He has maintained worldwide renown as a leading musician of his era, one whose "poetic genius was based on a professional technique that was without equal in his generation."
Chopin was born Fryderyk Franciszek Chopin in the Duchy of Warsaw and grew up in Warsaw, which in 1815 became part of Congress Poland. A child prodigy, he completed his musical education and composed his earlier works in Warsaw before leaving Poland at the age of 20, less than a month before the outbreak of the November 1830 Uprising. At 21, he settled in Paris. Thereafter—in the last 18 years of his life—he gave only 30 public performances, preferring the more intimate atmosphere of the salon. He supported himself by selling his compositions and by giving piano lessons, for which he was in high demand. Chopin formed a friendship with Franz Liszt and was admired by many of his other musical contemporaries (including Robert Schumann). In 1835, Chopin obtained French citizenship. After a failed engagement to Maria Wodzińska from 1836 to 1837, he maintained an often troubled relationship with the French writer Amantine Dupin (known by her pen name, George Sand). A brief and unhappy visit to Majorca with Sand in 1838–39 would prove one of his most productive periods of composition. In his final years, he was supported financially by his admirer Jane Stirling, who also arranged for him to visit Scotland in 1848. For most of his life, Chopin was in poor health. He died in Paris in 1849 at the age of 39, probably of pericarditis aggravated by tuberculosis.
All of Chopin's compositions include the piano. Most are for solo piano, though he also wrote two piano concertos, a few chamber pieces, and some 19 songs set to Polish lyrics. His piano writing was technically demanding and expanded the limits of the instrument: his own performances were noted for their nuance and sensitivity. Chopin invented the concept of the instrumental ballade. His major piano works also include mazurkas, waltzes, nocturnes, polonaises, études, impromptus, scherzos, preludes and sonatas, some published only posthumously. Among the influences on his style of composition were Polish folk music, the classical tradition of J.S. Bach, Mozart, and Schubert, and the atmosphere of the Paris salons of which he was a frequent guest. His innovations in style, harmony, and musical form, and his association of music with nationalism, were influential throughout and after the late Romantic period.
Chopin's music, his status as one of music's earliest superstars, his (indirect) association with political insurrection, his high-profile love-life, and his early death have made him a leading symbol of the Romantic era. His works remain popular, and he has been the subject of numerous films and biographies of varying historical fidelity.
Over 230 works of Chopin survive; some compositions from early childhood have been lost. All his known works involve the piano, and only a few range beyond solo piano music, as either piano concertos, songs or chamber music.
Chopin was educated in the tradition of Beethoven, Haydn, Mozart and Clementi; he used Clementi's piano method with his own students. He was also influenced by Hummel's development of virtuoso, yet Mozartian, piano technique. He cited Bach and Mozart as the two most important composers in shaping his musical outlook. Chopin's early works are in the style of the "brilliant" keyboard pieces of his era as exemplified by the works of Ignaz Moscheles, Friedrich Kalkbrenner, and others. Less direct in the earlier period are the influences of Polish folk music and of Italian opera. Much of what became his typical style of ornamentation (for example, his fioriture) is taken from singing. His melodic lines were increasingly reminiscent of the modes and features of the music of his native country, such as drones.
Chopin took the new salon genre of the nocturne, invented by the Irish composer John Field, to a deeper level of sophistication. He was the first to write ballades and scherzi as individual concert pieces. He essentially established a new genre with his own set of free-standing preludes (Op. 28, published 1839). He exploited the poetic potential of the concept of the concert étude, already being developed in the 1820s and 1830s by Liszt, Clementi and Moscheles, in his two sets of studies (Op. 10 published in 1833, Op. 25 in 1837).
Chopin also endowed popular dance forms with a greater range of melody and expression. Chopin's mazurkas, while originating in the traditional Polish dance (the mazurek), differed from the traditional variety in that they were written for the concert hall rather than the dance hall; as J. Barrie Jones puts it, "it was Chopin who put the mazurka on the European musical map." The series of seven polonaises published in his lifetime (another nine were published posthumously), beginning with the Op. 26 pair (published 1836), set a new standard for music in the form. His waltzes were also written specifically for the salon recital rather than the ballroom and are frequently at rather faster tempos than their dance-floor equivalents.

Supongo que nadie comprenderá esto porque está en español o porque sea difícil de entender. Pero debo dejar plantadas mis emociones en algún sitio y eso es lo que estoy haciendo. El piano y la música ha sido lo que me ha motivado a lo largo de los malos tiempos que han pasado en mi corta (pero algo dura) vida. No soy quien para juzgar, vivo muy bien en comparación a otra gente, pero no quiero comparar, tan solo quiero dejar todo de lado y pensar: ah, ¡qué bella es la vida!
Pero este sentimiento no ha aparecido en mi en mucho tiempo, y cuando lo hace, son por cortos periodos. Eso no importa, porque la música existe y es gracias a ella y Dios por lo que sigo agradecida con la vida, y aún así no puedo vivirla al máximo, por el miedo o la imposibilidad, las tantas cosas que tengo acumuladas, las que quiero terminar de una sola vez. Pero ¿qué es esta necesidad humana a la que tanto nos acercamos, sino una distracción de la realidad? El arte se emplea para una sola cosa, y esa es la representación de algo. Y por más abstracta que sea la idea, siempre va a estar vinculada a un término humano o realista, que represente el sentimiento o la causa.
Como persona, estoy teniendo por mi vida, por mi futuro, me preocupo. Pero eso ya lo sabíamos.
En la ciudad nublada de Lima, Perú, las cosas se vuelven pesadas, con el contexto de esta pandemia, peor. Y quiero mantener esa fe de saber que alguien más pasa por lo mismo que yo.
Con miedo, y mucho temor, quiero acercarme a ella, la música, majestuosa que hace que la vida sea algo que se disfrute.
He estudiado piano por los últimos cinco años. Desafortunadamente ha ocurrido un problema y no puedo tocarlo como antes, ¡oh, qué maldad! Sí, pero no quedaba otra opción. Si no puedo rendirme, no me queda otra opción que seguir luchando. Porque es doloroso, y es duro, y porquela vida va a continuar siendo de esa forma y no podré hacer nada para cambiar lo que tiene planeado. Y, aunque no lo comprenda, debo seguir en pie. Por más que no quiera, o que no pueda, y aunque duela hasta el punto de arder, si sigo así, puede que llegue a encontrar una respuesta.
Muchas gracias, Frédéric. Por ser una de mis más grandes motivaciones, ha sido todo un placer poder interpretar algunas de tus piezas, ojalá pronto nos volvamos a encontrar en ese lugar tan raro que es la música.

Chopin's Waltz Op. 64 No 2. The penultimate waltz he published, and one of the last works he ever composed. In contrast to the grandeur in some of his more lively waltzes, Chopin was also a master of melancholy, as captured in this waltz. Even in the major theme, I can't help but feel something bittersweet - who knew the feeling of loneliness and longing could be so beautiful? I hope you have a great start to the week ♥

I saw my father playing this timeless piece when I was a kid. I am 82 now and I still remember watching his strong hands over the keyboard and the pleasure in his handsome face. When he was 18 my grandparents prompted him to apply for a scholarship in Europe, which he reluctantly did. When it was his time for a test, there was a sudden power outage in the building; my father said he would play anyway -which he did in the dark! The German professor wanted to take him to Europe right away! But my father said he preferred to remain studying in Montevideo, where he became an architect and math teacher --never stopping his piano playing.

That's actually impressive. Your father must have been a great man.
