lot of family education in literature, language, taste cultivation, good habits, etc. Therefore, Chopin had a great influence on his family. He has a lot of attachments, and half of his letters are to his family.
4. The ups and downs of his love life. When he was young, Chopin had a sweet love, which even reached the point of discussing marriage. Due to various reasons such as opposition from the woman's family, the relationship ended with nothing. After she became famous, her intimate relationship with the famous female writer George Sand was well known. This extremely talented and charming female writer also had radical thoughts and political acumen. Although they were very different from Chopin's introverted and shy character, the two had a deep relationship and lived together for 8 years. According to historical data, they broke up in 1847 and officially severed contact in 1848. Chopin and George Sand died in 1849. The influence on Chopin ranged from music to his entire life. There were also some small episodes. Before Chopin died, there was a woman who fell in love with him, but Chopin knew that he was destined to die soon and flatly refused. From the above, it can be seen that Chopin was only a person. The purely emotional journey is full of sadness and twists and turns.
