Though technically demanding, Chopin's style emphasizes nuance and expressive depth rather than virtuosity.
A Polish patriot,Ĭhopin's extant compositions were written primarily for the piano as a solo instrument. In Paris, he made a comfortable living as a composer and piano teacher, while giving few public performances. In November 1830, at the age of 20, Chopin went abroad following the suppression of the Polish November Uprising of 1830–31, he became one of many expatriates of the Polish "Great Emigration." He was born in the village of Żelazowa Wola, in the Duchy of Warsaw, to a Polish mother and French-expatriate father, and in his early life was regarded as a child-prodigy pianist. He is widely regarded as the greatest Polish composer, and ranks as one of music's greatest tone poets.
Frédéric Chopin (1 March 1810 – 17 October 1849) was a Polish composer and virtuoso pianist of the Romantic period.
