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.

comrade
bazen kalpler kırılır
bazense kalplerde çiçek açar
benim kalbimse bir kadının okyanusunda boğulmaya mahkum
o kadın derinlerden gelmeye cesaret ederse belki kurtarabilir beni
yoksa son nefesimide tüketir ve yok oluşa yelken açarım
ama pişman değilim
ben bu yola her ne olursa olsun bilerek çıktım
tüm fırtınalarına rağmen o deniz kızının gülümsemesi için onun sularında tükettim benliğimi
belki bir gün birbirimizin olur gülümseriz
belki yıllar sonra iki yabancı olur karşılaşırız bir metro istasyonunda
olabilecek her şeye rağmen o deniz kızı kalbimde izini bıraktı
bu izden kan aksada çiçek açsada hep orda kalacak
chopinin bu parçasını ne zaman dinlesem o yükselme yerinde bana deniz kızının sesini hatırlıtıyor
en derinlerime işleye o huzur verici sesi...

To me it sounds like he’d really setting the scene for the calm before the storm , when he & his love of his life were dancing & playing around during spring/dummer time....everything is perfect ...except that’s a long gone memory, as the love of his life is death.
He’d sinking into a denial fase where he’s obsessivly playing to block out the pain/memories & only remembering the good times, however he’s going deeper into depression & the piano is the only thing he’s able to communicate through & relive all the emotions building up ...the memories(good times) but he can’t Shake the feeling & know this is no longer a reality & he becomes more numb & distant as the song progress & he’s leaning heavly onto the keys to show the shift & by the end of it he’s fingers are just playing without him being present at all, automatic, as his hands know it by heart & he’s like a manniquin soley playing for a full audience, as he’s world famous, but has lost his true love,
NON of which recognize the menacing undertone & desperation of his performance being him slowly spiraling out of control. The song is like a drug & the only way he can revisit the past nostalgia of his love, but It’s also the constant reminder of being stuck in this reality that he can’t accept, the aftermath being the death of his love that subconciously always plays in the back of the head . He’s using the song as a drug to revisit the past, an escapism from his current reality. He’s getting high & reliving his aching heart by living in the past on repeat, but in the end when there’s a high there always comes a low, which is him recurring to the present reality that he tries so hard to escape, but in the end there’s no other escapism than to completely seperate his soul from his body & be a puppet just doing what the shows command of him...he’s desperetly screaming for help through his Music , but in the end the audience only see & hear what they want to, which may also be a distant memory of a person reminicing watching a concert with a lover ......
This is what it sounds like to me & I can visualize different storylines to do , but the ultimate is the denial & obsession of not being able to let go of the past...You could almost say he’d using the song as a form of astral projection , which is devestating when is the only way to escape any given reality...
Put either way, I definitly agree with You’re statement, like not only playing the chords, but baring your soul & all the different element it maintains through using the speed & depth of the keys.....
Lol Im probably sound crazy....

I am a musical learner. I only dream of having a real piano and being able to learn this. This piece so beautiful and magnificent. Chopin is amazing.

@Tales It bring me joy to see people that are passionate to piano like me. Around me, they're nobody with whom I can share this passion 😭😂
My dream is to play the most beautiful piece of Chopin, it's difficult, but this is making the song so precious and unique.
But without realising it, if you observe your past year of practicing piano, you conclude that you've already realised a dream, the dream of your past years, and at the present you have another dream, a dream to the future, I guess.

You did it?🥺
Tales
@RawCarrot A liked your comment 2 years ago, and four months ago I bought my Upright piano from the brand Schwartzmann, manufactured in Russia, how it ended in my country I don't know.
I've wanted to come back to thank you, it is from simples comments from people like you that I've obtained the motivation needed to reach my dream, so, one more time, Thank you, and Don't give, pianos are expensive, but you can still find a used piano in great shape for a great price, like me.
Some time has passed, and I think that you already reached your dream of having a piano, "I think".

@Red Fox Emperor I'm learning it at moment, myself, and I agree, it's deceptively complex. My best progress so far was thinking of it as 6 beats in each measure (even the ones that feel like 3) and counting the rests as well. Best of luck, hope it helps!
