Frédéric Chopin, Polish Composer

Only known photograph of Chopin, taken the year of his death (of tuberculosis) in 1849. Reproduced from a private collection. Frédéric François Chopin (March 1, 1810 - October 17, 1849) was a Polish composer and virtuoso pianist. He is widely considered one of the greatest Romantic composers. A renowned child-prodigy pianist and composer he left Poland hat the age of 20, shortly before the November 1830 Uprising. He settled in Paris as part of Poland's Great Emigration. During the remaining 19 years of his life, he gave only some 30 public performances, preferring the more intimate atmosphere of the salon. He supported himself by sales of his compositions and as a piano teacher. For most of his life, Chopin suffered from poor health and he died in Paris in 1849 at the age of 39. Before the funeral, pursuant to his dying wish, his heart was removed. It was preserved in alcohol (perhaps brandy) to be returned to his homeland, as he had requested. The majority of Chopin's works are for solo piano, though he also wrote two piano concertos, a few chamber pieces and some songs to Polish texts. His piano works are often technically demanding, with an emphasis on nuance and expressive depth. Chopin invented the instrumental ballade and made major innovations to the piano sonata, mazurka, waltz, nocturne, polonaise, étude, impromptu, scherzo and prélude.

Título: Frédéric Chopin, Polish Composer
Descripción:
Traducción automática: Única fotografía conocida de Chopin, tomada el año de su muerte (de tuberculosis) en 1849. Reproducida de una colección privada. Frédéric François Chopin (1 de marzo de 1810 - 17 de octubre de 1849) fue un compositor y pianista virtuoso polaco. Es ampliamente considerado uno de los más grandes compositores románticos. Renombrado pianista y compositor niño prodigio, abandonó Polonia a la edad de 20 años, poco antes del levantamiento de noviembre de 1830. Se instaló en París como parte de la Gran Emigración de Polonia. Durante los 19 años restantes de su vida, sólo realizó unas 30 representaciones públicas, prefiriendo la atmósfera más íntima del salón. Se mantuvo con la venta de sus composiciones y como profesor de piano. Durante la mayor parte de su vida, Chopin sufrió problemas de salud y murió en París en 1849 a la edad de 39 años. Antes del funeral, conforme a su último deseo, le extrajeron el corazón. Fue conservado en alcohol (quizás brandy) para ser devuelto a su tierra natal, como él había solicitado. La mayoría de las obras de Chopin son para piano solo, aunque también escribió dos conciertos para piano, algunas piezas de cámara y algunas canciones con textos polacos. Sus obras para piano suelen ser técnicamente exigentes, con énfasis en los matices y la profundidad expresiva. Chopin inventó la balada instrumental e introdujo importantes innovaciones en la sonata para piano, mazurca, vals, nocturno, polonesa, estudio, improvisación, scherzo y preludio.
