Chopin’s nocturnes are known to the world for their beautiful lyricism. Hearing this familiar soft melody reminds me of the legendary woman George Sand whom he loved deeply. Her shadow seems to be found in every nocturne of Chopin. At that time, the distraught Chopin fled from Poland to Paris, France. Under the introduction of the pianist Liszt, he met the famous female writer George Sand. George Sand carefully arranged concerts after concerts, allowing Chopin to fully demonstrate his talent. He entered the circle of Paris's upper class society and gained many honors and halo. The more than ten years they lived together were a highly productive period for Chopin's creation. At this time, Chopin created a large number of nocturnes and waltzes. It can be said that most of Chopin's music was composed for George Sand. It's a pity that they eventually parted ways. When Chopin was about to tour to raise funds for the Polish Revolution, George Sand kicked him out. As a woman, George Sand did not understand why men were interested in politics, even though she was a writer and had written many literary works that criticized reality and exposed society. Chopin finally collapsed from exhaustion on the tour stage. Before he died, he said, "How I wish to see her again!" George Sand did not see Chopin for the last time, but when she received the news of Chopin's death, she burst into tears.
When George Sand died, Hugo wrote a famous eulogy for her, commenting that she was "the greatest woman of our time." She was the first female writer in French history and a pioneer in advocating feminism. But I think her greatness is more than that. It is her perseverance and decisiveness that made a great Chopin. After ten years of relationship, no one could let go of today's men and women, but she did it. Just imagine, if she did not break up with Chopin categorically, but took other methods to get Chopin to give up his idea of ??joining the revolution. With Chopin's weak character and attachment to her, he would probably give up. In that case, Chopin would become Without that famous musician who is loved so much by the Polish people, he might just be a bourgeois musician of the mandarin duck and butterfly school. In the history of music, his status would be completely different.
George Sand, it’s not that she didn’t love Chopin, she also endured great grief when she left him. However, loving him does not mean obeying him or controlling him, but respecting his choice. If you love bravely, you must love bravely. George Sand used her actions to teach us a very good lesson for today’s women.
