Great Polish musician and composer

Representative works: Mazurka, Waltz

Since He loved Polish folk music as a child. He wrote "Polonaise" when he was seven years old. He performed on stage at the age of eight. He became a recognized pianist and composer in Warsaw when he was under 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 and performed for nobles abroad. 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
